Creator's Key Takeaways

I've literally stayed at all of them, so you'll know exactly what to expect before you book.

Art of Animation definitely has the most expensive value resort rooms, which is why this place is often called a value plus resort.

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a catch-all in one of the most unique resorts you're going to find on property.

Grand Fian is currently the only Disney World Resort that still offers any sort of in room dining option.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Never pay rack rate for deluxe resort rooms; use special offers and discounts.
Request a partial savannah view room at Animal Kingdom Lodge to save money.
Book a room in the Congress Park section of Saratoga Springs for easy walking to Disney Springs.
Visit Trader Sam's Grog Grotto on nights before Run Disney events for easier access.
Check out the fireworks viewing deck at the Contemporary for a free view.
