Located in Orlando Florida, Disney World is one of the coolest places to visit in the United States of America not least because it allows many people the opportunity to meet their favourite TV characters in the real world (as much as that is possible).
Given the success of Disney, however, it also means that fans come from all over the world and that amenities such as accommodation can be difficult to get.
In this article, we will explore the places to find that at a friendly price on top of free breakfast and shuttle fees.
Each of these hotels has also been reviewed as high standard by previous customers so we can count on them. As proof, I share hotwire.com rankings herein too.
