Disney Hotel Categories
Let's start by talking about the categories into which Disney hotels are divided:
Value;
Moderates;
Deluxe;
Value hotels within Disney cost around $175 dollars a day, this is in high season.
In low season the values fall by half.
Moderate hotels come next, with prices around 280 dollars in high season and 200 in low season.
When we talk about deluxe hotels, prices go up a lot.
In high season prices can reach up to $770 dollars, but some others, although luxurious, charge around $550 dollars, even in high season.
At the low point, the values fall, respectively, to $500 dollars and $320 dollars in both cases.
Choosing one of these is more dependent on your funds available to invest in the trip.
If you are looking to go there and live like real kings, luxury hotels are the best for you.

Benefits of Staying at a Disney Hotel
Here speaksLet's also leave the old benefits that were removed, just for 1 simple reason.
There is a lot of information loose on the internet about the benefits of Disney hotels today, precisely because there have been so many changes.
Benefits of Staying at a Disney Hotel in 2023
Complimentary transportation between resorts, parks and Disney Springs
Free Parking for Disney Parks
Early Theme Park Entry – You can enter any parks 30 minutes early
Resort room billing privileges
Resort Package Delivery
Meal reservations within 60 of your check-in date for any date during your stay.
Being inside the “Disney bubble”
Location and Onsite Stay at Disney World
Benefits removed in recent years
free transport from airport
Free MagicBands
Extra Magic Hours
FastPass+ Scheduling within 60 days
Is it Worth Staying At Disney Hotels?
This is a very difficult question to answer as it can vary for each group. But let's do a brief review here.
There are a number of positives and negatives about staying at a hotel within the Disney Resort.
The main negative point is the high daily rates.
The positive points are diverse and in addition to the general benefits mentioned above, each hotel has its own benefits as well.
Overall, advantages such as transportation and the fact that you can feel the Disney atmosphere all the time on the trip can be worth it.
However, Disney has increasingly removed these great advantages, causing the balance between pros and cons to begin to tip towards the more negative side, unfortunately.
One of the biggest examples was the removal of FastPass+.
It was a huge advantage to schedule FastPass+ 30 days in advance than other visitors, but now FastPass+ no longer exists as it has been replaced by Lightning Lane and Genie+.
Below, we will go into more detail about the benefits of staying in a hotel inside disney.
At the end of the day, you should give your group an assessment of whether or not it's worth it.
Make your budgets and see if the added value of being at a disney resort is right for you.
I can give my opinion directly to my profile and my family.
We LOVE to stay Disney hotels, and they offer a number of advantages to us.
But due to the high cost, we never stayed there for the entire trip.
We are not the same as all visitors as we are content creators and we usually stay at different hotels during our visits.
However, even if we weren't content creators, we wouldn't spend the entire trip at a Disney resort.
One last note is that, we like Disney so much that even if there was no direct benefit to staying there, we would still stay because we love the atmosphere of being inside Disney!
Disney Hotels Prices in 2023
Disney Value Hotels: They cost approximately US$190/day in high season and start at US$100 a day in low season.
Moderate Hotels within Disney: An average of US$350.00 per night in high season and US$220.00/day in low season.
Disney Deluxe Hotels: With daily rates from $550 to $850 in high season depending on the hotel chosen. In low season, it is around US$350 to US$550.00.
Parking at Disney Hotels
A few years ago it was free to park your car at a Disney resort. Unfortunately this has been changed and today you need to pay an overnight fee to leave your car.
Cheapest hotels stay at $13/night
Hotels considered moderate stay at $19/night
Deluxe hotels stay at $24/night
How to choose My Disney Hotel in 2023
Length of Stay at Disney Hotels
The first step in knowing how to choose the Disney hotel that is right for you is to decide how long your vacation will last.
In fact, this is step number one in choosing the best hotel in any situation.
Do you plan to spend a week at Disney? Or maybe 10 days? 5?
Or, who knows, you will enjoy 15 days at the parks?
This is important as the number of nights is a multiplier that will directly affect your budget.
For example, suppose you have $500 for Disney accommodation.
In that case, you could stay approximately 3 nights in the Pop century, one of Disney's most affordable hotels.
At the same time, that budget would cover just one night at the Wilderness Lodge, a luxury resort.
This is the first step to filtering the available options.
Have a Budget
Okay, now that you know how many days you will be at Disney, it's time to check what hotel options are available to you.
In this case, we have to take the available budget for accommodation and divide it by the number of nights of the trip.
