Disney Resorts
Pretty much all of the hotels in Disney World are resorts, so those who want the Disney resort experience won't want for lodging options. As mentioned, the Orlando Disney resorts vary when it comes to rates, so you can choose accordingly depending on your budget. For those who are tight on travel funds or who just want to save their money for other things like tours or shopping, the value-priced Disney resorts are a wonderful way to go. Among the discount Disney World accommodation choices are the Pop Century Resort, the All-Star Movies Resort, the All-Star Music Resort, and the All-Star Sports Resort. These resorts all revolve around a main theme, so you can pick according to your personal tastes and preferences. At the Pop Century Resort, twentieth-century pop culture is the theme, while Disney movie characters are the main source of inspiration for the All-Star Movies Resort. Musical icons and top songs of decades past are the focus at the All-Star Music Resort, while sports fans will feel more at home at the All-Star Sports Resort. As if there wasn't already a ton of fun things to do in Orlando, and Disney World for that matter, these value-priced resorts do well to provide a nice list of activities for their guests. Each boasts more than one pool, an arcade, a playground or two, and more. In addition to offering in-room pizza delivery, these discount Disney resorts also feature quick-service eateries, so you can dine onsite to meet your needs.
While a fair amount of amenities can be found in the clean and comfortable guest rooms at the value-priced Orlando Disney Resorts, those looking for a step up can always book a stay at one of the mid-priced resorts. If a mid-priced Disney World accommodation is your aim, you can start by looking at the Disney Port Orleans Resorts, one of which is in Walt Disney World's French Quarter, the other of which is found in the Riverside area. You'll enjoy a New Orleans-related experience at both of these resorts, but if it's something more natural that you're after, you might prefer Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Not only do the cabins at the Fort Wilderness Resort feature full kitchens and plenty of other amenities, but they also have you close to walking and horseback riding trails. At Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, the theme is related to the American Southwest and Mexico , while Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is more akin to something that you might expect to find in the Caribbean. The rooms, the services, and the overall amenities at the mid-priced Orlando Disney resorts are more impressive than they are at the lower-priced options, and among the extras that you'll enjoy are limited room service, Wi-Fi internet access, and increased dining choices. Guests at both the value-priced and the mid-priced Disney Resorts in Orlando can use complimentary busses to get around the Walt Disney World area.
When it's top-of-the-line comfort and service that you are looking for when it comes time to choose a Disney World resort, you will again be presented with a number of options. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, which is located in the Magic Kingdom area, is the most luxurious Disney World accommodation offering, and not far behind it in price and amenities are Disney's Boardwalk Inn, which carries an Atlantic City theme, and Disney's Beach Club Resort, which aims to mimic a beachfront resort in New England. Nature-lover's will probably opt for a stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which sits on 33 acres of wildlife preserve, or they might take to Disney's Wilderness Lodge, where the theme revolves around the great National Parks of the American West. Other deluxe Disney resorts include Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and Disney's Yacht Club Resort. In addition to upscale rooms, a full range of facilities, and excellent service, those staying at a luxury Disney World Resort will also enjoy increased transportation options and added dining establishments. For those who want added space when it comes to booking a stay at one of the Disney deluxe resorts, those that feature villas include the Animal Kingdom Resort, the Beach Club Resort, the Wilderness Lodge, and the Boardwalk Inn. You can also find villas for rent at the Old Key West Resort and the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, which are the remaining choices for deluxe Disney World resorts. Other resorts in Orlando are available as well if you want the resort experience during your Orlando vacation, and it never hurts to check them out as well.

Disney World Hotels in Orlando, Florida
If you are going to Orlando, Florida for the Disney experience, then you will probably be looking to stay at a Disney World hotel. There are numerous Orlando Disney hotels to choose from, so finding the right one to fit your wants and needs shouldn't be an issue. You can also find a lot of hotels near Disney World if you are looking for even more lodging choices in the area, though true Disney fans will likely want to stay within the resort's expansive boundaries. Speaking of resorts, the Orlando Disney hotels are mostly resort properties, so if it's added facilities that you seek, you will do well to stay at one. Regardless of whether you choose a hotel or a resort, those looking to secure Disney World lodging will want to look into the various vacation package options. More often than not, you will be better off combining at least your lodging with your theme park admission tickets, and you might get additional savings by including other things in your package deal, such as your flight and your ground transportation.
Disney Resorts
The Orlando Disney hotels present a nice mix of budget choices, mid-priced options, and luxury establishments, so you can choose accordingly depending on the range of your travel budget. For those seeking a luxury Disney World lodging experience, resorts like Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and Disney's Contemporary Resort are excellent choices, as are more hotel-oriented properties, such as Disney's BoardWalk Inn and the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Like its sister property, which is the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, the Dolphin Hotel is an architectural gem that impresses guests as much with its design as it does with its well-appointed rooms. Should you stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort, you might book one of the new Bay Lake Tower guest units, which are among the freshest rooms in the land. Other upscale Disney World lodging choices include Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which features exotic animals on its grounds, and Disney's Beach Club Resort, which aims to create an ambience that is akin to an old New England beachfront resort. While many a deluxe Disney World hotel offers spacious villas among its guest units, those seeking a luxury villa experience here can also consider renting one of the 2- or 3-bedroom villas at the Disney Vacation Club. Regardless of which upscale Disney World hotel that you choose, you will enjoy a long list of amenities, great service, and proximity to all that Disney World has to offer.
