Five ways to stay
close to the magic.

The five Value Resort hotels share a playful spirit, but transportation, suite layouts, room location and walking distance make them very different choices. Use each profile to see where it sits, how it moves and what it does best.

Make the practical stay work harder

Value is more than price.
Room location matters.

Transportation, walking distance and the amount of resort time can change which Value Resort feels easiest.

01

Compare transportation

Skyliner access can be valuable for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios days; other resorts rely on buses.

02

Price the preferred room

Paying more for a shorter walk may matter with strollers, mobility needs or late park nights.

03

Know the room footprint

Value rooms are efficient. Packing, stroller storage and bedtime routines deserve a little planning.

04

Use the bright personality

Bold theming and large icons can be a highlight for children, not simply a tradeoff for a lower rate.

The practical stay can still feel magical
