On episode 57, Lindsay and Curtis compare all the onsite Walt Disney World Resort options now that they’ve stayed at all types available.

Intro:  Honestly, do you really want to miss out on 1/3 of the Disney World magic and stay offsite? I say go for the whole enchalada and stay at a Disney Resort. On episode 57 we make our case for Disney Resorts as we go Geekin’ On Walt Disney World!

We’re the family friendly, Father/Daughter podcast that will feed your passion for Walt Disney World by sharing our experiences and opinions as well as others from our community of passionate Walt Disney World geeks.

I’ve been looking forward to comparing Disney World resorts since staying at Pop Century in February.

Overall comment of Value vs. Moderate vs. Deluxe vs. DVC

Momma says:

Downtown resorts – a little elegant, luxurious

Pop Century – Wouldn’t mind staying one night before DVC. Beds were horrible, double, not queen.

Liked food court, atmosphere, room size was ok, buses fine

Caribbean beach – Really liked food court, next door to Epcot, could see ball and fireworks, huge gift shop

Buses were bad because of all the stops

Port Orleans – Pathways were tough and she got lost, same looking buildings, third floor with no elevator

Liked: Big water wheel, downtown disney boat, good food court, comfortable trendle bed for family of five

Swan: Twisty, windy hallways. Lost in hall ways. Had to go to front desk to find room

Loved The Fountain ice cream place at dolphin ; Loved seeing Tower of Terror from room; Loved smell aloe vera

Polynesian and Contemporary – Poly favorite, love both; totally IMMERSIVE, lobby, Tambu Lounge, Dole Whips, tiki torches lighting your way, hawaiian music,