To make this account, you need to have a well-organized travel budget.
It's not very complex, but it takes effort. An Excel spreadsheet can work miracles and make your vacation much more organized.
When you know how much you can spend on accommodation on the trip, just divide that amount by the number of nights.
For example, let's say you have $$1,400 to spend on a hotel for a 7-day trip.
This means that you can choose from all options of resorts whose daily rate is less than $200 dollars.
Just to name a few, you could stay at Pop Century, All Stars and Art of Animation.
Now, let's say you have $2.100 to spend on accommodation for that same 7-day trip.
In this case, the available options increase.
In addition to the hotels mentioned above, you could also stay at the Caribbean Beach Resort, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans Resort and a few others.
When you do that, you'll have Disney's range of hotel options at hand to decide which one is best for you.
Oh, don't forget to include the Disney hotel parking fees.
Now they charge you per night, and if you are going to rent a car on the trip, you will need to add that amount to your budget.
Required Amenities for Your Group
Every tourist travels from a different place and goes to a different place, carrying different luggage.
This is a truth that many backpackers learn on the job.
This means that each person has a specific set of needs on a trip. Want to see an example?
Come on. Imagine a newly married couple on their honeymoon.
They may want a little more luxury as they have saved up a lot of money for this once-in-a-lifetime trip, and they may want more privacy.
They will prefer a more comfortable hotel room, dinner in a romantic restaurant.
A family with a father, mother and two children will have totally different needs.
They will want practicality, economy on meals, easy transportation to the parks and preferably with several entertainment options inside the Hotel.
Therefore, you should know everything you need in a hotel room, for example:
Is having a kitchen in your room a necessity for you? Or maybe you prefer a fully renovated room with no carpet?
Maybe your priority is an out-of-this-world decor? Or quick access to a huge pool?
Each hotel can provide or remove these needs, if you need help choosing your hotel, contact our agency and request your quote.
Transportation
Once you have more or less in mind the price you can pay per night and what your hotel room needs, there will be a few options available to you.
At this point, you can't go wrong, as the two most basic factors will already be met: money and basic necessities.
From now on, what separates each hotel room is the details, often the difference can be huge even within the same Disney resort.
I will give an example.
At the Art of Animation, The Little Mermaid pavilion is further away from the other buildings.
Because of this, you need to walk further to reach the Lobby, bus stop, or restaurants.
Therefore, it can be a very bad option for those who have limited mobility or have many children.
On the other hand, the rooms in the A Pequena Sereia pavilion are cheaper than those in the other buildings.
Food and Entertainment
A detail that goes unnoticed when planning your trip is the choice of food and entertainment at each resort.
Now that doesn't seem important.
After all, you are already planning to have dinner with Snow White or have fun in the parks.
However, when you arrive at Disney and start living the day-to-day life there, you'll want to have paid attention to the food and entertainment options at each resort.
The best way to resolve this is to research the dining and entertainment options within each of the Disney hotels you are considering.
Decoration, Merchandising and other Elements
Ah, of course, we have to remember that traveling to Disney is fulfilling a dream, often from childhood.
It's seeing your favorite characters come to life and having the experience of being there, with them, in those magical settings. It's something out of this world.
That's why it's worth valuing this part of the trip.
It might be more expensive to stay in the Lion King building in Art of Animation than in Pop Century, for example.
However, if your child is in love with Simba.
It's definitely worth investing a few dollars more to see his smile whenever he approaches the decor with the giant Simba at the hotel's entrance.
Now you have a better idea of how to choose the Disney hotel that is right for you.
It sounds difficult, but it's a matter of balancing the cost, the attractions and the magical experience that each room offers for your trip.
Here on the blog we have specific posts and reviews of each of the Disney hotels and Resorts in Orlando.
Even so, here we are going to give a brief explanation of each of the hotels you will find on the property.
Therefore, you will be able to have an excellent view of what each of the hotels has to offer.
Disney Deluxe Hotels in Orlando 2023
We will start by speaking precisely for those that are the most coveted Disney hotels.
Disney's Contemporary Resort
The Contemporary approaches themes from a minimalist perspective, so it's a good option for those who want a break from the Disney parks feel.
Thanks to its design and the monorail that passes right in the middle of it, it has a very futuristic look.
The monorail is another very good point of this hotel, as it offers convenient access to the Magic Kingdom and to Epcot.
However, if you are staying at Disney's Contemporary, it is more worthwhile to walk to the Magic Kingdom.
