Where do you stand?

Renting a poolside cabana at one of Disney World’s Deluxe-tier resorts is one of the most luxurious – – and expensive – – perks on Disney property. We asked our readers if it was worth doing, and the answers surprised us.
Before we get into what our reader said, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s available at these cabanas.

Pieces for the cabanas can fluctuate but usually fall into the $300-a-day range. So, now that we’ve laid out what the cabanas offer, lets see what our readers had to say.

A decisive 74% of readers told us “No Thank You” that they would not consider a cabana. Reader George seemed to spell out the thoughts of many, saying “No and no. I’m never in a hotel long enough for the pools.” Essentially, it seemed that many readers wouldn’t consider a cabana because they didn’t feel spending that much time at their hotel was worth it while on a Disney World vacation.

It seems that despite the large amount of benefits – – and the fact that Annual Passholders can use their 15% discount on cabanas – – the vast majority of our readers have no desire to to try a cabana at a Disney Deluxe Resort. Stay tuned to AllEars for more on Disney’s hotel amenities.
