Where should I stay/sleep in Walt Disney World?

The first decision that you'll have to make is if you want to stay on-site or off-site. You'll have to consider the following:
·     Budget - Disney hotels are often more expensive
·     Planning - Disney hotels get booked up quickly so you'll need to book in advance
·     Type - Do you want everyone in one room, a suite, or a villa?
·     Amenities - Does the hotel I want have to amenities I want?
·     Transport - Disney hotels include unlimited use of the Walt Disney World Transportation System, shuttles to all parks. Other hotels also offer shuttles.
·     Car - Do I need to pay for a car to get from my hotel to Walt Disney World? Can I risk not having a parking space because I might arrive late?
·     Magic - Disney hotels offer magic all the time but you may prefer not to be so immersed.
·     Breakfast - Many off-site hotels offer free breakfast.
·     Discounts - Some off-site hotels offer discounts to non-Disney attractions.
·     Location - Do I want to get to Disney quickly? Can I get to other parks quickly and easily?
·     Magic Hours - Disney Hotels allow you to get into the park before the general public meaning extra ride time!
·     Service - Disney staff provide excellent service no-matter who you speak to. Other hotels may do just as well, better or nowhere as good.
·     Eating - The Disney dining plan is available to all Disney hotel visitors at a charge.
·     Merchandise - Free delivery of anything you buy straight to your hotel room and you can charge your purchases onto your ‘Keys to the World’.
·     Theming - Amazing Disney theming is everywhere in Walt Disney World hotels.
Then you'll have to decide which hotel to stay in. If you're staying on property, you're in luck as there is a whole section on this website to help you. Offsite visitors may also consider staying in a villa instead of a hotel.
