Are you planning your next trip to Disney World?
All-Star Resorts
When it comes to that planning, choosing where you’re going to rest your head is crucial. The great thing about Disney World property is that you have a lot of options for where to stay, including hotels for lower budgets. Any way you slice it, you have to weigh the pros and cons carefully. To that end, let’s dive into what might just be the biggest headache you’ll be dealing with if you opt to stay at Disney World’s cheapest resorts — transportation.
The one great thing about planning a trip to Disney World is that you have a lot of options for where to stay on property, including hotels for lower budgets.
All-Star Resorts
We’ve all saved some $$$ by staying at the value resorts, Disney World’s cheapest category of hotels. After all, staying there frees up money to spend on more important things…like FOOD. Whether it’s the All-Star Resorts, or the Pop Century or Art of Animation Resorts, if you just need a hotel room good for resting at night between park visits, Disney’s got you covered. But we’re worried about these hotels, and we’ll tell you why.
HUGE changes are happening at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
The Polynesian Village Resort
Disney is in the process of creating a WHOLE new set of Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas, and we’ve been following the construction of the project since it began. The new Island Tower (that’s the name of the expansion) is set to open later this year, in December 2024. Let’s dive into what will be included with this huge expansion.
Who wants to hop on a plane with us and go to Paris? 🙋

Yep, we suddenly want to go to Disneyland Paris. First, we NEED to see a Disney park covered in SNOW because the photos from that event were PURE MAGIC. Of course, we also wouldn’t mind checking out the food there, too. However, what we REALLY want to do is book a stay at the reopened Disneyland Hotel, which recently got a ROYAL makeover. Now, we’re going to take you on a virtual tour of these princess-worthy rooms.
Disney loves theming things after the state they’re already in (we’re lookin’ at you, Disney California Adventure and the Grand Floridian Hotel).
Grand Californian Hotel Craftsman Bar
And, of course, there’s Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, located in Disneyland Resort. This hotel may not be as popular a choice as the Disneyland Hotel for folks planning trips, but its proximity to Downtown Disney and Disney California Adventure make it a sleeper hit — so we’re taking you on a full room tour!
It’s no secret that a LOT of things are getting more expensive in Disney World.
Grand Floridian Resort
We’ve seen the price of food go up. We’ve seen the price of souvenirs go up. We’ve seen the price of Disney World tickets go up. Recently, we saw the price of Magic Kingdom fireworks cruises increase by 30%. The same can be said for hotel rooms, and that’s something that will continue to get more expensive, but by how much? Well, let’s find out.
We’ve already established that a stay at Disney World’s Star Wars hotel, the Galactic Starcruiser, is certainly NOT cheap, although discounts are now being offered to select visitors.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
We’ve also stressed that this is so much more than JUST a themed hotel stay, with an experience that basically has you roleplaying your own character in an adventure that takes place in a galaxy far, far away. However, you’ll still need to sleep at some point, so you might be curious as to what the rooms are like on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. So we’re going to tell you all about it!
A lot of exciting things are happening in Disney World, especially at Disney World hotels.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
At Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, a new sweets shop and restaurant is on its way. Over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, rooms are getting re-themed. And at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, new Disney Vacation Club villas are being constructed. But what will those villa rooms look like? Well, here’s what we know.
When you plan a trip to Disney World, you have to make a LOT of important decisions.
Art of Animation Resort
You’ll need to decide WHEN to go, but also where to eat, and what your priorities are since it’s impossible to do EVERYTHING in one trip. You’ll also need to think about WHERE to stay and if you’re on a budget, you’re probably looking at Disney World’s value resorts.
