Disney World Accommodations

Choosing accommodations in WDW is one of your most important decisions. You can choose to stay within the grounds of WDW (referred to as "on-site" accommodations) or elsewhere in the Orlando area (referred to as "off-site" accommodations).

If you decide to stay on-site, you should know that WDW refers to its hotels as "resorts" and has four categories of "on-site" accommodations: Value resorts, Moderate resorts, Deluxe resorts, and Home-Away-From-Home resorts. Value, Moderate, and Deluxe resorts are typical hotels and their categories reflect their pricing. Home-Away-From-Home resorts--often referred to as "villas"--double as Disney's "vacation ownership," or timeshare, properties. You're welcome to book a stay in a villa even if you're not a member of their timeshare program--Disney Vacation Club.
