Hello, Chrissy! Welcome back!
Thank you for bringing another great question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
The seven Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels are indeed an excellent option for Guests who prioritize
Extra Magic Hours and early access to
FastPass+ selections. On the other hand, they do not provide
benefits like the complimentary
MagicBands,
Disney's Magical Express, or the
Resort Transportation to and from the Theme Parks.
To my family, the Resort Transportation and Disney's Magical Express are especially valuable, since they allow us to save on rental cars or taxi rides. In our case, it's usually more cost-effective to stay inside the
Walt Disney World Resort. It's also wise to factor resort fees into your math, as they sometimes apply to hotels at the Disney Springs Resort Area.
I hope you find the perfect hotel for your next vacation, Chrissy! If you have more questions before May is here, please, come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. We're always here waiting to help king Guests like you!
May the magic be with you,
Julie