Excellent dining options are another plus, as is the California Grill, Steakhouse 71 and famous Chef Mickey's
The downsides of this hotel are the high values, and a generic pool for those looking for something more themed in all areas of the hotel.
In fact the theme of this hotel seems to be well played, each part of the hotel to have a different theme, which can seem slightly strange.
It is an extremely popular hotel, if you plan to travel there, we recommend that you book as soon as possible.
Click here to secure your reservation at the Contemporary Resort.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Without a doubt, one of the most coveted hotels in all of Walt Disney World.
It's one of the most attention-grabbing looking at it from the Magic Kingdom!
General strengths are:
Excellent on-site dining (the finest in all of Walt Disney World);
Location near the Magic Kingdom on the monorail circuit;
Pleasant and luxurious atmosphere in general around the entire resort;
The only negative point here is the fact that it is the most expensive resort in Walt Disney World and the shared transport to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
But certainly the biggest problem here is the price. It's really expensive.
Book your stay at the Grand Floridian clicking here!
Disney's Polynesian Resort Village
The Polynesian is well known to Disney fans, this resort celebrates tiki culture.
Honestly, of the hotels we haven't stayed at yet, it's the one I most want to stay!
Polynesian Resort's strengths are:
Its amazing theme throughout the hotel including the rooms.
Great restaurants, including character dining at Ohana
Located on the circuit Monorail, that is, just a short trip from the Magic Kingdom.
Great view to watch the Magic Kingdom Fireworks show on a small private beach.
It is also a short walk from the Entrance and Transport Center.
The weak points are the fact that it is one of the most expensive resorts at Walt Disney World along with the others already mentioned.
Being dated in some ways and using shared transportation to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
Click here to see rates and book Disney's Polynesian Resort.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge
One of my favorite Walt Disney World resorts.
I have to admit, it was the hotel that impressed me the most when I entered the Lobby.
I even recorded everything because it was during the Magic Influencers event, where we were invited by Disney. It was too amazing!
Unlike the other resorts in the Magic Kingdom area, it is not on the monorail circuit – it is connected to the park via boat.
This hotel offers as positive points:
Its incredible rustic theme turned to nature;
Excellent Restaurants such as Whispering Canyon and Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White;
Location near Magic Kingdom, great boat transport
Lower price than other Deluxe hotels.
If you like the rustic theme here, Wilderness Lodge is hard to beat.
Therefore, if you wish to stay there, we recommend that you guarantee a reservation.
Disney's Beach Club Resort
The Yacht Club's partner resort, the Beach Club has a lot to offer.
The theme of this hotel is cheerful, fun and very cozy.
Some of the strengths of this hotel are:
The Storm-Along Bay pool is by far one of the best in Walt Disney World with its sandy bottom. In fact, it is the only pool in all of Disney with a sandy bottom simulating a beach.
It's a wonderful short walk to Epcot, and an excellent boat ride from Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Dining on site is also excellent.
Weaknesses are price and shared bus transportation to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.
We also found the rooms to be superior to those at the Yacht Club.
Make your reservation at Disney's Beach Club on here!
Disney's BoardWalk Inn
We love the BoardWalk Inn for its proximity to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
It's right across the street from Disney's Beach Club & Yatch Club Resort.
It is very famous for its boardwalk full of restaurants and being an amazing place to stroll.
The rooms here are attractive and well themed.
In terms of downsides, price and shared bus service are the main ones.
It does not offer any Table Service restaurants inside, however you can find excellent dining options in BoardWalk.
Make your reservation at the Boardwalk Inn here.
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
The Yacht Club is the Beach Club's more upscale partner hotel, and it's more or less the same, aside from a slightly more refined theme.
As well as the Beach Club, the pool, convenience to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, as well as dining options, are strengths.
Even when I ate at Ale & Compass I made a post about being the breakfast with the best value for money at Disney.
Weak points are daily price and shared bus service.
Disney's Riviera Resort
The newest resort in the Epcot area is not located on Crescent Lake, the lake that extends into the park.
Riviera Resort is accessible through the Skyliner, Disney's recent cable car.
Disney's Riviera Resort is a mix of themes, with minimalist themes and location being its biggest downsides.
In addition to the Skyliner, the Riviera offers a formidable array of upscale restaurants, elegant rooms, and other features that many guests will enjoy.
Make your reservation at the Riviera Resort here.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House
This is one of our favorite resorts at Walt Disney World, and one of the best options in all of Walt Disney World.
