Whereas Disneyland has three hotels, Disney World has more than 25, and the ones I’ve stayed at have been incredible.
I’ve been fortunate enough to stay at three: the Polynesian Resort, the Grand Floridian, and the Contemporary — and they were all so great in their own ways.
In January 2023, for example, I stayed in a newly renovated room at the Grand Floridian, and it was absolutely beautiful, with artwork of Cinderella, Tiana, Mulan, Jasmine, and Belle adorning the walls.
I got a 15% discount for a four-night stay — I worked at WABC-TV, so I received the discount as a castmember perk — but prices typically range from $2,800 to over $10,000 for a four-day stay, depending on the season, room type, and view. Admittedly, for many families, this is not an affordable option.
When I wasn’t a cast member, I stayed at the Contemporary Resort, which was cheaper than the Grand Floridian. The Contemporary is a great hotel too; not only does it have a monorail inside, Chef Mickey’s, but it is also close to Magic Kingdom, just like the Grand Floridian.
