I often will recommend to my clients that they stay at a Disney monorail hotel. The benefits of the location just can’t be beat. This past September (trip #18) we again chose a WDW monorail hotel, and stayed at the Polynesian hotel. And we splurged and upgraded to the concierge category. Was the pampering worth the cost? Mos def!
First of all, continental breakfast each morning makes it easy to get up, grab some food, and hit the park.
Anyone who has travelled to Disney with kids knows they’re hungry when they wake, and don’t want to waste a lot of time eating before they hit the rides. Continental breakfast works great!
Second of all, you’re in a wonderful room, with terrific views of the bay and Magic Kingdom. You can even watch the fireworks at night while sipping a Grand Marnier (which we did on several occassions).
Third, there are soft drinks and snacks throughout the day, for rest time when you come back for a swim and to get refreshed.
And fourth – then there are the hot h’or d’oeuvres from 5-7 and the dessert buffet from 8:30-10. All with your choice of alcoholic or other beverage.
