Choosing Accommodations For Your Orlando Vacation
By: Karyn Kudrna
You've finally decided to take the family on the long awaited
trip to Disney World. Now you have to decide where to stay
while you're there. The options may seem limited, but there
really are more choices than you might think.
Important Points to Consider When Choosing
Accommodations
Before you make your final decision regarding your
accommodations, there are a few factors that should be
taken into consideration. First and formost is your budget.
Obviously, the larger your budget the more options that are
available to you.
You also need to consider number of people in your party. A
family of 4 can usually fit into an average room at one of the
many Disney Resort properties or an off-site hotel quite
comfortably. However, if your party is larger than 4, or
includes several families or a large group travelling together
you will need more space and you may want to consider an
off-site vacation home or resort condo. Another option for
large families is to book 2 or more adjoining rooms at a hotel.
What type of amenities are important to you and your family?
Is privacy and seclusion a high priority for you? Or are you
more concerned with the type of amenities available to you
during your stay? Will you have a car, either your own or a
rental? Or will you need transportation to and from the
parks? Do you plan on spending the majority of your
vacation on Disney property, or are you interested in
spending some time away from the theme parks and
exploring the many other attractions central Florida has to
offer?
The answers to all of these questions will help to make your
choice of accommodations much easier.
The Pros and Cons of On-Site Accommodations
Most first time visitors to the Orlando area choose to stay at
one of the many Walt Disney World Resort Properties. These
properties have long had a reputation for being clean, well
maintained, and very family friendly. The excellent service
provided by the Disney staff is also a big plus. Other
advantages of staying on-site at one of the resort properties
is the use of the resort's transportation system. There is no
need to rent a car if you plan on spending your entire stay at
the Disney theme parks. There is an extensive transportation
system available to guests that will take you anywhere you
want to go within the resort. However, if you think you may
want to venture off-site to some of the other attractions,
restaurants, or shows in the Orlando area then you will need
to find your own transportation.
Your vacation budget should also be carefully considered if
you are planning on staying on-site. The resort
accommodations tend to be more expensive than off-site
alternatives, and rooms are limited. It may be difficult to find
availability if you are planning your trip at the last minute.
The Pros and Cons of Off-Site Accommodations
Many visitors to the Orlando area, especially first time
visitors, are not aware of the many off-site accommodation
options available to them. There are hotels, motels, resorts,
and privately owned condos and vacation pool homes all
within a 10 - 15 minute drive of the parks. All of these are
viable alternatives to staying within the Walt Disney World
Resort.
Choosing an off-site hotel or motel can be a good alternative
to on-site accoommodations. Many offer free shuttles to and
from the theme parks and other popular area attractions.
This can be very convenient and can also save you from
paying daily parking fees. However, shuttle times can be
limiting and may not fit your party's schedule. On the plus
side, many guests enjoy being able to "escape" the Disney
atmosphere at the end of a long day. On the other hand, the
quality of off-site hotels and motels can vary greatly and is
often inconsistant, unlike the resort properties with their high
standards of excellence.
Another accommodation option that has been growing
steadily in popularity, especially among U.S. visitors to the
Orlando area are privately owned vacation homes. These
homes can be booked through one of the many management
companies in the Orlando area, or even through a travel
agent.
A vacation home offers guests comfort, convenience, and
privacy. Often, large families or groups find it more cost
effective to rent a larger vacation home rather than book 2 or
more hotels rooms. Vacation homes also offer the
opportunity to save money on dining out, as each home
comes with a fully equipped kitchen that allows guests to
prepare some, or all of their own meals during their stay.
Many guests also appreciate the privacy that a vacation
home provides.
Some vacation homes are located in resort communities and
offer guests the use of all the resort amenities such as
swimming pools, fitness centers, tennis courts, and game
rooms. If these amenities are important to you, be sure to
confirm that the home you are reserving is located in one of
these resort communities. If it is not, you will still have the use
of your own private swimming pool but will miss out on the
other amenities.
