Value Resorts:
The value resorts range from about $99 on a night. This is the cheapest level of the Disney resorts. The value resorts offer awesome theming and a great location being so close to Animal Kingdom. However due to the decrease in price there are some amenities that you are losing. There is no water slide at the pool and a hot tub. There is only quick service food at these resorts.
