Value Resorts

Updated: May 8, 2023

While they may be called value, you should not expect a budget motel when you arrive at a Disney Value Resort. You may not find the same lavish dining and grand entrance halls of the Deluxe Resorts, the Value Resorts provide a comfortable, clean, and fun place to call home while visiting the parks.

Disney’s value resorts are just that, they offer the best value to guests who want to stay on property but also have a tight budget. At first glance these resorts will look a bit motel-eque with multi-story boxy buildings, most with outside hallways. However each has that disney flair with over the top theming, updated rooms that make brilliant use of space, fun pools, large food courts with a variety of dining choices, and of course the Disney customer service. Value resorts do have the smallest rooms, and the least amount of amenities, but for a family with kids or someone looking to save some money on the room, these are great options.

Best for

Families with young kids will enjoy the cartoon-like theming of these hotels. Running into a life sized Lightning McQueen, or a giant Woody will bring some extra fun to their Disney day.
Families who aim to spend the majority of their time in the parks, who view a hotel room as just a place to sleep and just need the basic amenities.
Larger than standard groups looking for suites to stay in that don’t cost $1000/night.
