Any tips on visiting Disney World in Florida?  | |  My family and I are going to Disney World, Florida in November with my sisters and their families. They both are staying at Disney owned hotels inside the park. I'm still trying to figure out what the best deal is and how to get it.
I've looked at staying at Disney owned hotels in the park and the lowest priced hotel I liked was the Port Orleans French Quarter.
Here are the results so far of my research:
For a 5 night stay with a 4 day park hopper pass, the Port Orleans French Quarter will cost $2052.81 for a family of four. That's a standard room.
The Royal Plaza premier tower room and 4 day park hopper pass is $1767.51. The room is large (419 sq ft).
The Doubletree 2 double bed suite with refrigerator & microwave is $1901.89.
Just purchasing the tickets is $1007.51. This price includes tax. That's for 4 days with the park hopper option. I haven't done any searching to see if I can buy tickets outside of Disney for less, mainly because I don't want to risk being scammed.
I'm still not sure on the hotel situation though. In the 80's, I stayed at the Hilton, which isn't Disney owned but is on the Disney property. We took a shuttle bus to the park and there wasn't a problem at all.
The Royal Plaza looks more luxurious, which appeals to me. Bath & Body Works products in the bathroom, a garden tub! Floor to ceiling windows with views of the park. The hotel rooms have recently been remodeled.
The Doubletree is a suite, which means the kids can watch their show while we watch ours. Plus it has a microwave and a refrigerator. That's pretty important in order to keep bottled water & snacks for the kids. And if we're going to spend 5 days & 4 nights all day and all night together, well we're going to need the 2 rooms to blow off any steam.
So does anyone have any tips, any suggestions, care to share your experiences? Thanks!

| rowantree (315) | 11 months ago | It's getting closer - we go at the end of October. Wow you wouldn't believe how much they want for a room at the Polynesian now. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is really expensive. We ended up renting a really nice house 10 minutes away from the park. My ex & his wife just took my daughter in July and so we rented from the same company that they did - they had an absolute blast and the house was great. | |

I recommend staying on Disney property whenever possible. It's worth it for the free transportation alone!
If you want to stay on property, but want something cheaper than French Quarter, they also have Value resorts (Pop Century, the All Stars), which are great since you'll only be there for such a short time. The All Stars also have family suites.

| rowantree (315) | 10 months ago | Thanks for all the great tips! I've heard the fireworks/laser show at Epcot is so much better than the Magic Kingdom's. We're leaving this Sunday and the kids are really excited. | |
