Location and transport
The hotel is located in the EPCOT Resort Area. It has its own Disney Skyliner station; the gondola takes you to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. A free bus runs to the other parks.
Rooms and suites
The standard rooms have two queen-size beds and sleep up to four people. If you choose a Preferred Location, you'll be closer to the main building, Old Port Royale. There are also rooms with one king-size bed for two people.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Free transport
The free Disney buses take you to all the theme parks, the water parks and Disney Springs. Parking at the hotel and the parks is free.
Food and drink
In Old Port Royale you'll find Sebastian's Bistro, serving Caribbean dishes for sharing at the table. For a quick bite, head to Centertown Market. There's also Spyglass Grill, a bakery corner and the Banana Cabana bar.