I had the pleasure of staying there this year on the Disney show we were invited to!
The positive points of Animal Kingdom Lodge are your feeling of being a Resort.
First of all, it offers many excellent dining options.
In addition, it offers plenty of on-site entertainment, starting with the animals of the Savannah, which is open to all, as well as a high-quality art collection throughout the hotel.
Thematically and culturally authentic, Animal Kingdom Lodge is perfect for guests looking for a resort that, in its own right, offers something to do and very comfortably within Disney!
Its biggest downside is its distance from virtually every other point of interest within Walt Disney World, but in our opinion this distance is overshadowed by all the other benefits.
Secure your reservation for Animal Kingdom Lodge here.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village
Very similar to Jambo House above, but with some minor differences in location and amenities.
Particularly in pools and restaurants, but actually if you're staying in one, you'll have access to both.
This is very helpful for Disney Vacation Club members who want to conserve points by staying at Kidani Village.
Click here to make a reservation for Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Disney's Old Key West Resort
Old Key West is the original Disney Vacation Club resort, and that was actually its name when it first opened.
A very nice environment with a Key West theme.
The Old Key West has the largest rooms of any Disney Vacation Club resort, which is a big plus if you want more space in your room.
The Old Key West theme is very well done, but it is a Florida themed resort in Florida.
On-site dining and amenities are excellent.
The biggest downside is that it is a very large and spread out resort so you will need a long walk from the room to the restaurants.
In addition, this impacts the inefficient system of buses that stop too much.
You can make a reservation for the Old Key West Resort on here.
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
Saratoga Springs is another resort that was built as a Disney Vacation Club hotel, which means it was built with villas in mind.
The theme here is subdued, and the hotel feels very new and fresh.
It is also a short drive or ferry ride away. Disney springs.
On the downside, Saratoga Springs is the largest and most sprawling resort at Walt Disney World, which results in multiple bus stops.
This makes transport to parks an uphill task if you don't have a rental car.
And now with paid parking, renting a car to stay at Disney resorts has become excessively more expensive.
The offer of restaurants in Saratoga is also bad.
Treehouse Villas Resort
An incredibly unique resort nestled in the woods alongside the banks of the Sassagoula River, just a short drive from Disney Springs.
Treehouse Villas are part of Saratoga Springs and will make you feel like you're in a world away from the rest of Walt Disney World.
These larger units are good for some families, but definitely not for everyone – especially those without cars.
Disney Moderate Hotels 2023
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
The vibrant, tropical feel of this hotel delights every visitor.
The Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort It is the oldest of Disney's Moderate Resorts.
This is positive for the rooms as they are larger than normal.
The pool here is without a doubt the best of any moderate.
This resort is great for families who want a value upgrade.
Like other moderates, he has multiple bus stops which makes transportation inefficient.
Of course, be sure to make your reservation at the Caribbean Beach Resort on here.
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Coronado Springs has the quality of a Deluxe Resort for the price of a Moderate.
It also has Deluxe resort-level dining options.
That's because it's Walt Disney World's premier convention hotel, which can be good and bad.
On the plus side, its amenities are super inviting to conventioneers who have no interest in theme parks.
On the downside, many tourists don't appreciate the “convention crowd” at their resort, which in fact can be a bit unpleasant.
This resort is good for adults traveling without kids and bad for families.
Other weaknesses are its scattered nature and a theme that is globally bland.
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
The Fort wilderness is unlike any other Walt Disney World resort.
It's an amazing resort, it's right across the street from the Magic Kingdom but it's pretty easy to forget you're close to the park when you stay there.
At Fort Wildernedess you have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, archery, bonfires and much more.
Needless to say, Fort Wilderness is not for everyone.
But for nature lovers, it's a show on its own and could become your favorite hotel!
If you liked it, book your accommodation at the Fort Wilderness Resort here.
Fort Wilderness Resort cabins
We think it's a great option if you have a large group and want to enjoy the secluded atmosphere of the resort.
A beautiful room that combines rustic style with modern amenities. A good option for some families
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
It's a romanticized version of New Orleans, and it has to be said that Disney has outdone itself in the details of this resort.
By the way, if you like the movie “The Princess and the Frog”, you will love this hotel (and the next one)!
Also, its biggest strength is its compact size and single bus stop, which is a stark contrast to other moderates.
The pool is nice too, as are many areas of the resort.
are that it shares some amenities with Riverside (French Quarter doesn't have a table service restaurant because of that).
