Overview
Disney classifies their hotels and other accommodations according
to the level of amenities you can expect to receive and the price
you'll be asked to pay. Hotels with monorail stops tend to be more
expensive than those with only bus service, and those with a more
upscale appeal will (of course) be priced at a premium. Here's a
look at the categories of Disney resorts and some of the amenities
and other features you can expect to find at each level.
