You really have a lot of decisions to make when planning a Disney World trip, right?!

I mean, you’ve got to figure out how you’re going to travel (airplane, driving, walking???), what rides you’re going to get on, which spots you’ll stop at for your meals, and where you’re going to rest your head at night. Speaking of where you’re going to stay, that got us thinking about which Disney World hotel rooms you avoid like the plague, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!

We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “What are the WORST Disney World hotel rooms in your opinion?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!

Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!

Pop Century Resort

First up, we’ve got Pop Century, which is a budget-friendly option, but according to our reader Chris, the savings weren’t worth it. He shared, “One time, and only one time, we stayed at Pop Century and hated it. We had to walk forever, and the room was tiny, even for three people. Never again.”

It sounds like the combination of long walks to the rooms and the cramped quarters left quite a lasting impression. And many you resonated with his response. So, if you’re traveling with a small group, you might want to think twice about this one.

BoardWalk Inn

This resort has its charm, but for some visitors, like our reader Nancy, it’s a marathon just to get to your room. She shared, “The very far end of Boardwalk. Those hallways are SOOO long with a stroller.”

Anyone who’s pushed a stroller through Disney World knows that the struggle is real. The BoardWalk Inn has some beautiful perks like being close to EPCOT, but those never-ending hallways, well, not so much. So, if you’re carting around tired kiddos, this resort might leave you feeling like you’re getting way more than your average steps in for those days.

Saratoga Springs

Next up on the list, we’ve got Saratoga Springs which was another resort that didn’t quite win over all our readers. Our reader Kyle didn’t mince words: “I am sure this is unpopular opinion but Saratoga Springs near the Disney Springs side. HATED it. There was no drink fountain for the refill cups and I feel like it was closer to Disney Springs than it was to the main hotel. To this day we still call it Saratoga Sespool.”

Well, when you’re paying Disney prices, the least you can expect is a convenient refill station, right? And being closer to Disney Springs than the main hotel didn’t help win any points either.

Port Orleans

Next, you had some thoughts about Port Orleans. Take our reader Keri for example. She shared, “I hate Port Orleans! The theming made the resort feel dirty and gross to me. I also felt the room decor made the room feel small (2017ish). It also just felt super weird to be walking past everyone dining at Boatwrights. Being that it was the only indoor path from the lobby to our room, I was constantly passing by. I’d have to say the gift shop was my favorite part of this resort. Port orleans is the one resort we’d never return to.”

Keri’s experience is proof that just about any Disney hotel can be a bit of a hit or miss. What some people find charming, others might find…well, a little yucky. Also, having to constantly walk through dining areas just to get to your room can get old fast. We will say, the rooms at Port Orleans French Quarter were recently renovated and this happens to be one of our favorite hotels in all of Disney World. It truly just shows that everyones preferences are different, and that’s ok!

Caribbean Beach Resort

Some hallways just don’t vibe with everyone. To that point, our reader Erik said, “I’m not a fan of any of the resorts with exterior (motel-style) hallways. Caribbean Beach is my least favorite. For that reason, I choose to stay at Deluxe (except for Saratoga or Old Key West) or Gran Destino Tower or Swan & Dolphin.”

There’s just something about those exterior walkways that might not scream “luxury.” Caribbean Beach Resort has its fans, but if you’re looking for a more secluded or deluxe experience, this may not be your cup of tea.

All-Star Music

The All-Star resorts are staple for many budget-conscious families, but sometimes they’re not always a hit. For example, our reader Jessica explained, “We just finished a stay at All-Star Music, we were in building 1, so right by the lobby! It was great, but I will say we’ve stayed there before and been ALL THE WAY in the back so really any resort that it takes 7-10 business days to get back to your room!”

It seems like these long walks from your room are a bit of a recurring theme with Disney World resorts. And honestly, who wants to feel like they’re walking halfway around the world after a long day at the parks?

Animal Kingdom Lodge

Last up, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom Lodge. While this resort is usually praised for its views of wildlife, our reader Lynette didn’t exactly love her stay. She mentioned, “Definitely Animal Kingdom Lodge. The rooms were so dated. And super uncomfortable. And far from EVERYTHING!”

The resort’s distance from the rest of Disney World is perhaps it’s biggest trade-off for its unique and immersive experience. But if you’re not 100% there for the animals, you might find yourself feeling a bit too stranded. Also, no one wants to deal with uncomfortable, dated rooms after a long day in the parks.

Those were just some of your thoughts on which hotel rooms are the worst in Disney World, and now we want to hear even more from you! Until then, keep it right here for all the latest Disney news! Also, follow us on Facebook to join in on the next discussion.
