I've been visiting Disney World and staying in the resorts for over two decades. Jenna Clark

Over the last 22 years, I've stayed at 15 resorts across Disney World.
My least favorites are Disney's All-Star Sports and Disney's Coronado Springs.

Disney World is home to value, moderate, and deluxe resorts — all with varying room rates and amenities.

I've had the opportunity to stay at 15 of the over 25 Disney World Resorts in the last 22 years, and I often return to resort-hop and explore the properties.

Here's how I'd rank all the resorts I've stayed in from worst to best.

Note: Room rates are based on October 2023 data and are subject to change.

All-Star Sports is great for large groups, but the rooms are my least favorite.