While the upscale Orlando Disney hotels are great, not every travel budget will be able to afford them. Thankfully, there are plenty of mid-priced Disney World lodging options to select from as well. Among them are the Disney Port Orleans Resorts, one of which is in Riverside , the other of which is found in the French Quarter area. It's pretty much all about the New Orleans experience when you stay at one of these two resorts. Should your tastes be more attached to the great American Southwest and Mexico, you might prefer a stay at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, while beach lovers will feel more at home at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. If you can't make it to Barbados, Aruba, or Jamaica this year, staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort is the next best thing, as the overall ambience of the resort is inspired by the tropics. Not all of the mid-priced Disney World hotels are Disney owned, however, and you might also look to the Doubletree Guest Suites or the Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel. Both offer clean and comfortable rooms that can compete with the Disney-owned properties, so they are always worth looking into.
Saving money on Disney World lodging will be the aim of some visitors, and if you find yourself in that group, then you can always opt for a lesser-priced accommodation. Among the top discount Disney World hotel choices are Disney's Pop Century Resort, Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, Disney's All-Star Music Resort, and Disney's All-Star Sports Resort. As you will likely notice, these resorts carry a specific theme just like the other Disney resort properties, so you can choose accordingly based on your preferences. While the rooms and the overall service at these resorts are not as impressive as they are at the aforementioned Orlando Disney hotels, you will still enjoy a considerable amount of comfort and a nice range of services. In addition to staying at one of the discount Disney hotels, those seeking low rates can also look to the hotels near Disney World. In general, lodging costs at the hotels near Disney World will be lower than those at the hotels that are actually found within the resort's boundaries. Since dining in Disney World is also relatively costly, staying at a nearby hotel that is closer to discount eateries can help you keep your overall costs down.
While saving money at one of the hotels near Disney World is a good way to go, there are certain benefits that you will enjoy when staying at a Disney-owned hotel. For starters, all guests at the Disney hotels are guaranteed admission to all the top theme parks, even on the busiest of days. You can also enjoy extended hours at the theme parks, which is always a plus. One of the biggest perks to staying at a Disney-owned hotel involves transportation. All Disney hotel guests can access the free Disney World transportation system, which includes busses, water taxis, and a monorail, so getting around is a breeze. In addition to transportation around the resort property, guests at the Disney-owned hotels will also enjoy complimentary airport shuttle service and free parking, which are just two more reasons to go the Disney route.

Cheap Hotels in Orlando, Florida
While the Orlando area is home to quite a few upscale hotels and resorts, those who are looking to save some money on accommodations can opt instead for a stay at one of the cheap hotels in Orlando. Finding Orlando cheap accommodation is made easy by the fact that there are tons of options. Regardless of where you want to be in the Orlando area, budget hotels abound, so you won't have to stay in the middle of nowhere and make long commutes to get where you want to go. In addition to a long list of cheap hotels, Orlando also boasts plenty of discount motels, which are essentially akin to discount hotels. You might be surprised at how attractive and comfortable some of these discount lodging establishments can be, which gives testament to the competition that hotels face here. With so many accommodation options in Orlando , hotels need to keep up with certain standards if they wish to remain competitive. That's good news for the traveler! In the following paragraphs, you'll find some recommendations for some of the best cheap hotels in Orlando to help you plan your upcoming trip.
The northern end of famed International Drive is a great place to find a budget hotel in Orlando, and among the best choices is the Fairfield Inn International Drive. Often times, this Fairfield Inn gets lumped into the Orlando motels category, and one could argue that no other discount motel in central Florida can beat this one when it comes to overall value. As is the case at many an Orlando cheap accommodation, the Fairfield Inn includes a complimentary continental breakfast and free high-speed internet access in its low rates. While some of the rooms here have a refrigerator and a microwave, all units offer air conditioning, cable TV, a clock radio, plush bedding, a work desk, free high-speed internet access, complimentary bath products, a coffee maker, a telephone, a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board, so you might find yourself wondering if the front desk somehow misquoted the price in your favor. The Hampton Inn and Suites International Drive is another excellent budget hotel in Orlando where you will hardly sacrifice comfort and amenities for a great price. The amenities in the rooms at the Hampton Inn are akin to those at the Fairfield Inn, and you really can't go wrong between the two.
While staying on International Drive is great for those who want to do some shopping at the outlet malls, those who want to check out what downtown Orlando has to offer might want to look into a stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown. Because of the quality of the rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown, its rates are a bit on the high side for those who are looking to go extra low. Should you be looking for an even bigger discount, the Budget Inn Motel might be a better fit. You'll pay about half of what you will at the Courtyard by Marriott when you choose the Budget Inn Motel, so if you don't mind sacrificing a little in the way of amenities and hotel facilities, then it's an excellent way to go. The rooms at the Budget Inn Motel are still more than clean and comfortable enough for most travelers, and among the amenities you'll find in each unit include cable TV and air conditioning. Don't forget to make it a point to pass by Lake Eola Park at least once during your stay at one of the downtown Orlando hotels.
