When you visit Walt Disney World, there are so many resorts to choose from. Here at Amazing Outlooks Travel Agency we recommend you staying on Disney property and here are some of the magical perks for staying in the Disney bubble.
In 2025, you will get FREE water park access on your arrival day, along with early entry into the parks and vouchers for miniature golf. A lot of the hotels in the area claim they offer free transportation to the parks, which is true, but they only take you to the transportation center, from there you have to hop on Disney transportation to the parks. If you stay at a Walt Disney Resort property, you will be able to board Disney transportation at your hotel and be dropped off at the front of the park you are visiting without the extra hassle of the transportation center. If you decide to stay at a Deluxe resort, you will also have access to extended evening hours.
When you stay at a Disney Resort, you get free cribs and bedrails (upon request and subject to availability), free in room coffee and tea, free wifi, and FREE PARKING! Free parking also applies to the parks, so if you decide to drive your car to one of the parks instead of taking advantage of the free transportation your parking is included.
Disney Resorts offer a lot of free activities nightly as well. Such as, campfires with marshmallows for roasting, favorite Disney movies under the stars on a big projection screen, poolside games and activities, and even surprise CHARACTER VISITS!!
If you decide to hit the parks before your room is ready, Bell Services will store your luggage for you and will handle any grocery deliveries for free!
And finally, as if all of that wasn’t enough, what I believe is one of the most important perks you get by staying at a Walt Disney World Resort property, is advanced booking privileges. You are able to book lightening lanes 7 days in advance for your entire stay (up to 14 days), while people staying off property can’t make reservations until 3 days before their stay, and have to make them daily. When you stay on a Disney property, you get access to book all of your advance reservations for the entire length of your stay (up to 10 days) up to 60 days in advance of your check in date. That means if you are trying to snag one of the coveted character dining reservations, or a makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you have access up to 10 days before guests that are not staying on a Disney property!
As you can see, there are so many perks to staying at a Walt Disney Resort property, why would you ever want to stay anywhere else?
