Did you know that Disney World has 23 themed hotels on property? They are broken up into 3 different categories: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe.

Today I am going to share some insights about the value resorts. Starting with reasons to stay at the value resorts (admittedly—mostly money and fun). They are all themed very differenly, and to some may seem over the top, but they do that for the kids! All the value resorts are more family oriented than others. The value resorts are Disney’s lowest-priced resorts. There are five value resorts at Walt Disney—Pop Century, Art of Animation, All-Star Movies, All-Star Sports, and All-Star Music

Let’s start with the All Star Resorts, the All-Stars are sometimes referred to singularly as “All-Star Resort” because they are all a part of one giant physical campus. The only amenity they share, though, is a single bus route.

*All-Star Movies resort is themed to different Disney movies. The themes are Toy Story, Fantasia, 101-Dalmatians, Mighty Ducks, and The Love Bug. Movies has a choice between two different rooms, standard and preferred. Preferred rooms are a little more expensive per night, but you will be closer to the main pool, busses, and food court. Each room either has 2 queens or 1 king and sleeps up to 4.

Dining:
-World Premiere Food Court, food court
-Silver Screen Spirits Pool Bar, pool bar

Recreation:
-2 Outdoor pools, Fantasia Pool & Duck Pond Pool
-Feature Pool has a Fantasia theme

There are 3 different type of rooms in this resort, like Movies, there are standard, preferred, and also family suites. Family suites can sleep up to 6, unlike the standard and preferred that sleeps up to 4.

The resort features 1,120 family suites themed around such Disney animated classics as Finding Nemo, Cars and The Lion King. The Little Mermaid building houses an additional 864 standard guest rooms. Art of Animation offers two methods of transportation, Disney Busses and the Skyliner. The Skyliner is a ride in itself and can get you to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

Today we say goodbye to one of Magic Kingdoms staple rides, Splash Mountain.

Splash Mountain had an opening date on October 2, 1992.

Splash Mountain is a log flume at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, and Magic Kingdom (WDW), based on the animated sequences of the 1946 Disney film Song of the South. Although there are variations in the story and features between the three locations, each installation begins with a peaceful outdoor float-through that leads to indoor dark ride segments, with a climactic steep drop into a "briar patch" followed by an indoor finale.

In June of 2020 it was announced that the US versions of the ride would be receiving a new theme based on Disney’s princess and the frog. The new ride will be titled Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and it is scheduled to open in late 2024.

This ride is not a goodbye, but see you later with a new theme.

I am grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had to ride and am excited for it to reopen!

What is Disney Springs?

Disney Springs is Walt Disney World’s shopping, dining, and entertainment district, and no trip to the Orlando area is complete without visiting. While many guests do tons of research about the four main Disney theme parks–Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom–they spend less time preparing for their time in Disney Springs. It has over 100 stores, more than 50 places to grab a bite or a beverage, live entertainment, and more Disney magic. A plus is that it is free to get into Disney Springs!

Like so much on Disney World’s property, Disney Springs has a distinct theme, though it is subtler than the parks and some of the resorts. Disney Imagineers designed it to resemble old oceanside towns and cities in the Sunshine State, such as St. Augustine and Tampa.

You are able to get to Disney Springs by driving and parking in one of the two garages or taking Disney Transportation, bus or boat.

There are so many unique stores in Disney Springs, that you’re sure to find something you love. Some people can’t get enough of the holiday season. If that’s you, visit Disney’s Days of Christmas in the Marketplace. You can find decorations, ornaments, and everything Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and more.

Another family favorite is Basin, where you can mix and make your own bath bombs. Your kids might be a little reluctant, but they’ll quickly be pulled into the personalized fun.

Disney is wonderful about ensuring that all their guests can have a great time regardless of their preferences. This is true even at Disney Springs, where they’ve taken care of those of us who don’t particularly enjoy shopping.

There’s so much for families to do at Disney Springs. Some classic activities, such as Splitsville Luxury Lanes, are for bowling, games, and food. There’s also a movie theater with more than 20 screens to catch the latest flick.

If you want to do something different, take your family up in the hot air balloon, AeroPhile. You can get a spectacular view of the entire property and all of central Florida, and it’s enclosed and entirely safe for kids. You can also snag tickets for the new Cirque du Soleil show, “Drawn to Life,” which brings to life the art of Disney animation in a way you’ve never experienced before.

Dining at Disney Springs is much like dining in the parks, most sit down restaurants need a reservation. My suggestion would be to explore your options before your trip, narrow it down to a few places you would like to go eat, and see what reservations are available.

Disney Springs is a must do when visiting Walt Disney World. Most people spend their off-days there since you can come and go as you please. There are many unique shops where you can get your Disney merchandise that you won't find in the parks! A great perk is you are able to send what you buy to your resort so you don't have to haul all of your bags around.
