It’s true, the only thing better than visiting the Walt Disney World® Resort is staying in it. From the moment of arrival, guests in one of the 18 Disney Resorts receive world-renowned Disney service. From guestrooms overlooking a 33-acre tropical savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to the value-priced rooms at the uniquely themed Disney’s All-Star Resorts, each Disney Resort offers its guests a long list of benefits.

Early birds can get a jump start on the magic when staying at a Disney Resort. With paid admission, Resort guests enjoy exclusive access to Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot® or the Disney-MGM Studios 90 minutes before regular Park openings on select days.

And forget about car keys and parking hassles. Special monorails, boats and motorcoaches transport guests directly to any area in the Walt Disney World® Resort, allowing more flexibility and convenience during each vacation.

Another benefit is the opportunity to make advance dining reservations. Guests can make dining reservations up to 60 days before arrival at many of the more than 200 restaurants found throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort. Guests interested in Character Dining experiences can meet Mickey and the gang at one of Disney’s famous Character Breakfasts held daily at select Disney Resorts.

From backhands to backstrokes to backswings, resort guests also have access to a variety of recreational activities, including golf, tennis and swimming. Other activities include horseback riding, fishing, sailing, canoeing, croquet, fitness centers and two spas. Supervised childcare services at select Disney Resorts is another benefit of staying onsite.

There is a Disney Resort Hotel to suit every taste and budget. Accommodations include Disney’s Value Resorts, Moderate Resorts, Home Away from Home Resorts with fully-equipped kitchens or kitchenettes; and Deluxe Resorts featuring impeccable surroundings, top-notch services and the finest in dining and entertainment.

Guests selecting a vacation package of three nights or more with accommodations at a Disney Resort receive Disney’s Ultimate Park Hopper Ticket, which provides unlimited admission to Disney’s four Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom® Park; Epcot®; Disney-MGM Studios; and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park), Disney’s three Water Parks, Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island, DisneyQuest® Indoor Interactive Theme Park, and Disney’s Wide World of Sports™ Complex.

In much the same way that Disney’s Theme Parks offer an escape to timeless lands of enchantment, Disney Resort Hotels offer a mix of adventures - from the Victorian elegance of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to the flavor of the Caribbean Islands at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
