Figuring Out Transportation at Disney World

One of the erroneous assumptions I always made growing up was thinking that Disney World worked just like the small local amusement parks I’d been to.

Choosing Non-Disney Accommodation

Staying at one of the Disney hotels will immerse you fully in the Disney experience, but unfortunately, the expense of this will put it outside of the budget of those with limited finance to spend on a room they don’t intend to spend much time in. There are however many other types of accommodation within the area that are far lower in cost and although perhaps not as luxurious as the Disney ones, they do provide you with a clean room in which to recharge your batteries overnight.
