We share the best Walt Disney World Resort hotels you should consider.


The Best Walt Disney World Hotels

It's tough to pick the best Walt Disney World hotel because they're all so different and there's something for every taste and every budget. However, in our opinion, some hotels are better than others, but there certainly aren't any bad hotels. Walt Disney World Resort hotels are broken into three categories. Deluxe, Moderate, and Value. There are villas and cabins as well but they're not always readily available booking from the UK so we're going to stick with the main three categories.

Walt Disney World Deluxe Hotels


  • Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
  • Disney's Beach Club Resort
  • Disney's Boardwalk Inn
  • Disney's Contemporary Resort
  • Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
  • Disney's Polynesian Village Resort
  • Disney's Wilderness Lodge
  • Disney's Yacht Club Resort
  • Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village
  • Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
  • Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort
  • Copper Creek Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
  • the Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
  • Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
  • Disney's Riviera Resort

Walt Disney World Moderate Hotels


  • Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
  • Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
  • Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
  • Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
  • Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Walt Disney World Value Hotels


  • Disney's Art Of Animation Resort
  • Disney's Pop Century Resort
  • Disney's All Star Resorts

There are benefits you get staying at a Walt Disney World hotel hotels such as free transportation (bus, boat, monorail, Disney Skyliner) and Early Entry into the parks. If you stay at any of the deluxe hotels, on select nights one of the four theme parks will stay open for up to 2 hours just for deluxe resort guests.

Prices can vary for each hotel, so it's best to search rooms through Disney directly to get an idea of how much each of the hotels cost on the dates you're looking to book. If you're struggling to narrow down your choice, we'll share with you our top 5 recommended Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

#5 - Disney's All-Star Movies


All-Star Movies
Disney's All-Star Resorts are the lowest-cost Walt Disney World Resort hotels. There are three all situated next to each other. One themed to movies, one to music, and one to sports. These are standard "Premier Inn" type rooms. The rooms are newly refurbished and the hotel features a bar, pool, quick-service restaurant, and shop. Choose this hotel if you don't want any bells or whistles and just want a comfy bed to sleep in with some Disney-theming scattered around the resort. Movies are my favourite of the three.

#4 - Disney's Polynesian Village Resort


Polynesian Village Resort
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is one of the highest-priced resorts, and for good reason. It's absolutely stunning! It's home to Ohana and Kona Cafe, two excellent restaurants, as well as a quick-service location. It's also on the monorail loop so it's super easy getting to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. The rooms are newly refurbished and themed to Moana, and they look incredible. You even get a welcome lei when you check in!

#3 - Disney's Wilderness Lodge


Wilderness Lodge
If you like Disney Sequoia Lodge at Disneyland Paris, you will love Disney's Wilderness Lodge. It's like Disney Sequoia Lodge but bigger and grander. The atmosphere of this resort is so nice and relaxing, and even though it's not on the monorail loop, it's close to Magic Kingdom.

#2 - Disney's Pop Century


Pop Century
Disney's Pop Century is our go-to Walt Disney World Resort hotel. It's fun, clean, and has everything we need. It's a value resort, like Disney's All-Star, but it's a step above. There's only one bus stop, a larger quick-service restaurant, and now hosts the Disney Skyliner for super fast access to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

#1 - Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge


Animal Kingdom Lodge
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is the most beautiful hotel I've stepped in, period. The rooms are newly refurbished with hints of The Lion King, and there's nothing like sitting on your balcony looking over the savannah. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge also hosts two phenomenal restaurants in Jiko and Boma. If you have the budget to stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, you won't regret it.
