Hi Brandy,
How exciting to be planning a Walt Disney World vacation! Whenever I am planning my next Magical adventure, as soon as I have my dates decided I always move onto planning where we get to call "home" for our visit.
Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels have many benefits over non-Disney affiliated hotels. These include offering a variety of rooms and accommodations, having a Guest Services desk to assist with your vacation planning, providing Walt Disney World Resort information, and offering transportation to the Walt Disney World Resort (fee may apply). You are definitely on the right path in choosing one of these hotels over non-Disney affiliated hotels for your upcoming visit.
Brandy I am happy to inform you that if you book a vacation package which includes theme park tickets and a stay at one of these
Good Neighbor Hotels, then the standard Walt Disney World vacation package rules apply. To discuss the specific details, I advise calling the phone number listed in the blue box on this page for
Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel Room and Ticket Reservations. Note that if you make a room only reservation for one of these hotels that can be done online, but a vacation package with tickets needs to be done via a phone call.
Since you are exploring your hotel options, you may be interested in looking at
Disney Springs Hotels. There is a wonderful variety of hotels in that location and some even boast suites. One of my good friends frequently stays at Disney Springs because of the very close proximity to the dining, shopping, and entertainment offered at
Disney Springs.
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question and I hope this information helps you with your vacation planning. Please stop by and visit us again ~ we are always happy to help!