In addition to looking along International Drive and searching downtown, those who are looking for an ideal budget hotel in Orlando can also consider nearby Kissimmee , which offers proximity to some of the best Orlando area theme parks. There are a slew of great choices when it comes to the discount Kissimmee hotels, and you'll be close to some of the best Orlando theme parks when you stay at one. You'll also be close to some of the top theme parks when you book a stay at one of the discount Orlando Airport hotels. There are a bunch of good discount hotels within easy reach of the Orlando Airport, and when you choose to stay at one, you'll also be relatively close to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. You can also consider the Sea World hotels if you want to be in the same general area.
For Disney fans, staying at one of the Disney hotels is often part of the plan. While some of the Disney resorts are quite upscale, there are also a few that are surprisingly cheap. The cheap Disney resorts include the All Star brand of resorts and the Pop Century Resort. There are three All Star Disney resorts, and their respective themes revolve around music, the movies, and sports, so you can choose accordingly. Pop culture is the focus at the Pop Century Resort. If the rates are still a bit too high or the rooms are booked to capacity at one of the discount Disney resorts, you can always look to the Best Western Lakeside, which is under two miles from Walt Disney World's entrance. In addition to some straightforward, comfortable rooms, the Best Western Lakeside also boasts three swimming pools, a number of eateries, a miniature golf course, and an arcade among its facilities. The Comfort Suites Maingate Resort is another Orlando cheap accommodation that offers a lot in the way of facilities, and it's just 1.5 miles from Disney.
The hotels mentioned thus far are just some of the options that will be available to you if it's a budget hotel in Orlando that you're after. In addition to great locations, all offer plenty of bang for your buck, making them popular lodging choices. With all the money that you'll save on rates at the cheap hotels in Orlando, you'll have more left over for shopping, area tours, perhaps a round of golf, and so much more. There's definitely no shortage of things to do in Orlando, so book your budget hotel today and start applying those savings to the many wonderful Orlando attractions.

Hotels in Orlando
When deciding on hotels in Orlando Disney takes center stage, especially for families. But there are many other Orlando vacation rental options in every price range, from posh luxury resorts to intimate Art Deco suites.
The House of Mouse
For families, you can't go wrong at a Disney resort. Their special family-friendly amenities include character meals, kids menus, video arcades, free park transportation, and recreational facilities. For direct monorail connection to Walt Disney World, you'll want to consider Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and Disney's Contemporary Resort.
For a natural touch, families will feel at home with the laid-back Florida Keys charm of Disney's Old Key West Resort. Come face-to-face with nature at Disney's Animal Kingdom, where African savannah animals come up to the balcony for feedings. If your family loves to get wet, you may want to explore the shipwreck-themed Storm Along Bay water park, set between Disney's Beach Club Resort (tel. 407/934-7639 or 407/934-8000) and Disney's Yacht Club Resort. If the outdoors is your family's preferred place for bonding, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground offers secluded camping in the woods.
Kids and parents who are used to the lap of luxury flock to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, a Gilded Age Victorian resort. The five-story lobby features a Chinese Chippendale aviary. Victoria & Albert's, the resort's five-star restaurant, features live big-band music. For a good value, enjoy the French Quarter charm of Disney's Port Orleans Resort, with its unique dragon-mouth waterslide. Prices can't be beat at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, Disney's All-Star Music Resort, Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, and Disney's Pop Century Resort.
Universal Strikes Back
If your kids are crazy for SpongeBob, they'll love the décor of Universal's new $20 million Nickelodeon Family Suites, featuring two lagoons with waterslides, and live theater. Kids get bunk beds with television and videogames, while parents get their own closeable-doored bedroom.
The Portofino Bay Hotel simulates the experience of the Italian coastal village with a private harbor, murals, and musicians, and also provides shuttles and express queues for Universal, SeaWorld, and Wet ‘n Wild. Simulating the opulence of the Memphis original down to the mascot ducks, the Peabody Orlando has impeccable service, orchid and palm gardens, and a near-Olympic sized pool.
The Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort offers the Disney's Extra Magic Hour option and a great location. La Quinta Inn Lakeside is a good non-Disney budget option, with pool, playground, and free park shuttle.
Luxurious Options
Leave the world behind at the Emerald Bay rooms of the Gaylord Palms, featuring a glass atrium and a Canyon Ranch spa. The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort has a grottoed lagoon with a dozen waterfalls, Jack Nicklaus golf courses, and a 45-acre nature walk. Not to be outdone, the Ritz-Carlton Orlando has a 40,000-square-foot spa, and a 24,000-square-foot lazy river pool.
For a romantic getaway, try the boutique rental residences at Courtyard at Lake Lucerne, which includes Art Deco kitchen suites and an 1883 house.
