Welcome to planDisney, Shaikha! I'm excited to answer your question today - a staycation at a Disney Resort hotel sounds enchanting and magical, and I'd love to dig a little deeper into this topic to help you plan!
Shaikha, yes, you can book a room-only reservation at a
Disney Resort hotel and enjoy the amenities of the resort without ever setting foot into the Theme Parks! In fact, there is so much to do at the Disney Resort hotels themselves and beyond the Theme Parks, you will have no problem enjoying your time even if you don't visit the parks! I'd love to share a few of my favorite things to enjoy outside of the Theme Parks to give you some ideas!
My first tip would be to choose a Disney Resort hotel that offers some of the amenities your family most enjoys! Whether you're searching for an awesome
swimming pool, some signature
dining options, or maybe some fun
transportation amenities, you will find plenty of options at the assorted resorts! Each Disney Resort hotel offers
benefits to its Guests, including an advanced dining reservation window which allows you to select your dining experiences 60 days before your check-in date for the entire length of your stay! If you have your heart set on a popular dining reservation like brunch at
Topolino's Terrace or root-tootin' dinner show at the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, your Disney Resort hotel reservation can help you secure these!
Some other recommendations for fun during your stay as a Disney Resort hotel Guest:
- Visit Disney Springs for shopping, dining, and some other recreational offerings, like bowling at Splitsville or a even catch a movie!
- Play a round of mini-golf at Disney's Winter-Summerland Miniature Golf Course or Disney's Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course.
- Dive into the fun of a Disney Water Park! If your visit will be in 2025, you will receive complimentary admission to a Disney Water Park on your check-in day! This is an awesome benefit that comes at no additional cost!
- Enjoy the complimentary transportation by taking a loop on the Disney Resort Monorail - we did this on our last trip, starting with brunch at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa before shopping and photos at Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort! You can easily take a bus from your Disney Resort hotel to Magic Kingdom Park to access the Disney Monorail at no cost!
Shaikha, I hope this helps you plan for some fun while staying at a Disney Resort hotel! I know the resorts offer a magic of their own, and I'm sure you will discover plenty of it during your trip! If you have any other planning questions,
come back and let us know!
Magic and Memories,
Alison
