Looking for the Magic at Disney's Florida Resort

This is actually a rather interesting and informative article. The reports presents a comparison of two contrasting Disney resort rooms, services, and "ambiance": The All-Star Music Value Resort, and then, for something completely different, the concierge club at the Disney's Beach Club Deluxe Resort.

Which one is "better" very much depends on who you are, and what you intend to do when you're there.

Does more than five times the cost of the Disney Beach Club Resort give you that much more Disney bang? Not really; in fact, you're getting less. You could lounge around the Beach Club Resort all day and miss out on the rest of Disney World altogether, which for first-time visitors is the point of being there. Two-bedroom suites at the Beach Resort start at over $1,275 a night. This is definitely an adults-first stay.

We saw happier young faces exploring the oversize visuals anywhere at the All-Star Music Resort. Kids at the Beach Resort only got excited at the pools. My grown-up son and friend quickly forgot their past youthful Disney visits, in favour of the sophisticated and classy Beach Resort. I am glad they are on their own.


I've always said that if you have very young kids, staying at these Deluxe resorts, such as the Grand Floridian, etc., might be a "waste". I think they get a lot more excitement and "eye candy" when they stay at the Value resorts, such as Pop Century. This article just confirmed it.
