Where To Stay At Disney World

Choosing where to stay at Disney World is one of the most important parts of vacation planning if you're headed to the parks with your family. As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, the Lake Buena Vista and Orlando area offer endless accommodation options for Disney World guests. Despite all of the choices, one of the first decisions you must make is whether to stay on property at one of Disney World’s resorts or off property somewhere else in the area. 

This episode marks the start of our Disney World Vacation Planning Series. It’s also the first time I’ve recorded a podcast episode somewhere other than my home office. That’s right! I’m recording the first episodes of this series from my hotel at The Walt Disney World Swan Resort. 

In this episode, we tackle the question of which is better: Staying on property at a Walt Disney World Resort or staying off property? We look at each option's pros and cons to help you plan your next Disney World vacation. 

In This Episode, You'll Learn: 

• The perks of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort

• The types of accommodations available outside of the Disney bubble

• What Disney Good Neighbor hotels are 

• The hidden costs of staying off property
