How will you choose your accommodations?

The differences among accommodations even between Disney-owned and non-Disney resorts are the size of the rooms, bathrooms, decor, level of service, dining options, recreational facilities, landscaping, locations and cost.

Some guests only want a place to lay their head while others want to take time to enjoy the resort.

If you stay at a non-Disney resort is there shuttle service to and from the Disney World Resort? Is it free and how often does it run?  While some non-Disney resorts boast close proximity to Walt Disney World® remember that Disney World is 47 square miles and being close to the WDW boarder does not mean close proximity to the parks.
