Disney World - The Ultimate Orlando Vacation
If you are looking for the ultimate experience in your Orlando vacation, consider staying at one of the many resorts in and around the Disney theme parks. Orlando is clearly a great family vacation destination in its own right, with or without Disney. Orlando is the heart of a larger metropolitan area that boasts a population of nearly 2 million. Orlando is host to many attractions, including parks, gardens, golf and more. Films and movie stars come alive while youre at the park.
Most people think that Disney World is The Magic Kingdom. This is only one part of Disney World that encompasses several different theme parks as well as resort areas. Disney World is very vast and you have considerable choices when it comes to accommodations in and around Disney World. Some of the places that you might want to stay during your Orlando vacation are as follows:
The Magic Kingdom
The Magic Kingdom has three resorts that are located right within the Magic Kingdom. We all know the Magic Kingdom from the castle that is often depicted on television when you see commercials of Disney World. You can stay at the Contemporary Resort or Polynesian Village, the two original Disney World resorts, or in the newer, Grand Floridian Resort. When you stay at one of these resorts, you are only a short monorail ride away from the Magic Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom
Disney's Animal Kingdom is the newest of the theme parks. If you love nature, you will enjoy your stay at the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge. This resort gives you access to Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park and surrounds an open zoo where animals roam freely. You will be able to see Giraffe, Elephants and other animals right outside your balcony. This is an excellent place to visit if you like animals and has many amenities for any family.
Disney's MGM
There are several hotels that are located in the MGM theme park, including The Dolphin and The Swan, two of the most elegant of all of the Disney World resorts. These hotels do not run cheap, but are the epitome of elegance and may be a great choice for your Orlando vacation. When you stay at one of the Disney resorts, you can get free transportation to and from the theme parks, discounts on theme park tickets and early entry to the parks. This can enable you to get a head start on attractions that you wish to see without waiting in lines.
Disney Village
Disney Village is located just outside the theme parks and offers less expensive accommodations and restaurants but still gives you the perks of staying within Disney World. You can still get free shuttle transportation to the Disney theme parks and free parking. There is a large variety of hotels, many of which are economically priced right for families. There are also dozens of restaurants from which to choose in the Disney Village resort area. This is a resort area that is priced right for families visiting Disney World on a budget.
During your Disney World Orlando vacation, you can choose from these or a host of many other accommodations when staying in and around Disney World.
