If you are traveling to Disney World and you are looking for a nice, clean place to stay you might want to look into hotels in Kissimmee, Florida. Not many people know this but the majority of the land that Disney World sits on is located in Kissimmee. In fact, the Kissimmee area was the first area developed around Disney World and it is still home to many great restaurants, hotels, and resorts. Here are the top 5 reasons you will want to stay at a Kissimmee Hotel: 1. Price- The price for a Kissimmee hotel is going to be around 25% to 40% less than a hotel located on Disney World property. The reason for this is simple; most guests who are going to be visiting Disney World this year are going to book directly with a Disney Travel Agent or by calling Disney World directly. Disney World does not book the Kissimmee hotels, and so these hotels have to lower their price to entice guests to stay with them. 2. Amenities- Almost of the Kissimmee hotels offer a great swimming pool and most of the hotels have been completely remodeled in the past 5 years. Keep in mind, many of these properties were built in the early to mid-1980’s in order to meet the current building codes and to bring the properties up to the standards that many of the national chains have implemented over the past few years these hotels have gone through major renovations. Some renovations cost as much as 20 million dollars or more. 3. Great Restaurants- The main road which most Kissimmee hotels sit on is Highway 192, also known as Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. This road is also home to many great restaurants as well. You will find everything here from great steak restaurants to pizza joints, to national chain such as: TGI Fridays, Cracker Barrel, Carrabas, Longhorn Steaks, and many more. These restaurants are typically 25% cheaper to eat at than a restaurant located on Disney World property. 4. Proximity to Disney World- Almost all of the Kissimmee hotels offer a free shuttle service to Disney World, and many of these hotels are located within just a couple of minutes to the main entrance. Please note that Disney World is 26 square miles, so even if you stay at a hotel on Disney World property to get from the hotel to a particular theme park it might take you upwards to 15 minutes or more to drive there. It may sound crazy but many Kissimmee hotels are actually located closer to the Magic Kingdom than many of the hotels which are owned by Disney. 5. National Chains- Almost every national hotel chain is represented by a hotel property in Kissimmee. If you are a member of any of these national hotel reward programs you can save even more money. If you are going to stay at a Kissimmee hotel you will want to do two things to make sure you have a nice stay: 1) Stay at a national hotel chain- Almost all national chains have some sort of Customer Satisfaction Guarantee, this guarantee should give you peace of mind that you hotel stay is going to nice and relaxing. 2) Book at a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel- Disney wants everyone to come and have a nice time…even if you choose not to stay at their property. The Disney Good Neighbor Hotels are located near Disney World and these properties have received the seal of approval from Disney that these hotels are the best of the best in terms of customer service, hotel amenities, and overall guest satisfaction.
