Which Disney World resort should you stay at?
Choose by tier first, then by transportation and the park you will visit most. Skyliner resorts like Pop Century and Caribbean Beach suit EPCOT and Hollywood Studios days, and monorail resorts like Contemporary and Polynesian suit Magic Kingdom.
Reported nightly price ranges are a guide only and change by date: roughly $150 or more for value, $290 to $475 for moderate and $500 to $900 or more for deluxe.
Value resorts
- Pop Century: Skyliner to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Refurbished rooms and a calmer feel than the All-Stars.
- Art of Animation: Skyliner access, large themed sculptures for young children, and family suites that sleep up to six.
- All-Star Movies, Music and Sports: the lowest prices, bus-only, with smaller rooms. Best if you will spend most of the day in the parks.
Moderate resorts
- Caribbean Beach: the Skyliner hub for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, with a pirate-themed pool.
- Coronado Springs: bus-only, with a more upscale convention-style feel and a newer tower. Good for teens and adults.
- Port Orleans (French Quarter and Riverside): boat service to Disney Springs and a quieter, themed setting.
Deluxe resorts
- Contemporary: the monorail runs through the building, and Magic Kingdom is about a ten-minute walk.
- Polynesian Village: monorail, walkway and boat to Magic Kingdom, with tropical theming and fireworks views.
- Grand Floridian: monorail and walking access, the largest standard rooms and a spa. Suits special occasions.
- Beach Club: walking distance to EPCOT's International Gateway and boat access to Hollywood Studios, with Stormalong Bay, a widely praised pool complex.
- Animal Kingdom Lodge: bus transportation and savanna views. Suits animal lovers.
