In my experience, the bus services to and from the deluxe resorts are nowhere near as consistent as those at the value resorts. This makes sense because the number of guests is smaller, but it's something to think about if you don't like to wait a long time for a park bus.

I deduced that there could be a potential for savings if you're in a deluxe resort within walking distance or on the monorail loop just by shear timing. If you're not waiting on a bus, how much time might you save that you get to experience in the park? I might actually consider the luxury enough to knock off a day that i might spend at a value or moderate resort and see some savings there. After some fume-filled bus-waiting in my last trip (at Caribbean Beach), I am anxious to look at luxury and convenience the next go around!

Same with my last stay at Saratoga Springs. An upper level room was outside access too.

But I have just discovered this blog thanks to StudioCentral.com's recommendation, and I really like it!

Bu you said the "Interior Entrances - The Deluxe Resorts are the only level of resort that has a main entrance with interior access to all rooms. This is, in my opinion, the safest way to go. Although the main doors are by no means completely secure, they are visible to staff at all times and there are no dark corners for potential criminals to lurk in."

If you are on the first floor of the lodge you do have access to walk right out of your room to the pool, ect. So you do have more access there than just the main entry.

I know many don't care much about the room or property while at WDW, be we've found we use the hotel as much as the parks so we really enjoy the ammenities of the deluxe resorts.

Don't get me wrong.....I'll take a trip to Disney and pretty much be happy with ANY property. But we pretty much exclusively stay at the deluxe properties--our favorite being the Grand Floridian. Our kids are teens now, but they've been staying at the deluxe resorts since they were infants and we've never felt they couldn't enjoy and be themselves. In addition, we've made great friends at many of the properties.

The Yacht & Beach clubs have a great pool, the Grand Floridian and Poly share a great beach with water sports and now movies on the GF beach, they all have great restaurants and other things we've enjoyed during each stay. We stayed at the Boardwalk for the first time this past June and LOVED that location as well.

While I've enjoyed Pop Century, All Star Sports & Music and some of the moderate resorts, there is nothing like a deluxe resort for pampering and grown up activities! After all, it's my vacation, too!!

Love the WDW deluxe properties!!
