Now that you've explored the Disney World parks, it's time to think about where to stay while on vacation at Walt Disney World. This video is an introduction to Disney World hotels.

Click the Play button (the large triangle) to get the basics on your hotel choices... plus why I recommend staying at a Disney hotel. To get started, check out this short summary of the Disney hotel categories:

Value Resorts: Casual resorts with bold colors and decor. Lowest room rates, but further from the Magic Kingdom. Closer to Animal Kingdom and Disney-MGM Studios.

Moderate Resorts: Casual resorts themed like favorite vacation destinations. Moderate room rates. Most are closer to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom.

Deluxe Resorts: Upscale resorts that immerse guests in unique cultural experiences. Most are very close to the Magic Kingdom and offer monorail and boat service. Higher room rates, which may vary greatly.

Cabins and Campground: Log-style cabins and campsites. Closest to the Magic Kingdom.

Disney Vacation Club Resorts: Studios to three-bedroom villas. Locations throughout the resort.
