Staying nearby
Staying near Walt Disney World
Besides the Disney hotels, there are plenty of hotels on and around the resort. Some offer the same perks as a Disney hotel, such as Early Theme Park Entry. Others are cheaper, but then you'll need a car or taxi.
Hotels on the resort
There are also hotels on Walt Disney World property that aren't owned by Disney. The Walt Disney World Swan, Walt Disney World Dolphin and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve are in the EPCOT Resort Area, with a boat to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Their guests get Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Guests at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando and the hotels in the Disney Springs Resort Area, among others, also get in half an hour early.
Hotels off the resort
Along the roads around the resort, in Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee, you'll find lots of hotels, apartments and holiday homes, often with their own pool. There's also a wide choice around International Drive in Orlando, which puts you close to Universal Orlando as well. Bear in mind that parking at the theme parks costs $35 per day (as of November 2026). Read more on the page How do you get to Walt Disney World?.
