Welcome to "Park Proximity or Pool Paradise?" – the ultimate guide to selecting your Disney World or Disneyland hotel! Choosing where to sleep (or not sleep!) is one of the biggest decisions for any Disney vacation, and it can make or break your trip.

In this episode, we break down the pros and cons of the two primary hotel strategies:

• 🏰 Park Proximity: Staying at a hotel right near the action (think Monorail resorts, Skyliner access, or walking distance). Is the convenience worth the cost?

• 🌴 Pool Paradise: Opting for a resort with incredible amenities, world-class dining, and those show-stopping, themed pools (Stormalong Bay, we're looking at you!). Is a little extra travel time worth the superior relaxation and resort day experience?

We’ll cover transportation options, hidden costs, resort-specific perks, dining comparisons, and essential tips for every budget and travel style—from families with toddlers to couples on a romantic getaway.

Don't book your next Disney vacation until you listen! Tune in and discover whether you're a dedicated Park Hopper who prioritizes the front gate, or a seasoned resort guest who knows the true magic lies in a perfect afternoon by the water.
