Magical Greetings, Carol!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question, and I am so happy that you are interested in staying at one of the magical Disney Resort hotels! All resorts are an extension of the magic you'll find in the theme parks, feature comfortable rooms, fantastic dining options, and, of course, Disney magic! Now and then, characters may stop by to say hello, and all resorts feature activities on-site that are perfect for days away from the parks. There is a resort for every family, no matter the budget! As Mama Odie once said, let's "dig a little deeper" and get this list ready!
Starting in the Value resort category, you will have the option of Disney's Pop Century Resort, Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports Resorts. Pop Century and Art of Animation provide quick transportation to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner, and the All-Star Resorts are closest to Disney's Animal Kingdom Park.
In the Moderate resort category, you have the options of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, Disney's Port Orleans-French Quarter, and Disney's Port Orleans-Riverside Resorts. Caribbean Beach is also on the Skyliner Route, and both the Port Orleans resorts are a boat ride away from Disney Springs. Coronado Springs is close to Animal Kingdom, and Fort Wilderness is closest to Magic Kingdom Park.
Lastly, the Deluxe resort category features resorts that are the closest to the theme parks, and these include:
- Magic Kingdom Area: Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Wilderness Lodge.
- EPCOT Area: Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Disney's Riviera Resort
- Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
I suggest taking a look at all the resorts, deciding which one fits your needs, and then calling the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line to make your reservation. 2025 Guests will also have the magical benefit of having complimentary admission to one of Disney's Water Parks on their check-in day. I hope all of this information was helpful, Carol! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney, and visit us again if you need additional pixie dust. We are happy to help!
Choose Magic!
