MONDAY April 1, 2024
By Adam Ihucha
The Tranquility News Correspondent, Tanzania
As the sun-kissed plains of Arusha, Tanzania, prepare for welcoming the world, local tour operators are fine-tuning their tourism packages.
Why? Because the stakes are high—the top travel agents from across the globe are converging for the inaugural International Tourism Summit 2024.
From May 20 to 23, 2024, the exquisite Gran Melia Hotel in the heart of Arusha City will host this momentous event.
Picture it: 100 influential travel agents, each a gatekeeper to wanderlust, gathering under one roof.
This is why the buzz is palpable, and anticipation hangs in the air.
A Symphony of Opportunities
Organised by the local dynamic duo of African Queen Adventures and Rethinking Tourism Africa (RTA), this summit convened by the International Ecotourism Society, is not just another industry gathering, rather it is a symphony of business possibilities.
Hundreds of local tour operators are enrolling for the B2B exhibition, eager to forge connections with these seasoned professionals.
The Tanzanian Tapestry
Arusha, the Tanzania’s majestic safari capital, provides the perfect backdrop. Against this canvas, the convergence promises an immersive experience—one that will linger in memories. Local tour operators and hotels have secured their spaces, ready to showcase their services and products.
The top 100 global travel agents will witness Tanzania’s untamed wilderness, engage with local communities, and marvel at its breathtaking landscapes.
A Visionary Partnership
Ms Alice Manupa, the CEO of African Queen Adventures, co-hosts this historic summit. For her, it is more than an event—it is a commitment to President Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan’s vision of revitalising Tanzanian tourism.
“As travel agents explore our pristine landscapes, they’ll carry the essence of this extraordinary land with them,” Ms Manupa noted.
A Trailblasing Introduction
The African Queen Adventures’ esteemed business partner, Mr Murtaza Kalender, the Founder and CEO of TravelShop Turkey & Vice President of the International Ecotourism Society, deserves applause.
His decision to bring the summit to Africa—specifically Tanzania—opens new horizons.
“This is our chance to introduce a magnificent, undiscovered destination to tourism professionals worldwide,” Mr Murtaza explained.
The International Tourism Summit Africa 2024 is not just about boardrooms and handshakes. The ITSA will orchestrate an extraordinary familiarisation (fam) trip.
“Imagine the top agents exploring our natural national parks, encountering diverse wildlife, and falling in love with Tanzania’s soul-stirring beauty,” Ms Manupa said.
A Monumental Occasion
Mr Sirili Akko, the CEO of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), echoes their excitement.
“The arrival of the top 100 global travel agents is monumental. It signals their confidence in our nation—a premier destination for travel and adventure,” Mr Akko said.
“As the B2B interactions unfold, local tour companies stand to gain. These doors swing wide open, bridging continents and creating lasting partnerships,” Ms Edna Foya, the RTA Director, said.
As it stands now, Arusha, with its sunsets and savannas, becomes more than a city—it is a gateway to dreamsΩ

The difference between this romantic event and a conventional destination wedding lies in the fact that this “runaway” emphasizes the importance of the union, and the meaning it has for the couple, since they are the only people who will enjoy it, unless they bring some friends and close relatives.
However, a more traditional wedding involves inviting a large number of guests and the planning turns out to be more complicated, elevating also the cost of the event.
Elopements are the new trend
The truth is that lately there have been an increase in the request of this type of celebrations. Increasingly more couples prefer an intimate and private wedding choosing exclusive destinations that can offer a wide range of options, not only for the elopement celebration and shooting but to experience the perfect honeymoon.
The searching statistics on Pinterest tells us the demand the elopements are having, a 128% increase is a sign that couples are looking for more intimate weddings instead of a big celebration.
You do not need to sacrifice luxury
When you decide to celebrate your marriage just the two of you and maybe a couple of family members or friends, does not imply that you have to sacrifice excellence and premium services. You will not have to buy expensive flower arrangements for the guests tables but instead you will spend it on your special day an honeymoon.
