List of Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

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, with various levels of dining, entertainment, and recreation. All of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels include the perk of Early Theme Park Entry.

Good Neighbor Hotels

Disney Good Neighbor Hotels are located near the parks, but they are not owned by Disney — they have a partnership with them. Good Neighbor Hotels have a person on staff to help with your Disney Vacation, and they also have transportation to theme parks, but a fee may apply. There are 40+ Good Neighbor Hotels to choose from, ranging in prices. Some Good Neighbor Hotels have access to Early Theme Park Entry.
