Hi there, Whitney!
Welcome to planDisney. It looks like you are planning to visit
The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a couple of weeks, so let's get right to your question!
While I prefer to enjoy the perks of staying in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, I understand that this isn't always feasible for everyone. If you are hoping to stay outside of Walt Disney World Resort property but still within shuttle distance of the magic, I suggest looking into the
Disney Springs Resort Area hotels, the
Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek,
the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, or the
Waldorf Astoria Orlando. Offered at varying price points, these hotels range from a place to simply lay your head when you are not exploring all that Walt Disney World Resort has to offer, to luxurious resorts with spas, golf courses, and lazy rivers. I noticed that the websites for certain hotels indicated that guests would need to make advance reservations for the shuttle as well as information indicating that guests of select Disney Partner Hotels have access to certain
benefits such as
Early Theme Park Entry, so I would reach out to your hotel at the time of booking to inquire about the hotel's policies.
As one of Mickey's neighboring Floridians, Whitney, I wanted to remind you that there are
Special Offers available exclusively for you! I hope you get the chance to enjoy an extra bit of magic by utilizing one of the amazing deals.
I hope this was helpful and that you can secure a practically perfect hotel for your vacation. Don't hesitate to
drop back by with any additional questions you may have. I'm happy to help!
Hakuna Matata,
Lizzie
