Disney's Maingate West 3 Stars Hotels

"I might as well buy a little apartment here, because it's basically the only place we stay in when we go to Disney. It's 5 minutes away from Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which we frequent for Dinner. Very easy to get to. We usually get a 2 bedroom, which has a King bed for the couple and another room with 2 twin beds, perfect for 2 extra guests (adult kids in our case). It also has a Queen sofabed, perfect for yet another 2 guests. It has a fully stocked kitchen, full fridge. It just feels like going to a vacation apartment. You can't beat that with a stick. The only iffy thing is that it has a $200 refundable deposit and a nightly resort fee, which has been increasing over the years. But they return the deposit as soon as you check out, and I've never had any issues. The resort fee might eventually be an issue for us, but honestly, other dingy places of less caliber have also started instituting resort fees. Orlando is getting more and more expensive!"
