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.
