Accommodation

Walt Disney World Resort offers four different categories of accommodations for guests, ranging from Value resorts (starting at $99 per night) to Deluxe Villa resorts (from $335 per night). Value resorts are further away from the theme parks, with only buses available to transport guests to the parks, whereas Deluxe Villa accommodations are closer, with more transportation options.

There are lots of accommodations options outside Walt Disney World Resort hotel, but staying at a resort hotel offers many perks, including advance FastPass+ reservation, Extra Magic Hours, and access to Disney dining plans. Resort guests also receive airport transpor-tation, and MagicBands.

It is highly recommended that guests download the My Disney Experience app, available for free on both Google Play and the App Store. The app allows guests to create FastPass+ reservations, look up wait times for rides and show times for parades, explore Walt Disney World Resort with the help of a GPS-enabled map, reserve dining, and search for merchandise across the parks, among many other useful tools.

FastPass+

FastPass+ allows guests to pre-book their spot in line at many of Walt Disney World Resort’s most popular attractions. All that is needed is valid theme park admission and a My Disney Experience account. Guests can make FastPass+ reservations on the My Disney Experience app, the Walt Disney World® website, or via kiosks throughout the park.

Guests staying in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can make their FastPass+ selections 60 days before the first day of their visit, for the duration of their stay. Other guests will be able to make their selections 30 days before their visit. Selections are made on a first come, first served basis, so guests are recommended to make their selections as early as possible.
