If you’ve ever been to Walt Disney World, you know it’s all about the theme parks – and for good reason. The Magic Kingdom, the first of four theme parks built at Disney World, is one of the most visited theme parks on earth while Epcot hosts over 10 million visitors each year. Admission to these amazing attractions, however, isn’t exactly cheap. For families on a budget who want to experience a different part of the resort (and avoid long lines and overpriced concessions), there’s Downtown Disney.
Downtown Disney – A Fun and Free Alternative
Open year-round to the public, Downtown Disney is an expansive outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex located on the waterfront at the Walt Disney World Resort on Lake Buena Vista. Home to several world-class restaurants and over 40 amazing shops including the world’s largest Disney store, Downtown Disney requires no admission fee and also offers complimentary parking and transportation to all Wald Disney World Resorts. Aside from offering unique and memorable dining and shopping experiences, Downtown Disney is also home to Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba, the House of Blues, Planet Hollywood, Disney Quest, and the Lego Imagination Center. Sure, Downtown Disney might not offer the thrills of Space Mountain but you won’t have to fight thousands of other guests and tourists to have a good time.

I am a Mother. Since becoming responsible for keeping two humans alive, the only food that I’ve consumed has been quickly prepared and eaten cold. I drink more wine than water, mostly because…well, I have children.

Massanutten or Wintergreen: Options Vs. Affordability
Wintergreen offers more options in terms of dining than Massanutten. In fact, Wintergreen appeals to those who want to enjoy more than just good food, but a decent nightlife scene as well. Wintergreen has a great variety of both fine dining and casual dives, some of their restaurants even offer entertainment so that you can hit the slopes all day, then be entertained throughout dinner.
Both parks offer a similar selection of sports including tubing, the fast paced thrill of flying down a snow-capped mountain while riding inside an oversized tire. Wintergreen has taken it one step further; they have added a zip line you can ride, gliding high above the mountains, your body dangling in the air. Massanutten fights back with the larger ice rink of the two– if you love to ice skate, I suggest checking out their 4,250 square foot ice haven. Wintergreen also has an outdoor skating rink but it is far smaller in comparison at less than 1,000 square feet.
