Accommodations In and Around Walt Disney World

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 30 or so Walt Disney World Resorts to choose from, not to mention all the off-site hotels and vacation homes, which Resort is the best one for you?

Disney World Resorts are divided into price categories with amenity levels to match. The Resorts are broken into:

Value Resorts | Moderate Resorts | Deluxe Resorts |
Disney Vacation Club Resorts | Pet-Friendly Resorts |
Off-Site Accommodations | Vacation Homes

Each of the Resorts is examined in more detail in its own fact sheet (linked below), as well as in a selection of interior and exterior photos. 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.
