Complimentary MagicBands

Walt Disney World hotels offer plenty of tempting perks beyond a regular hotel stay. Disney hotel guests get the added perk of complimentary MagicBands. These bracelets are available in eight colors and unlock your hotel room, grant park access (with the purchase of tickets), connect to PhotoPass to track photos taken by Cast Members, and allow easy check-in at Lightning Lane locations.

Extra Magic Hours

The best part of staying at a Disney World hotel is extending the magic beyond the parks to your entire vacation experience. Disney overnighters also get to experience Extra Magic Hours — extra time in the parks with less crowds. Plus, there’s free Disney airport and theme park transportation.

Variety of Themed Disney World Hotels

With more than 25 unique Disney World hotels, there are fantastical accommodations for every family’s wishes and budget. The Grand Floridian is a slice of luxurious Disney heaven for those who like the finer things. Also, it’s pretty hard to beat witnessing giraffes, wildebeests and gazelles saunter through the property at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Meanwhile, I’ve been longing to “rough it” Disney-style at the Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort ever since I watched Sing Along Songs Campout at Disney World when my kids were wee. As a Hawaii fanatic, though, I love sleeping beneath the swaying palms at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Village. And there are so many more dreamy options! Use Undercover Tourist’s Disney World hotel comparison tool to find the perfect hotel for your family.

  1. Staying at the resorts is so much fun, and it definitely has a ton of perks. Thanks for sharing this!

  2. Everyone always wants to know how to save money at Disney and these are great ideas. I’ve stayed at the campground, in the cabins, and at several resorts and love the convenience of staying on Disney property. I think the cabin was my favorite. It was nice to spend time in the parks, but then escape some of the busyness of Disney and relax. The cabin was a bit pricey, but it did allow us the opportunity to save money on meals by preparing our own.

    1. Tonya – I seriously have been longing to stay in those cabins FOR YEARS. I need to do that! Thank you for your comment!
