Our Side-by-Side Disney Resort Comparison Series

If you’re planning a Walt Disney World vacation and trying to choose between two (or more) resorts, it can be difficult to narrow things down to one final choice. Below, we’ve provided a list of side-by-side comparisons of hotels that often fall under these circumstances. For instance, if you’re considering a moderate resort, you might go back and forth over Caribbean Beach versus Coronado Springs or the French Quarter versus Riverside. We’ve compared each of these hotels in individual reviews that include location factors, transportation, rooms, dining, and recreation. Here are our current resort comparisons.

Disney’s Pop Century Resort vs. Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort: Both are affordable value resorts, but only one has Skyliner access. We break down the pros and cons of staying at each and whether or not price or location matters the most.

Disney’s Pop Century vs. Art of Animation: Both are value resorts on the Skyliner, but one has family suites and immersive theming, while the other is a bit more nostalgic. It’s a tough decision, but one stands out a little more to us.

Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside vs. French Quarter: These sister resorts share a boat to Disney Springs but offer unique atmospheres. Riverside is sprawling with more room to explore, while the French Quarter is compact and charming.

Disney’s Coronado Springs vs. Caribbean Beach: These moderates are similar in price but very different in feel—one is more business-class with deluxe-style amenities, while the other offers island vibes and Skyliner access.

Disney’s Beach Club vs. Beach Club Villas: Thinking of staying at the Beach Club? We compare standard resort rooms with Disney Vacation Club villas to help you decide what fits best.

Samawati Springs Pool vs the Uzima Springs Pool: If you’re staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you’ll have two feature pool options. We recommend figuring out which one you might enjoy the most! The answer will vary based on your travel party.

Choosing the right resort is one of the most exciting parts of planning your Disney vacation.