Our customers are always looking for exclusive romantic experiences and to celebrate an elopement in Canary Islands will come with a selection of the best wedding photographers either local or international, the best hair and make-up artists, 5 star Michelin chefs or other exquisite gastronomy, incredible locations both for the ceremony, the dinner and the party, if you need a gorgeous bridal dress or groom tuxedos, we offer the best Canarian and worldwide famous designers: and of course the most exclusive hotels or luxury villas to enjoy your stay and honeymoon.
Why you should celebrate an elopement?
Among Spanish couples elopements are not common, Spaniards are more traditional. Others do not want to annoy their families and friends “running away” to get married without them. But there is no doubt that foreign couples do like this option. Those who choose to come to a destination like Canary Islands can be sure that they are going to discover magnificient locations and enjoy sublime experiences.
Large part of the wedding budget goes to their guest’s experience: the food, the invitations, entertainment and music etc. A luxury elopement on the other hand allows you to spend maybe not all that money, but a good amount on you and your future wife or husband.
Though this kind of celebration is not for everyone, it enables you to concentrate on your partner and avoid being worried about all the stressful moments that a larger and conventional wedding would imply, where you have to please everyone and make sure that your guests are having fun.
Your dreamed elopement in Tenerife
Canary Islands are famous for their exotic beauty, their forests, mountains, volcanoes, black sand beaches or yellow sand beaches similar to the Caribbean, you can enjoy one of the best climates in the world, in December or January you could even have an outdoor wedding ceremony.
Though it is true that we receive millions of tourist every year that stay at the best resorts, Tenerife, the largest of all the seven islands, offers a wide range of settings and exclusive experiences that most people have not discovered yet. Let us show you a sneak peek of the most beautiful places that you will discover here if you decide to celebrate your destination elopement.
A luxury stay
Tenerife is one of the few places in the world that is home to a great quantity of five star hotels within a small territory. You can stay at some of the most international renowned luxury hotels like Bahía del Duque https://thetaishotels.com/awards-for-excellence-2019-conde-nast-johansens/, that has some exclusive areas like “Casas Ducales” and “The Villas”.
The Ritz Carlton flagship in Tenerife is Ritz Carlton Abama that can be proud of having two prestigious restaurants like the M.B. and Kabuki, with 2 and 2 Michelin stars respectively.
You can also stay at Royal Hideway Coral Suites, one of the latest luxury hotels that has open its doors and that has received the World Luxury Hotel Awards de 2018.
If you prefer an intimate and luxurious hotel with prívate pool and excellent service, you should stay at Royal Garden Villas that has also received the Luxury Lifestyle Award in 2018.
The south of the island of Tenerife is where all the five star hotels are, being Adeje the main location where you can find them. But there is one particular area of Tenerife that we truly love if you keep going to the south.
There is a little town called Alcalá, that is very close to “Acantilados de los Gigantes”, enormous cliffs that you cannot miss. In this little town you can stay at Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora.
This hotel has also been awarded by The world Travel awards as the best family resort in Spain and it has the largest infinity pool in Europe. If you prefer to stay at a no kids zone and have exclusive service and a private reception you can make your reservation at Red Level.
These are just a few examples of the luxury hotels you can find in Tenerife if you are planning your elopement and honeymoon here. You have also the possibility to rent luxurious private villas and have concierge services to arrange everything you need while you are on the island.
Locations with special charm for your elopement ceremony
Bearing in mind that an elopement involves just the two of you and maybe a couple of relatives or friends, to find a unique location for the ceremony and a romantic place for the afterward dinner or lunch would be an easy task. Tenerife is full of wonderful locations, but the best way to organize everything and get to those hidden places is with the help of a wedding professional or a romance concierge.
The “Teide” volcano
This is the most famous and higuest volcano in Spain that is also home to the first solar observatory in the world. This is a must in your visit to Tenerife and the place chosen by many couples to either get married in front of the breathtaking volcano or take their wedding photo shoot there. Local couples may not pay enough attention to this place because they are used to it but foreigners love visiting this marvelous setting and there is no other place in the world like that to celebrate an elopement. Moreover, on the way to “El Teide” you can make your photographer take shoots on the lookouts and from where you can see the “cloud’s see” which is a beautiful effect formed with the clouds.
