Hi Alan!
Welcome to planDisney! The
Disney Resorts Collection hotels offer great amenities to Guests opting to stay on property.
Walt Disney World Resort also has
partner hotels on property, which enable Guests to stay close to the magic, as well as
Good Neighbor hotels, which allow Guests to take advantage of great pricing. Some of the partner hotels include the Hotel Boulevard Resorts such as
B Resort and Spa Lake Buena Vista,
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, and
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World, to name a few. Good Neighbor Hotels include many off-property hotels, such as
Buena Vista Suites, and
Caribe Royale Resort.
Many of these resorts do not typically include free parking at the theme parks. They may, however, offer a free shuttle service. It is in your best interest to speak to management at your resort of choice to see if it is included in your stay, or what your best transportation options are. You can also opt to utilize a ride-share service, which will drop you off at the entrance to the theme parks if you so choose.
Alan, I hope this helps you plan a fantastic stay at the Walt Disney World Resort. Be sure to visit us again for any Disney vacation planning advice.
