Lodging may be the most complicated decision for a Disney Vacation. Disney operates 28 resorts on Walt Disney property and there are hundreds of off-site resorts and hotels. We have a group rate at two Marriott hotels and discounted group rates at multiple Disney resorts.
Disney Resorts
Disney offers a wide range of hotels. They categorize their holes from value to deluxe. Price, room size, and resort amenities increase as you go from value to deluxe. All hotels have bus transportation to the parks. Most deluxe hotels have multiple forms of transportation to the parks including walking, monorail, or boat. Some moderate hotels have boat transportation. All Disney resorts share benefits of staying on-site.

On-Site vs. Off-Site Benefits
Picking between on-site and off-site is a personal decision. Disney lures guests with on-site only benefits. Some people want to stay in the “Disney bubble.”