Los Gigantes Cliffs
This part of the island is one of our favourites. If you want to have an awesome elopement there you only have to rent a private yatch or sailing boat and have a special and unique ceremony with the “Gigantes Cliffs” as the backdrop.
Its impressive vertical walls, that in some areas have a 600 meters height ,extend from Los Gigantes harbour to Punta de Teno, the most western point on the island. If you decide to have your elopement on board you can also see the dolphins and the baby whales and enter the Masca bay, where you can even have a private and romantic dinner which would be the icing on the cake.
The charming “Masca” Village
“Masca” is one of those beautiful places to discover in Tenerife. It is located on the northeast part of the island, in a town called “Buenavista del Norte” and belongs to a rural park called Teno.
Small houses with canarian style and architecture seem to hang from the mountains, where you can see the deepest ravines in all the island. Legend has it that this place was the refugee for the pirates that tried to hide and did not want to be seen.
From this incredible location you have a clear view of “El Teide”, part of the Atlantic ocean, and other canarian islands such as “El Hierro”, “La Gomera” and “La Palma”. The beauty of dusk from this place would be the perfect scenario for a wonderful elopement.
Anaga rural park
The Anaga rural park that has been declared Biosphere reserve, is located in the northeast region of Tenerife being one of the most ancient parts of the island. It is one of the most northern laurel forests in the world and this only occurs in regions with a warm and humid temperate climate. The laurisilva, the moss and the light filters in between the tree tunnels create an overwhelming atmosphere. This is a magical place for a wedding shooting or an elopement ceremony.
Several trails deserve attention, the “Senses trail”, the one in “Roque Taborno” from where you can feel captivated by the Anaga rocks that emerge from the ocean, and finally the enchanted forest. This is one the natural treasures you can find in Tenerife. If you are looking for a fairy tale wedding elopement, this is the place.
Taganana, Almáciga and Benijo, dream coast and beaches
If you are looking for a beach to celebrate this special moment, we suggest you go to the coast triangle in Anaga, since this is a unique experience. This is a paradise with the largest number of endemic species in Europe, the reason it has been declared Biosphere reserve by Unesco.
You can start the journey in Taganana which stands for “surrounded by mountains” in the first inhabitants’ (guanches) language. If you go down from Taganana to Almáciga, you will find “Playa del Roque de la Bodega”, a beach formed by gravel and sand, an ideal and remote place for an intimate ceremony and photo shooting. If you go one kilometer further you will get to Almaciga beach, a black sand beach with strong swell and a little paradise for surf lovers.
Finally quite a long descent that will be worthwhile takes you to “Playa de Benijo”, where you can enjoy the idyllic scenery and where the sunsets are astonishing.
A vineyard ceremony
Did you know that Canary Islands have twentish autochthonous varieties and that only in Tenerife there are five denominations of origin?
If you are wine lovers the choice of celebrating your elopement in a vineyard would be fantastic. In Tenerife there are special conditions for the vine farming: ocean shores or more than three thousand meters height, the combination of different climates, the winds, rain, the piece of land that is volcanic in some parts, all these conditions lead to traditional vine conduction systems that are unique worldwide like the multiple plaited cord.
In the XVII century, wine was the only economic resource on the island and it was exported to the firs markets in the world. Nowadays canary wine is at its best moment as refers to quality and diversity, being a renowned wine around the world.
These are only some of the multiple options you have to celebrate an elopement in wonderful Tenerife locations. There are more hidden and wonderful places that we will keep showing you.
To sum it up, a destination elopement without your family and friends might not be for everyone. What is clear is that there is growing trend followed by couples of escaping from rooted traditions and their wedding turns out to be more personal. We believe that the people in your life who really love you, will respect your decision if you really want something more intimate, just the two of you, have a unique experience. If you are happy they will be happy.

Disney Hotels: Picking A Disney Hotel That Matches Your Travel Style
You may recall I recently did an article on how the time of year you visit Disney can make a mammoth difference in your experience. After this one, one of the bigger variables that can impact the way you plan for your trip has to do with lodging. Disney hotels run the gamut from the barest of bare-bones accommodations — campsites — up to luxury hotels. Add to that the numerous off-site lodging options that are available to you, and the uninitiated can get into the weeds fast. The decision is further complicated by the reality that not everyone that travels to Disney intends to use their hotel the same way. Read on to learn how to pick accommodations that align with the trip you’re wanting to plan!
