Disney Hotel Deals | Disney Cheap Hotels

Disney World is commonly referred to as the "Happiest Place on Earth," but many families and individuals are reluctant to vacation there because it has a reputation for being expensive. With the costs of entrance fees, meals, airfare, transportation, and lodging, you can easily spend several hundreds of dollars per day on a trip to Disney World. However, by planning your trip well in advance and searching for the best Disney hotel deals, you can dramatically reduce costs.

There's no better way to spread a dollar than by visiting Disney in January, right after the kids go back to school, and the holiday vacationers have packed their bags. Mild temperatures, shorter lines, and cheap accommodations are just a few pleasures you'll experience. But how much cheaper are we talking? For starters, a water view room at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort normally runs at $210 per night in June or July, but only costs $174 during most weekdays in January. Multi-bedroom vacation rentals located around Disney World can charge up to $250 during prime travel times, like spring break, but rates drop below $200 in January. Early February, September and November are also great times to find cheap travel deals to Disney. Value rooms start as low as $82 per night during the low season.

If you want to stay close to Mickey, the best prices on accommodations inside the park can be found at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort, and Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Off of Disney property, you’ll find the best Disney deals at the Fairfield Inn International Drive, Best Western Lakeside, and Holiday Inn Main Gate East. Getting to the park is as easy as taking the complimentary shuttle services offered by most area hotels.

A tip about traveling to Disney: Stay flexible. Hotel rates can fluctuate dramatically from month to month, so it’s worth choosing from 3-4 different travel dates. Go to several travel websites to research and compare prices. You can save hundreds of dollars by shopping around.
