A Walt Disney World resort hotel can almost be as much fun to visit as one of the theme parks! Each resort has its own theme and the details are carried out to near perfection. But with nearly 20 WDW resorts to choose from, not to mention all the off-site hotels and vacation homes, which resort is the best one for you?

Fact Sheets for each of the hotels are presented here as a guide to help you decide where to stay during your Walt Disney World vacation. Information includes types of accommodations, current room rates, amenities included, and contact information. The column on the left of this page lists each of the Walt Disney World resorts, plus a few that are on Disney property but operated by other companies. To see the Fact Sheet for a resort, just click on the appropriate link. We have also compiled guest comments on some resorts -- you'll find the link to these under the resort names as well.

The Resort Photo Gallery offers both interior and exterior photographs of each of the resorts. We've tried to include pictures of rooms in every category, as well as the pool areas and the grounds of each location. To see the photos for a resort, just click on the appropriate link.
