Some people have STRONG opinions about Disney World hotels. While some people prefer the simplicity (and price) of Disney’s Value Resorts, others like the convenience and elegance of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts. Then, of course, many people opt for Disney’s Moderate Resorts, which offer a nice compromise of affordability and selection.
What’s your guess?
Pretty much every family you talk to will have a different answer, but today, we’re looking to some professionals to see which Disney hotels are ranked among the BEST in Orlando!

Taking the #14 spot is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas — Kidani Village. This hotel is home to Sanaa, which is one of the many incredible restaurants in Animal Kingdom Lodge. If you’ve never been to Sanaa, try the bread service! It’s AMAZING!

Coming in right behind Animal Kingdom Lodge is Disney’s BoardWalk Inn at #15. Between its prime location and large selection of dining experiences, we’re not surprised this made the top 25!

Right across the water, Disney’s Yacht Club made the #16 spot, while Disney’s Beach Club Resort is #17. Those Deluxe Resorts are KILLING it!
