I've stayed at every Disney World hotel — these 5 are actually worth every penny

I've been to Disney World dozens of times over the last three decades. Megan duBois

I've stayed at every hotel at Disney World, and some are worth the extra cost on vacation.
I love Pop Century Resort for its cheaper rooms, and it's easy to get to two of the four parks.

I've been going to Disney World for almost 30 years, and in that time, I've been lucky enough to stay at every single hotel the company has to offer.

There are plenty of options, from family-friendly and budget stays to high-end luxury resorts.

A typical trip to Disney World for a family of four can cost nearly $7,000, so it's tempting to cut corners by staying off-property. But there are five on-property hotels that I think are totally worth the money.

Pop Century is my favorite budget-friendly hotel.

My favorite way to spend a long weekend is glamping at Disney’s Fort Wilderness.

I don't typically camp, but the cabins at Fort Wilderness are lovely. Megan duBois

Disney’s Coronado Springs is one of my favorite moderate-level hotels.

I always book a room at Disney’s Riviera Resort for a luxury stay.

I love being able to look out over the property from my room at Riviera Resort. Megan duBois

We're budgeting $400,000 to flip 5 train cars into Airbnbs. It all started with a 1970s caboose we bought on Facebook marketplace.
