Why should you choose a Disney Resort?
As a Disney resort guest you are entitled to many extra benefits:
- Free Walt Disney World transportation. Buses run all day long to and from the parks and Downtown Disney. You can ride as many times as you like!
- Disney's Magical Express. Free roundtrip transportation between the Orlando airport to your Disney Resort. This is a huge savings! In some instances, you can drop your luggage off in your hometown airport and have it delivered directly to your resort room.
- EXTRA MAGIC HOURS! These special hours are only available to Disney Resort guests and they allow you to visit a particular theme park on a designated day for certain hours that the public is not allowed to access - either one hour in the morning or up to 3 hours in the evening.
- Disney Dining Plan. When you book your package you are able to add on a Disney Dining Plan that will allow you to save money on meals during your Disney stay.
- Free purchase delivery. Disney Resort guests can have their purchases delivered directly to their resorts. If you purchase something in a theme park you don't have to worry about carrying it around with you all day.
- Guaranteed park admission. Sometimes the parks will close to outside ticket holders for capacity reasons, but if you purchased your tickets with a Disney package you are guaranteed admission to parks. This is a general rule, as there are exceptions.
- Key to the World card. Your Key to the World card is your resort room key but it's also your ticket to enter the parks, your dining package verification and your personal charge card!
- Free parking throughout the theme parks. If you choose to drive to the parks instead of using the bus transportation you are able to park for free.
- Pet services. As a resort guest you have the option of placing your pet in Disney's overnight kennels (for a fee).
- Golf privileges. Disney Resort guests can make golf tee-times up to 60 days in advance.
- Wake up calls. You can have special wake up calls from a Disney character! How fun!
- Disney-ness. Staying at a Disney Resort means you never have to leave Disney property. You can feel fully surrounded by the magic during your entire vacation. No matter where you go you are only a bus ride away from one of the parks. Disney offers the best customer service!
