Me and the wife going to book our 5 day Disney World trip this week. I got a 6 and 3 year old. Is anyone familiar with those all star resorts. Look like they’re the cheaper option, but are they really bad?
Depends on what you’re looking for. If you simply want a place on-site to lay your head, you should be good. If you want space to spread out and relax and more amenities, look elsewhere. For what it’s worth though, one of them is under renovation and the new rooms look really, really good (and clean!!). Maybe browse the disboard forums to find out which resort has the updated rooms.
After booking at several DW resorts, I finally said the hell with Disney and booked 7 nights in a deluxe suite at the Waldorf Astoria (inside the Disney gates) for less than all of those places, INCLUDING 5-day base tickets. If you have a Costco membership and are open to staying in a non-Disney hotel, check out costcotravel.com for some decent package deals. Kinda stinks to not be in the Disney bubble, but I’m also thinking it may be a good thing. Not sure I could handle Disney everything for 7 days straight.
