food IS a theme park
There are SO many different Disney-owned hotels and off-property hotels near Disney World in Orlando that it can be difficult to know just where to stay for your upcoming trip.
The Grand Floridian is GRAND.
One of the biggest factors in picking a hotel can be its cost. Today we’re taking a look at just how much it costs to stay at Disney World-owned and operated hotels, and what the costs would look like if you opted instead to stay at other hotels on property or other hotels nearby.
There are over a dozen hotels on Disney World property.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
That means you can probably find somethin’ for everyone, whether you’re looking for a well-themed resort, an epic pool, or ALL the luxury. And sure, the hotels themselves are prettyyy magical (sometimes, the characters even make an appearance!). But it’s not all pixie dust, all the time.
We’re in the mood for somethin’ to drink!
Disney’s Riviera Resort
We’ve been trying lots of boozy sips around Disney World lately, from Dole Whip flights to questionable peach margaritas. But today, we’re heading over to one of our favorite spots on property, Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort, for a cocktail.
Calling all Florida residents!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
If you’re planning a visit to Disney World in the next few months, you’ll want to check out all of the deals and discounts that are currently available. And as a Florida resident, you qualify for some extra special savings! But heads up: they’re ending SOON.
Planning a trip to Disney World soon?
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
At any given time, there may be a series of discounts that you can use! And if you’re an Annual Passholder staying on property, there’s a special deal just for you that we wanted to remind you about.
If you’re staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge soon, you might notice some things have changed about the rooms!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge fully reopened a few days ago and with it, we got a chance to check out the newly renovated rooms at the resort! Now, we’re doing an in-depth tour of the new and improved Wilderness-inspired digs!
There’s LOTS going on at Disney World’s hotels lately!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Beach Club Resort recently (fully) reopened, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a huge makeover, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort will see some changes! And over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge (which officially reopened TODAY!), we’re taking a peek at some refurbished rooms.
It’s a BIG day for Disney hotels!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has officially reopened! The Disney Vacation Club villas reopened here wayyy back in 2020, along with some shopping and dining options, but the resort as a whole has remained shuttered. Now, non-DVC rooms are OPEN and available for booking! So of course, we had to bring ya along to take a peek inside.
As Disney World continues with its phased reopening, certain elements or experiences remain unavailable.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
However, while certain hotels, restaurants, and attractions are still closed, we’re slowly seeing others reopen. Earlier this year, Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopened in full, and Tusker House welcomed guests again! But if you’re planning a stay at a Disney hotel, you’ll want to know about another returning option.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
