Disney World Area Splurge!

There's no shortage of ways to spend money in the Disney World area, but which splurges are worth the extra cash? Enjoy a weekend of luxury surrounded by life-sized cartoon characters at the Happiest Place on Earth. Mix great food, pampering and world class entertainment for a vacation experience you'll never forget.

Waldorf Astoria Orlando

Mix the convenience of a Disney property with the luxury of the Waldorf Astoria brand. The Waldorf Astoria, which just opened in October of 2009, is not one of the official Disney properties, but a special arrangement between the hotel and the parks allow guests to use the convenient, complimentary shuttle service. When you return to your hotel, you'll be surrounded by crystal chandeliers and a world class golf course instead of more mouse ears. Enjoy the spa, a round of golf and five star service at this quietly elegant luxury hotel.

This also helps you stretch your budget around the globe.