Disney hotel tiers are broken down into Value, Moderate and Deluxe (and Deluxe Villas, which are larger versions of Deluxe rooms with extra amenities such as washer/dryers, full kitchens, and living rooms and a higher level of finish). Starting at the top tier, Deluxe resorts are the largest, usually have multiple dining options (many of which are signature dining) and have the most elaborately themed common areas and rooms. Several Deluxe resorts allow you to take a monorail, boat, or even walk to one or more theme parks, and provide a great deal of convenience.
On the opposite end of the price spectrum are Value resorts. While the common areas and rooms are still themed, the rooms are smaller and your on-site dining options are typically going be limited to food courts. Moderate hotels fall between the two, with more elaborate theming, larger rooms, and access to more dining options, but I can’t think of a single Moderate hotel restaurant that I would consider destination dining. Also, none of the Moderate or Value hotels are walkable from any of the theme parks — you’ll have to use Disney Transportation or a car (or Uber) to get around.
When thinking about these tiers, it’s more useful to think of them as compared to the other Disney properties as opposed to trying to compare them to non-Disney properties. Deluxe properties are considered “luxury” hotels by Disney standards, but it would be wrong to equate the rooms themselves to that which you might find at true luxury hotels elsewhere. The rooms are fine, but the level of finish is just not up to the standard set by chains like Four Seasons.
Incidentally, Four Seasons now has a hotel on Walt Disney World property, and it is the only true “luxury” resort at Walt Disney World that would maintain that status elsewhere. While it’s often comparable in price to a Deluxe and caters to similar travelers, it’s really more of its own tier because it is the only 5 Diamond resort in Orlando. For more information on the Four Seasons, check out this post. Suffice it to say, however, that if your only criteria in picking a hotel is staying at the most posh hotel available to you, you should start (and probably end) your research with the Four Seasons.
It will be easier if we get this out of the way early: while the official Disney hotels are priced up and down the pricing spectrum, they are almost universally priced higher than comparable accommodations off-site. There are several advantages to staying at Disney hotels that can justify the price for many, such as Extra Magic Hours, proximity to the parks and not needing to rent a car, and free parking at the parks, but you should be aware going into this exercise that especially after you get beyond the Value tier of hotels, the prices can head north quickly.
The Starting Point: Where Do You Usually Stay
Any time someone asks me where they should stay when they visit Walt Disney World, there are a number of questions that I have, but the first — even before budget — is ”what sort of hotel would you stay in if you were going somewhere other than Disney?” It’s useful, because it helps establish a baseline of their expectations — if someone is accustomed to staying at the Red Roof Inn, there’s not a lot of utility in talking about the various tiers of hotels, you can narrow things down pretty quickly:
|If You Usually Stay At||Start Your Research|
|Home Rentals||Deluxe Villas or Off-site Vacation Rentals|
|5-Star Properties||Deluxe (including Four Seasons)|
|Mainstream Flagship Hotel Chains (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Starwood)||Moderate or Deluxe|
|Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, etc.||Moderate or Value|
|Super 8, Motel 6||Value or Off-Site|
Now before anyone heads to the comments to lambaste me, far be it for me to suggest that someone that usually stays at the La Quinta wouldn’t feel right at home at the Grand Floridian. Unless you’re looking to radically alter the way you travel, however, this should be a good starting point for identifying properties that are consistent with your travel, style if nothing else.
What Sort of Vacationer Are You?
