Disney have 22 on-site hotels which are owned and managed by the park. All of Disney's resort hotels are themed and are classified in five different bands, these are;
- Deluxe
- Moderate
- Value
- Campground & Cabins
- Disney Vacation club
Each hotel within these categories have different price bands although you can get good deals in hotels within each of the hotel class bands. There are many different advantages of staying at a Disney resort hotel, a few of them are;
- If you are flying into Orlando international airport you are transported to your Disney resort hotel on the Disney magical express service. Your luggage is collected from the airport and delivered direct to your room door.
- Disney offer a complete transportation system throughout the park, all Disney buses have stops at every resort hotel. This makes the parks extremely accessible from all of the resort hotels. Buses run normally upto one to two hours after the park closing, its worth asking your bus driver on the day when the last bus is just to be safe! Please Note: The Swan and Dolphin hotels don't currently offer this service.
- Ideal if your taking the kid's! Many of the hotels offer character dining, this is where you can have either breakfast, lunch or dinner in the company of one of your favourite Disney characters. Please Note; Booking is advised as this service is very popular.
