Disney World--Where To Stay

Of course there a MANY lodging options at Disney World. Where you stay can depend on price and the time of year of your visit. Here are the places we have stayed recently and a few things about each one!

Animal Kingdom Lodge 
* Savanna View rooms are amazing!  Just walk out to your balcony to see the animals!
* Great on-site restaurants (we really love Boma....great breakfast buffet!)
* Good pool
* Small rooms
* Not within walking distance of any parks and can feel far out of the way

Beach Club Resort
* 5-10 minute walk to Epcot, can take boat to Hollywood Studios
* Awesome pool! Don't waste a cold month stay here.....go when it's warm and plan a pool day for sure!

Boardwalk Inn and Villas
* 10-15 walk to Epcot, can take boat or walk to Hollywood Studios
* Rooms with views of Epcot and Hollywood Studios
* Boardwalk with restaurants and shops is a nice place to walk around

Old Key West Resort

I love them all for different reasons, so it would be really difficult to pick a favorite! Think about what you want to do on your trip and where you want to go, to help narrow down your choices.......you can't go wrong!
