Why Stay at a Disney World Resort
There are many options when deciding where to stay when visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. When my husband and I spent a weekend at Disney World, we decided staying at a resort on the Disney property was the best option, mainly because of the transportation. Disney has a convenient (and free) bus service to and from the Orlando International Airport, Disney Parks and Disney Springs. Having our hotel so close to the Disney Parks and with the convenient transportation allowed us more time at the parks and less time and money traveling each day.
Of course, another reason we decided to stay at a Disney Resort was to experience the full Disney charm throughout our entire vacation. We were only in Orlando for 2 full days, so that meant wanting to get our fill of Disney the whole time we were there.
There are numerous options to choose from when looking to stay on a Disney property from a campground, to value resorts, to moderate resorts, deluxe villas and luxury hotels. Ultimately, we chose Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
- Moderate resort hotel option
- Close proximity to the Parks (Epcot and Magic Kingdom) that we were going to go to as well as Disney Springs and the Boardwalk
- A fun “warm weather themed” resort that I was needing after some cold winter months in Colorado!
Even though we were at Magic Kingdom and Epcot for two full days, we were able to explore and enjoy the Caribbean Beach Resort on the two half days we had bookending our trip. If you’re going to Disney World, I would highly recommend staying on a Disney property to fully experience the Disney charm!

I 100% agree with this! We went to Disney World for the first time in September 2018 and took our three-year old daughter. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and absolutely loved it! The transportation to the parks was great, even though Animal Kingdom Lodge is a bit further away (but I loved the secluded aspect of it). We also got to see giraffes and other animals from our balcony at the Lodge.
I would definitely return and ALWAYS stay on Disney property!
I have heard such great things about the Animal Kingdom Lodge! Basically your own safari in the USA. I agree, staying on Disney property especially for the transportation aspect makes things so much easier.
Staying at a Disney World resort is a great option for visitors who want to maximize their time at the parks while enjoying the full Disney experience. In addition to the convenient transportation to and from the parks and airport, the variety of resort options allows visitors to choose the perfect fit for their budget and style. The Caribbean Beach Resort, as mentioned in the article, is a great moderate option with a fun, tropical theme and close proximity to popular attractions.
