Staying With the Mouse

Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, Beach Club Villas, Board-Walk Villas, Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, Old Key West and the Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Great for families and groups, the HAFH collection features Disney's largest units, which have kitchens or kitchenettes and (in many cases) multiple bedrooms; lodging includes condos, cabins, multilevel villas and cottages. The 784 campsites at Fort Wilderness get high marks from the under-the-sky set.

RESORT | Downtown Disney Resort

Rates vary widely, but $100-plus a night isn't uncommon.

BEST FOR . . .

Mile hounds and affinity club members who want to be on Disney property and accumuluate points.

HOTELS

Hilton, Holiday Inn, Royal Plaza, Doubletree Guest Suites, Best Western Lake Buena Vista, Wyndham Palace, Grosvenor.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Often cheaper than their Disney counterparts, these large but relatively flair-free hotels are clumped on the resort's edge near Downtown Disney. You can use Disney buses to shuttle around, but overall fewer WDW amenities apply (one exception: Hilton guests can get into the parks earlier). Several hotels back up to I-4, so ask for a room without an asphalt view.