The downside here is that due to its small size, it's rarely possible to book rooms at a discount, which means it often ends up costing more than other Moderate Resorts.
Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
One of my favorite hotels in all of Walt Disney World.
It was the last Disney hotel I stayed at and my experience there was wonderful!
It's themed like a Deluxe Resort for the price of a Moderate Resort.
It is very close to Disney Springs and offers excellent amenities.
We consider this the perfect Walt Disney World hotel for a budget honeymoon due to its romantic atmosphere.
The only downsides are its layout layout, which leads to long walks. (although walking there is quite pleasant).
It is in this hotel that you can stay in the princesses' room. It is an extremely themed room and very amazing.
Undoubtedly one of the best options among moderate hotels.
Disney Budget Hotels 2023
Disney's Art of Animation Suites
Art of Animation is Walt Disney World's newest hotel, and already one of the most popular.
Most of their rooms are family style, family suites, which is a pro or con depending on your perspective.
Resort-wide design can be both a plus and a minus (likely a plus point for families and avid Disney movie fans, and a blow to adults looking for a romantic or laid-back escape).
Another positive point is the food court and transport.
Cons are the spread out layout and pricing, which is above the rest of value resorts.
We've stayed there before and loved the experience.
Even though it's one of the Value type resorts, you definitely get a superior experience there.
Make your reservation for Art of Animation as soon as possible.
Little Mermaid Room from Disney's Art of Animation
If the family suites at Art of Animation are too big for your family, these standard rooms in the Little Mermaid are a potentially viable alternative.
We love Art of Animation and it is the most affordable way to stay at Art of Animation as it is the cheapest room in this hotel.
Disney's All Star Music Resort
Each of the Disney All Star Resorts has the same strengths and weaknesses.
Theme is one thing that will be the divider, and larger than life icons will be considered a favor by some while it is a blow to others.
In general, All Star Resorts are Disneyfied motels and are fairly spread out.
Strong points here are the price and the fact that you can still enjoy Disney amenities on-site.
Of the All Stars, we think Music is the most relaxed and best placed.
Weak points are shipping, overall quality and design (for some).
Disney's All StarMovies
Like All Star Music, All Star Movies' biggest strength is its price.
It also has a fun theme for kids and movie fans, though many others find it cheesy and over the top.
It's not our case, we LOVE it and we've already reviewed it on our Youtube channel.
All general strengths and weaknesses are the same here as All Start Music.
Of the three All Star Resorts, Movies is our favorite as it's the last stop on the bus route (meaning it gets skipped at times) and because it's the oldest.
Make your Disney's All Star Movies Reservation here.
Disney's All Star Sports Resort
exactly the same general pros and cons as the other All Stars.
In addition, All Star Sports benefits from having a more pleasant food court than the others and is the first stop on the shared bus circuit.
Its biggest disadvantage is that it is the most used hotel for large groups of young people.
If you don't think that's a big deal, you've never had a group of cheerleaders practicing their chants at 11 pm outside your room.
Disney's Pop Century Resort
A good option at Resort Value as it costs less per night than Art of Animation and some rooms are within walking distance of the Art of Animation food court.
The newly renovated rooms at Pop century also make it a winner as its rooms are the newest of all Value Resorts.
Pop Century has divisive, oversized icons that adorn the property, and many of them will resonate less with kids because some are pop culture references that are above their heads than the icons at other Value Resorts.
Pop Century also has a dedicated bus service and a very nice food court, as well as Disney amenities at a reasonable rate.
This makes it a good option for trips where the hotel is only for sleeping and showering.
Weak points are that it's basically a “Disneyfied” motel and it's spread out.
Other Hotels in the Disney Area 2023
This is our selection of other hotels near Walt Disney World.
Some of these hotels are located on-site, some are off-site in the Disney Springs area, and some are off-property, but always right next to the Walt Disney World Resort.
Grand cypress villas
This is a luxury AAA Four-Diamond golf resort: a sort of Disney Vacation Club on steroids, and set on a golf course.
It is very close to Disney Springs.
Be sure to make your reservation at Grand Cypress Villas!
It is the #1 hotel in Orlando with an average score of 5/5.
Villas at Grand Cypress absolutely lived up to the expectations set by its prestige.
The problems are twofold: price and golf.
It's expensive, and unless you or someone on your team is a serious gamer, you won't get the most out of its core amenities.
B Resort & Spa
The B Resort feels like a trendy boutique hotel unlike anything I've seen at Walt Disney World.
