Choosing where you’ll stay during your trip to Disney World can be a difficult decision.
That’s why we wanted to help guide that decision by asking our Facebook followers, “Which Disney World resort do you think is worth the money to stay at?” For most, the decision came down to aspects like proximity to the parks, price, transportation, and…smells?! We got 594 comments, and the responses may surprise you!
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter and Riverside
Are you surprised to hear that both locations at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort were our most popular responses?! The biggest reason our followers chose this option? The water transportation to Disney Springs! One response said, “The water taxi was great for Disney Springs.” Another said, ” But what I really like is the boat ride to Disney Springs – it’s fun, relaxing and very scenic.”
Aside from the water transportation, the relaxing environment was another reason our followers liked this option. One response said, “It has a nice quiet atmosphere and isn’t a overwhelming large resort.” Another reader added, “I feel it’s a very nice resort at the moderate pricing level.”

Disney’s Pop Century Resort
This resort was another one of our most popular responses! The Skyliner was the main reason our readers gave, as well as the price. One reader said they liked it for the “skyliner convenience.” Many others agreed!
Price was a huge reason too. One reader said, “We don’t spend much time at the resort. But the time we do is comfortable.” Another reader added that it’s “such great value!”

Disney’s Yacht Club
Yacht Club received many responses, with the proximity to EPCOT being the main reason. One reader said, “Walking to EPCOT was the best part.”
But we also heard another unusual reason for liking this resort. THE SMELL! This particular reader said, “The smell is incredible.” (We ride Pirates of the Caribbean for the smell, so we totally get it.)

Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
This resort received some responses, but seemed to be somewhat divisive. As one reader said, “You either love or hate this resort.” In favor of this resort, another reader said, “The grounds are so pretty, you can walk to the Riviera and the Skyliner!”
Another reader cited “marshmallow roasts on the beach” as a reason for liking this resort! (We can’t blame them!)

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Much like Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, some loved this option while others weren’t a fan. One reader said, “We didn’t get to enjoy the animals since we were out at the parks when they were visible.” (Luckily, the Starlight Safari has returned, so you can see the animals at night too!)
However, another reader said, “You don’t need to leave the hotel as there’s just so much to do. I could spend a day looking at the wallpaper in the bedroom.”