Another thing that will have a significant impact on where you book your stay has to do with how you like to spend your time on vacation. There are essentially two extremes: on the one hand, you have the “commando” style travelers, those that show up at the parks well before they open, churn through FastPasses, and essentially never stop moving until they crawl back into bed at the end of the night. As you might imagine, if your plan is to use your room as a place to sleep and nothing else, it’s tough to justify spending a huge premium for amenities that you won’t be taking advantage of. Many “commando” travelers lean towards Value resorts because they aren’t paying a ton for the room, but still have the benefit of being relatively close to the parks (as compared to off-site accommodations)
On the other end of the spectrum are people that really embrace the “resort” aspect of the Walt Disney World Resort, who view the parks as one of several things to do, and are just as likely to be hanging out at the pool or parasailing over Bay Lake as they are riding it’s a small world. If this is your mindset, it’s a lot easier to justify the price point of the Moderate or Deluxe, because you’ll actually be taking advantage of those enhanced amenities for which you’re paying a premium. The more your normal vacation involves lounging around a resort, enjoying leisurely meals and relaxing, the more you’re likely to see the value in a higher tier of Disney hotel.
Most travelers, of course, fall somewhere between the two extremes, and you should give some thought to how you travel when selecting your Disney hotel. Generally speaking, however, the more time you plan to spend at your hotel, the more it makes sense to devote a good chunk of your vacation budget to your accommodations.
Are you someone that relishes time at the pool? All Disney hotels have pools, but they are not all created equal, and pool quality is one of the most significant distinguishing features among the hotel tiers. Generally speaking, when you’re paying for a higher tier hotel, one of the things you’re paying for is a nicer, more elaborate pool. Stormalong Bay, for example, is more like a small water park that is shared by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Clubs — it is generally understood to be at least among the nicest, if not THE nicest, pool complex at Walt Disney World. If pool time is going to be a significant component of how you spend your time, it might be worth considering staying at a higher tier of hotel to take advantage of the better pools. In general, Deluxe pools are nicer than Moderate pools, and the Moderate pools are nicer than the Value pools (although the pools at Port Orleans Resorts are rated higher than many Deluxe pools, making them a great value if the pool is a major draw). Certain features, like whirlpools, are not present at Value pools at all. Consult our pool rankings for more details on where the various pools fall on the spectrum.
Disney hotel pools truly offer something for every taste, but let me offer this very specific pool-related warning: much though I love the Atlantic City vibe of Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, I am unlikely to stay there on a trip where I intend to do any swimming at all, and that is 100% because of the murder clown that maniacally belches slide-goers out into the pool:
To each their own, however. I digress.
Fine Dining & Nightlife
With the transition from Downtown Disney to Disney Springs, Disney World’s entertainment and shopping district has seen a metamorphosis from glorified outdoor mall to a legit standalone destination. There is some truly exceptional dining at Disney Springs these days — Morimoto Asia, Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ and The BOATHOUSE are all standouts, but there are many more worth a visit — and particularly if you’re a foodie, you might find that you want to spend a fair amount of time over there during your trip.
If this sounds like you, you should be aware that there are a few resorts that make it MUCH easier to get pop over for a bit, which could be the difference between you having to carve out an entire evening to visit Disney Springs and just popping over for a bit at the end of your evening. Saratoga Springs allows you to walk there, and there is also boat service to Disney Springs from that resort, Old Key West and both Port Orleans resorts (which are Moderate hotels). There are also several non-Disney hotels in the Disney Springs area.
While there aren’t enormous differences between the hotels in the Value and Moderate tiers, the same is not true of the Deluxe Disney hotels. One of the primary benefits of some of the Deluxe properties is proximity to one or more parks, but some Deluxe properties aren’t particularly close to any parks, and Walt Disney World is spread out enough that none of them are close to more than two parks. If you’re staying at a Deluxe primarily because you want the added convenience they bring to getting to and from the parks, give some thought to which parks are going to get most of your attention and target a resort that will make it easy to get there:
- If you’re going to spend the bulk of your time at Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary is the only resort that allows you to walk back and forth to the park. The Grand Floridian and Polynesian also have easy access to Magic Kingdom via the monorail or boat, and the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness both have boat access to Magic Kingdom.
- If you’ll be spending a lot of time at Epcot (for example, if you’re at Walt Disney World during one of Epcot’s many festivals) and/or Hollywood Studios, the Yacht and Beach Club, the Boardwalk and the Swan and Dolphin all allow you to walk or take a boat to the rear entrance of Epcot.
