Are Disney World Hotels Your Best Hotel Option?

If you and your family are traveling to Orlando, Florida for your Walt Disney World vacation and you are planning on staying at a hotel near Disney World, you have a few things to take into consideration before booking your hotel.

One of the most important things that you have to decide is if you are going to stay on the Disney World resort grounds or if you just want to stay "close enough" to Disney so that it is still a 'hop skip and jump away.'

Most people do not realize that Disney over charges for the hotels simply because the own them. The economical hotels generally fall in the two star category and leave much to be desired and they cost more than three and four star hotels like the Best Western Disney and the Radisson Worldgate Resort.

Both the Best Western Disney and the Radisson Worldgate Resort are located just minutes fro the Disney parks and they are both much nicer hotels to stay at. They also offer free shuttle services to all of the Walt Disney World parks.

So, when you are deciding where to stay for your Disney vacation, be sure to check out other options besides they Disney owned and operated hotels because they are overpriced and some of them leave much to be desired.

Disney World Vacation and Rainy Days

If you are coming to Orlando, Florida for your family vacation, you probably think of Florida as always being hot and sunny. After all, Florida is called the "Sunshine State." But is does rain here in Orlando, but you do not have to allow that to put a damper on your family vacation.

If you were planning on going to one of the Disney Parks (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot Center, or Animal Kingdom) and it is raining too heavy, you should try Disney Quest which is located in Downtown Disney. You do not need a ticket to get into Downtown Disney but each person will need to get into Disney Quest. Disney Quest is the ultimate interactive indoor arcade and it's fun for the whole family. At Disney Quest you can build an entire virtual roller coaster and then, after you design it, you get to ride it.

Once the family gets hungry, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from in Downtown Disney. Downtown Disney also has an indoor movie theater and is home of Cirque Du Soleil's "La Nouba" which is entertainment like you have never seen it.

So, if the rain starts to poor on your Orlando vacation, don't let that spoil the fun at Disney because there is still plenty that your family can do.
