Hi Julie!
Welcome to planDisney! Staying on property in one of the
Disney Resort Collection hotels is the highlight of our vacations. The magic of the
Walt Disney World theme park is carried over into the resorts through unique themes, wonderful pools, and festive decor, featuring some of your favorite Disney characters. Official Disney Resorts Collection hotels are resorts that are located directly on Walt Disney World property.
The Walt Disney World Resort also offers Guests the option to book a Disney Partner Hotel or a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel.
Disney Partner Hotels encompass Walt Disney World Gateway Hotels and Official Hotels in the Disney Springs Area, the Bonnet Creek Area, and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels. Many of these hotels offer the opportunity to are able to book Disney Advance Dining Reservations at the 60 + 10-day reservation window and have access to Early Theme Park Entry.
Good Neighbor Hotels are hotels that are within the Lake Buena Vista and Orlando area that offer transportation to the theme parks (be advised that a potential fee may be charged) and have a dedicated representative to assist with Disney planning, be it tickets or dining reservations.
Thanks for stopping by with your question about Disney Resort hotels, and I truly hope this helps you plan a most magical vacation at Walt Disney World!
