Cheap Hotels on Disney Property
A trip to Walt Disney World Resorts is not a cheap vacation and the cost of hotel accommodations can take up the majority of one's travel budget. The convenience of staying on Disney property and being close to all of the magic can sometimes outweigh the added cost of premiere accommodations. There are, however, a few resorts on Disney property that do offer guests nightly rates of less than $100 and still provide all of the benefits and convenience of staying on Disney property.
Disney Value Resorts
Resorts owned and operated by Walt Disney World are categorized in four different levels. They are value, moderate, luxury and Vacation Club Villas. The value resorts are the cheapest Disney level to stay at and still offer all of the Disney guest benefits. As of October 2010, the average cost to stay at a Disney Value Resort was $82 per night. When making your reservation, ask about discounts for AAA membership and Florida residency.
Some benefits of staying at a Disney Value Resort include use of Disney transportation, the option of using the Disney Dining Plan and access to Extra Magic Hours at theme parks.
Disney value resorts include Disney's All-Star Resorts and Disney's Pop Century Resort. Each resort offers a quick-service restaurant, arcade and swimming pool.