It is also very close to Disney Springs.
We recommend that you make your reservation at the B Resort & Spa soon
It is a really ambitious hotel, with very attractive prices, considering its quality and location in Walt Disney World.
However, this style is probably not for everyone, ie families with young children.
It seems best suited for conventioneers or younger people who want to hang out after the parks close and have fun at Disney Springs.
Best Western Lake Buena Vista
This is a good hotel worth considering if you want a good location and solid accommodations, and a quiet location for Disney Springs.
This hotel won't “wow” you, but the rooms are better than expected, the amenities are strong.
There are some modern flourishes in common areas that give the hotel a bit of an upscale appeal.
It's a rather pleasant surprise, as an above-average 3-star Best Western doesn't rest solely on the advantages of its location.
DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando
Huge suite-style rooms that provide space for guests to spread out is this hotel's big selling point, and in this regard, it's absolutely excellent.
We highly recommend it if you want something with comfort and in an excellent location, of course, do not leave to make your reservation very high up not to miss the chance to stay there.
They also have freshly baked cookies hehehe
One of the best budget options for all of Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World Swan
This is a hotel well known for being visible to visitors heading to Epcot.
The Walt Disney World Swan is a great choice if you're looking for a luxury experience or walking proximity to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios at a lower price.
The fact is, prices at the Swan & Dolphin are significantly better than comparable Disney hotels, even with additional costs factored in, and the amenities give virtually every Disney hotel a run for the money.
Therefore, guarantee your reservation as soon as possible because it usually sells out, especially in high season!
Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress
This hotel takes the resort to the next level with a robust list of activities and amenities.
Plus, this Hyatt offers chic style, top-notch service, and great rooms.
It is recommended for all types of travelers who want to stay close to Disney parks. Make your reservation here!
It's a luxury hotel that's likely to attract conventioneers and honeymooners, or families looking for an alternative to staying at Walt Disney World.
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace
The Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace is a much more ambitious hotel than you might expect.
It has an impressive slate of amenities, is an easy walk to Disney Springs, and has some of the absolute best rooms at Walt Disney World.
It is certainly not perfect, it has some very old areas, and the overnight stay is absurdly expensive.
But even considering this, this must be one of the best hotels in Walt Disney World.
If you want to stay there, We recommend you make your reservation here!
Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista
Unlike its sister property, the Buena Vista Palace, the (main) Hilton Orlando leaves a lot to be desired.
It is also a short walk to Disney Springs, the rooms are old and very “strange”.
There are significantly better options at Disney Springs, and we expect more from the Hilton name.
It is possible to do here reservations for the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista near Disney Springs
Holiday Inn Orlando
The rooms here are nothing special, but there's nothing wrong with them either.
Its highlight is the comfort of the bedding, which is far better than any deal at a Holiday Inn.
This hotel also earns points for its dining and pool areas.
Click here to book this incredible hotel near Disney Springs.
Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Given the quality of the hotel, the Waldorf Astoria's $$ 300/night prices aren't bad.
The hotel is superior to a Deluxe Resort at Walt Disney World in almost every way, aside from theme, and also less expensive than most of them.
And we highly recommend you to stay at this hotel!
One of the most luxurious hotels in all of Central Florida, this is a hotel that every luxury guest should take a good look at.
Secure your reservation here with the best price and confirmation on time!
Wyndham Lake BuenaVista
The Wyndham is a very basic, albeit reasonably pleasant option that will appeal mostly to those who don't want the theme of a Disney resort, or have rewards they can use or earn at Wyndham.
It offers fair value and is worth a stay there for good value for money.
You can make your reservation here!

Get your Parks Tickets at a Discount
Many people leave to buy their tickets when they arrive in Orlando or even on park day.
We absolutely do not recommend that you do this for a number of reasons, such as:
If you buy tickets on the spot, you won't be able to book your park days in advance at the risk of not even being able to enter a park on a given day.
You will lose valuable park minutes in line to buy your tickets.
AND MOSTLY, you will pay more because tickets at the box office are more expensive than buying in advance!
Access our ticket website to buy your tickets or request a free consultation to find out exactly which tickets are the best to buy.

Hey Carlos,
Love your article!
I read something about Disney not having Disney`s Magical Express anymore.
Is it still worth it to stay on property?
Hey Stela,
Yes it is. Staying on property can bring a lot to your vacation. But that depends on your focus. If you plan to enjoy the parks and you like Disney then staying on property is the way to go!