In this same vein, it’s worth noting that a few Deluxe properties and all of the Moderate and Value properties require bus service to all of the parks and accordingly do not add any real travel convenience to the experience. These include Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, Four Seasons, and Animal Kingdom Lodge and Kidani Village. Many people assume that Animal Kingdom is walkable from Animal Kingdom Lodge, but even though they are physically fairly close to one another, there is no way to travel between them on foot, so you’ll be reliant on a vehicle of some sort.
When you travel, do you prefer an experience more like a home than a hotel room? A space with common areas to relax, real kitchens, and laundry facilities? If so, you really have two options: you can stay in Disney’s Deluxe Villas, or you can stay in a vacation rental off-site. You can find Disney’s Villas at all of the Deluxe resorts except for the Yacht Club, and while they are configured more like a “home” than a hotel room, with seating and dining areas, separate bedrooms, and a generally higher level of finish as compared to the traditional hotel rooms, they are nevertheless still part of a hotel, and have access to the same amenities you would have at any Disney resort, like pools, sundry shops and restaurants.
If you’d prefer to have more privacy, or additional amenities like a game room, home theater, more than three bedrooms, private pool and the like, your only option would be an off-site vacation rental. There is simply nothing on Disney property that provides those sorts of amenities in a stand-alone property.
So, what is your travel style, and how does it impact where you stay when you travel to Walt Disney World? Let us know in the comments!

Very insightful and informative.
On a side-note, during an early May trip to Boardwalk my son asked why the crazy clown was throwing up kids!!!!! That thing is creepy.
Even seeing photos is a waking nightmare for me. Glad I’m not alone!
I’ve stayed on property too many times to count. Last time we went for the Deluxe Villa by purchasing someone’s DVC points at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Wow, what a huge upgrade! We’re doing it again this year, and now the Moderate resorts are spoiled for me…
Yeah, the DVC rooms will completely spoil you, especially if you’re able to get them at that price point by renting points!
We are doing the exact same thing and staying at Animal Kingdom’s Kidani Village on points. We wanted a Deluxe hotel without paying the price through Disney. We leave in two days and we are beyond excited. We are planning in a few resort days for the kids so where we were staying payed a huge factor for us!
Lots of great planning guidance for picking your Disney Hotel. The one thing that I might add would be the size of your travel party. We are a family of 5 and that has always been a big driver of where we could stay. I think there was an article back in February on the TP Blog that discussed that topic, although I can’t seem to find it now! Since the kids are teenagers now we do prefer to stay in a deluxe villa. Eating breakfast in the room is always our style and we rent houses or stay in timeshares when not at Disney. We love BWV (crazy clown pool and all). We are staying at Bay Lake Towers for a few nights at the beginning of our trip. We love being able to walk to Magic Kingdom and then when we move over to BWV walk to Epcot and DHS.
Yes, one of the biggest factors that most guides completely omit is determining how many beds you need. I believe Disney doesn’t have any rolllaways, which means that if you need more than 2 beds for your family, you are hunting to find rooms that fit everyone.
Spoiler alert, this may very well be discussed in more detail in the next installment of the series… 🙂
We are a family of 5 as well and I am always trying to assess where we can stay. Especially with some of the DVC remodels going to studios that sleep 5.
Yes, Disney has rollaways. But the DVC studio rooms that sleep 5, IMHO, are the best way to go. In fact, even something like Animal Kingdom’s value studio rooms would be fine with 2 adults, 2 kids, and a toddler in a pack and play.
One of the big perks with the DVC and Deluxe resorts is that you have a balcony. Last time we went, my wife and I had drinks and chatted on the balcony literally every night once the kids went to sleep.
We got a roll-away at Coronado Springs in 2015, but I can’t get any reliable info on which resorts offer them and which don’t. That would make a huge difference in where we book!
Great summary. I have a feeling I’ll be sending links to this article to people when they ask me where to stay 🙂
Another factor to consider: do you like a view of the parks/fireworks/electrical water pageant? Only monorail resorts afford all three though partial views of Epcot or Hollywood Studios fireworks can also be afforded from some of the Crescent Lake resorts.
