Disney World Do's and Don'ts

Do: Spring for a “deluxe” resort

Disney has eight “deluxe” resorts, such as Disney’s Polynesian Resort, if you’re after convenience and comfort. They’re fancifully designed, well-situated, and, like all on-campus hotels, offer guests early entrée to a different park each day, free parking, and sometimes free airport shuttles. Less expensive, if a bit less thrilling: Starwood’s Dolphin, Starwood’s Swan, and a Hilton—three of the better non-Disney-owned hotels that have sprouted right on Disney’s turf.
