If you are searching for a large hotel room or family suite you may be shocked by the price.  A family suite at Disney's Art of Animation Resort runs $348 a night on weekdays in the summer and $398 per night on weekends.  A 7 night stay would cost $2536.  That cost does not include the 13% tax, so add another $330.  What do you get for $2866 per week?  A 565 square foot suite that sleeps 6.  That's considered a value resort by Disney.  Our vacation rental home offers well over 3200 square feet, five bedrooms including two master suites, four bathrooms, a huge 40 foot balcony, pool, spa and more for a fraction of the cost of a family suite at Disney's value resorts.  Our summertime rate?  Just $1275 to $1400 per week for luxury accommodations, not a cramped value suite.

What if you are looking for a family suite at a better Disney resort?  You could choose a standard view suite at Animal Kingdom with two bedrooms at just $752 to $939 per night!  Add 12.5% tax and you could pay $7394 for your family to stay in a 2 bedroom villa that sleeps 8.  You'll get a lot more room in our 5 bedroom villa and still have $6000 left over.  Compare Disney's 2013 hotel rates for yourself.
