Four categories: Value, Moderate, Deluxe and Disney Vacation Club Villa’s.
Value resorts (3-star) are for the budget minded (least expensive) with smaller room accommodations, double beds and less amenities than the other properties. Value resorts have food courts, pizza delivery and no on-site restaurants. Value resorts utilize one central bus stop for all guests.
Moderate (4-star) resorts are priced as suggested. The rooms and bathrooms are a little bigger, all with queen beds, a full service restaurant and room service. Moderate resorts utilize several bus stop for all guests, making the walk to the bus stop easier and quicker for everyone.
Deluxe (5-star) resorts offer several full service restaurants, beach access, on site recreation, child care, larger rooms and bathrooms, queen or king size beds as well as extra transportation options (monorail, boat, or walk to park) which may make it easier when traveling with small children, the elderly, guests with disabilities or anyone that wants to return to a resort easily and quickly.
Villas (5-star) offer what the deluxe resorts offer and more: full kitchens, living rooms, along with several bed and bath options (studio, one, two, or three bedrooms) for a home away from home feel.
PARK TRANSPORTATION: All the resorts have complimentary bus transportation to the parks. From a deluxe, you can get to the theme parks by bus just like the other properties, but additionally you have the options of monorail and or boat. Some close enough to walk.

DINING PLAN: The Disney Dining Plan is Currently Unavailable
Quick Service Plan gives each person in the party two quick/counter service meals per night stayed (similar to a value meal at a fast food restaurant), two snacks per day, and a resort refillable beverage mug.
Disney Dining Plus Plan is the next and most popular plan. Each person gets a counter/quick service meal per night stayed, one table service meal per night stayed (character meals are included in the options), and two snacks per night stayed.
Deluxe Dining plan gives you 3 meals per night stayed, table or quick service and 2 snacks per night stayed.
THE DISNEY DINING PLAN is based on per person per night stayed and entitles you to each of the following:
snack credit, counter credit and a table service credit. Counter AND Table credits each give you a NON ALCOHOLIC beverage (not alcoholic) and entree of your choice. In addition, the Table Service credit provides a dessert. The dining credits are just that, they are allocated per night stayed, but can be used at your discretion through out your trip. For example, if you want to eat ALL of your snacks in one day, you can!! All of the plans come with an unlimited resort refillable mug for fountain beverages. The basic dining plan plus as mentioned is the most popular and affordable. Typically guests use the snack for a quick breakfast (like a bagel), the counter for lunch and the table service for a nice full service restaurant meal at dinner time. The dining credits are yours to use any way you like at any time you like. They are accrued for the length of stay as opposed to daily. Premium and Platinum plans are available as well.
Disney Vacation Tips
WHEN TO GO:
Best times (based on attendance): WHILE SCHOOL IS OPEN. Lots of parents don’t like to take their kids out of school, so if school is in session, Disney is quiet. Other times: Any time in January, the first few weeks of February (before Presidents Week), the first few weeks of March or April (Stay away from Easter), May, the last week of August, the months of September and October. November up until Thanksgiving, and the first few weeks of December.
Times to avoid (based on attendance): (Crowds are at peak levels during these times and prices will be at their highest.) President’s Day week, spring break, Easter week, July, especially 4th of July week, Thanksgiving week, and the week before Christmas through January 2nd.
LENGTH OF STAY: You can spend a day at Disney or a month. The recommend time is 1 full week. With 4 major theme parks, 2 water parks; and a dining, entertainment and shopping district (Downtown Disney), there is so much to see and do. When taking such a great, maybe once in a while trip, you don’t want to hurry yourselves or feel like you missed something. The longer you are there, the more leisurely you can see the parks and the less rushed you feel. With Disney park tickets, you pay less per day with each extra day you stay. If you want to take a day to enjoy other parks like, Sea World or Universal, then you definitely need to think about taking at least 7 nights or more.
WHERE TO STAY:
Definitely stay at a Disney resort. Disney offers many “perks” to guests staying on site. Some of those perks include the following: complimentary transportation to and from the airport as well as the parks (no need to rent a car), availability of a discounted dining plan, advanced reservations for ride selections and complimentary “Magic Bands”, special park hours for resort guests only, package delivery, several resort categories fitting every budget, etc. You are immersed in the “Magic”. Not to mention, it’s nice to be able to go back to the resort quickly and easily.

DISNEY AND ME (A note from Mary DeBello, Endless Travel, LLC Owner):
My love for Disney started as a child. My first trip was back in the early 70’s when Disney only had one theme park, the Magic Kingdom. Over the years I took several family trips until I was old enough to travel on my own with friends. In 1995 I took my first trip with my husband. We visited at least 3 times before we had children. When I started to take my girls (now 22 and 18), I saw Disney World in a whole new way – through the eyes of a child. My kids were there as early as 9 months old. Do they remember it? No, of course they don’t, but I remember them and some of those early trips are my favorite memories with my kids. My oldest daughter has been 20+ times. As they age, each trip is different. We always experience new memories, but we also stick with our traditional “magical moments”. Disney World has changed over the years, but my love for it has not. I personally try to make a trip there at least 3 to 4 times a year! Every day, I read blogs and newsletters to all of the many Disney informational outlets that I subscribe to so that I am always up to date with changes, refurbishments, and important announcements. I am a 15-time graduate of the “Disney College of Knowledge” and attend on site Travel Agent Familiarization programs annually sponsored by Disney Destinations as well as an annual conference for “Authorized Disney Vacation Planners”. I know the parks inside and out, dined in most of the restaurants and stayed in just about every resort. I encourage you to rely on my personal experiences, knowledge of and passion for Disney to allow me to plan you the most memorable trip ever!!

GOING BACK – May 2023!!