Thanks, and great point regarding the water pageant. That can really be a double-edged sword, too — it’s a cool thing to be able to see at your resort, but it can also make it tough to get (or keep) younger kids in bed when it’s obvious that there’s something interesting happening right on the other side of the curtain. I know I’ve had that issue before…
To Dizwire’s point, I believe along with the tree removal required of the on-water bungalows at Wilderness Lodge that park and firework views have been opened up there too.
I hear you, brother, on getting kids to bed during the Electric Water Parade. Once that music trickles in, you might as well have given them a Coke.
White noise machine boys
I have only stayed in Moderates but I wonder about the quality/size of beds at Value resorts. Are they only double beds? Similar comfort in mattress and bedding?
They are indeed double beds rather than the queens you get in the moderates (although the Value suites will have a queen in the main sleeping room). As for the quality, your mileage may vary — I’ve personally experienced really comfortable and really uncomfortable beds up and down the room tiers — but generally speaking, the linens and everything are going to be nicer the higher the tier.
When my family and I are at Disney World, we want to feel like we’re totally immersed in Disney. That means being at either the All Stars, Pop or Art of Animation Hotel. They may be the Values, but they’re also the purest Disney hotels.
I agree. I love the “over the top” decor and feeling as if you are totally in the Disney bubble. I stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter one time, and even though it was a beautiful setting, I missed the “Disney”.
Lou, I agree 100%. I’ve stayed at many deluxe resorts and both Port Orleans locations too. They do have their benefits and I’ve enjoyed them all but for pure Disney, nothing beats Pop and Art of Animation in my opinion. Good point sir!
We like staying on property but for the past 4-5 years we’ve been renting houses in the Indian Creek area south of US 192. About the same cost per night as a Value resort but we get 3-4 bedrooms, 3 baths, king in the master, and a full kitchen. They have lots of other amenities depending on what the homeowner has upgraded.
Yeah, from a pure “value for the physical space,” it’s tough to beat offsite rentals, there’s just nothing at Disney that’s comparable for the money. There is more to it than just cost, of course, but that’s a big draw for a lot of people, especially for extended trips with larger groups.
Great article! One factor that you didn’t mention is the length of your trip. It is the main driver for us – 3 days sharing a hotel room is lovely but 3 weeks sharing a single hotel room is my idea of hell (no matter how ‘deluxe’ the resort is!).
A great point, and a great example of why a lot of people that do extended stays will stay in offsite rentals. It’s tough to wedge yourself into a basic hotel room for a long time, but the longer you stay, the more you start to feel the premium that you have to pay for a suite, villa or other room that will give you the space you need if you’re staying onsite…
Oh god the clown slide. Now I will say I think it’s a really fun slide, and it’s not so bad during the day. But we had a pool view One bedroom once, and we were at *just* the right angle for it to feel like the clown was staring into our window at night. Needless to say, the bedroom drapes were closed for most of that trip.
Oh boy, I wish I could unread that. The clown was already pretty troubling, but thinking about that, whew…
There are some really good points here. You sort of glossed over the pros and cons of on versus off site, but of course there are several blog posts here that discuss that. I’m a dyed in the wool ON-siter, so this was a perfect discussion of the topic for me, LOL.
The most important first thing for any Disney Vacation, and of course the blog mentions it time and time again, is to *make a global list of what one really wants to do and what’s important. Attractions, hotel needs, food, transportation, everything.* Then prioritize the short list of “musts for this trip this time* and also the “really would likes”. It’s very likely that this list will point to one or two resorts over others, given the considerations described above.
Will you be discussing back up plans for if the resort you reallyreally want is unavailable, in another post?
Might be worth adding that business travel road warriors set on racking up as many hotel loyalty points as possible should check out the Swan and Dolphin, which let you earn/redeem Starwood points while giving you most of the on-site perks. The rooms will also be more in line, amenity-wise, with what those travelers are used to.
Very good article! I know I’m in the minority here but I will #standwithclownpool. It’s a fun slide, even for me and I’m 6’1. The slides at the moderate pools are just too small for us big guys!

The layout is simple but convenient.
It has an open kitchen with a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is completely utilised to self catering. Pots, pans and cooking gear is available.
