Disney’s Value resorts typically offer the best bang for the buck when it comes to price and guests who are only looking for a place to crash after a long day at the parks. The over-the-top décor appeals mostly to children, but also to adults who are really into the specific themes. Value resorts, while being inexpensive, still benefit from Disney quality. The rooms and grounds are consistently clean and well maintained. The newer Art of Animation resort adds well-needed two room family suites to the mix.
