Disney World Hotels Reviews 2024: Pros + Cons of Every Walt Disney World Hotel
Walt Disney World Resort offers more than 25 Resort hotels to select from which vary from budget-friendly offerings to luxury accommodations. Guests staying at Walt Disney World get free transportation to the theme parks which is a huge plus since the size of Walt Disney World Resort is larger than that of San Francisco.
There are plenty of perks to staying on-site at Walt Disney World aside from transportation including Early Entry into the theme parks and Extended Evening Hours for those staying in deluxe accommodations. Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort also get the benefit of being inside the Walt Disney World “bubble” as it's affectionately called by Walt Disney World fans. This means that your entire vacation experience takes place within Disney and helps immerse you in the magic from the time you arrive at your hotel.
There are three different categories of Walt Disney World hotels that separate the hotels based on price and amenities offered. These three categories are value, moderate, and luxury. I have stayed at hotels in all three of these categories and can offer my own perspective as someone who visits Walt Disney World numerous times throughout the year. Let's break down each of these hotel categories, what is included in each, and our reviews of all the Walt Disney World resort hotels.
Why Stay in a Walt Disney World Hotel?
Walt Disney World hotels offer perks like free on-site transportation, early access into the theme parks every morning, access into the parks after hours for deluxe hotels, plus the immersive quality of staying inside the Walt Disney World bubble. Plus on-site Walt Disney World guests get first access to restaurant, entertainment, and Genie+ reservations. These advantages all make staying on-site at Walt Disney World an easy decision!
The on-site hotels are all owned by Walt Disney World and are highly themed and designed to further the experience that you've had visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks. The hotels are also located in the center of the magic on Walt Disney World property so you'll truly be immersed throughout your entire vacation.
Guests staying at Walt Disney World hotels also can use Magic Bands which are wristbands that link to your reservations and Walt Disney World tickets, allowing you to unlock your resort room, enter theme parks, purchase food and merchandise, and connect PhotoPass photos, all with a simple swipe of your wrist.
Before you decide where to stay, you might want to consider when you'll visit Disney World. Check out our guide to when to visit Disney World 2024.
Discount Walt DisneyWorld Hotel Packages

Walt Disney World Hotels Value Resorts
The Walt Disney World value resorts stand supreme as the most affordable and most kid-friendly resorts at Walt Disney World. Decorated with larger-than-life characters, intricate theming, bright colors, and fun swimming pools (without slides), any of these resorts are fantastic choices to make memories with your family.
These Disney World value resorts also feature limited dining and service options as well as the smallest hotel rooms of any Walt Disney World resort, but your wallet will appreciate the low cost as long as your family can fit inside.
You can also read our breakdown of the top 9 cheapest hotels at Walt Disney World for more on how to save money on your hotel during your Walt Disney World trip.
For our reviews of all the Walt Disney World value hotels, we are going to list them in order of least expensive to most expensive. This is just a general ranking as prices fluctuate but this gives you an idea of what to expect.
The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $56 per night
Close to: Magic Kingdom
Room Specifics: Tent or pop-up campsite sleeps up to ten in a 10 x 25-foot space; Full hook-up campsite for an RV plus a tent sleeps up to ten in a 10 x 50-foot space; Preferred campsite with sewage hookup for an RV plus a small tent sleeps up to ten in a 10 x 45-foot space; Premium campsite for a larger RV sleeps up to 10 in an 18 x 60-foot space
Recreation: Horseback Trail Ride, Wilderness Swimmin' Pool, Settlement Trading Post, Meadow Trading Post, Meadow Recreation Area with pool and tennis courts, Daniel Boone's Wilderness Arcade, Fort Wilderness Archery Experience, Segway Tour, Chuck Wagon, Waggin' Trails Dog Parks, Marina/Boat Launch with fishing and boat rentals, Hoop De Hoo Musical Revue Dinner Theatre, Tri-Circle-D Ranch with a horse barn and pony rides, horse drawn-excursions, Chip and Dale's Campfire Sing-a-Long, Electrical Water Pageant, swimming, hiking, biking, sports, kayaking, and more
Dining: Trails End Restaurant, Hoop De Hoo Musical Revue Dinner Theatre, Chip & Dale's Campfire Sing-a-Long, Meadow Snack Bar
Pros: A wide variety of recreation opportunities, close to wildlife, serene & beautiful setting, the cheapest option to stay at World Disney World, pet-friendly
Cons: Fewer conveniences make it difficult for families with mobility issues or those desiring a more comfortable stay, tent camping may not be for everyone
This is a good choice for guests who enjoy camping and want to save significant money on your Walt Disney World hotel stay. But this is a bit unconventional option as not everyone will have all the equipment on hand to do tent camping at Walt Disney World especially if coming out of state. This is definitely the option for the outdoorsy family!
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $112 per night
Close to: Animal Kingdom
Room Specifics: Rooms sleep four in 260 square feet (two full-sized beds)
Recreation: Sport Goofies Gifts and Sundries, Surfboard Bay Pool, Grand Slam Pool, Game Point Arcade, Playground
Dining: End Zone Food Court, Team Spirits Pool Bar
Pros: One of the most affordable resort options, the first stop on the shared bus means a shorter wait for the bus and available seats, often the cheapest hotel at Walt Disney World- cheaper than the other value resorts.
Cons: Rooms are not ideal for larger families, fewer recognizable characters mean lower child appeal, and the first stop on the bus loop means that you will be making more stops before driving to the theme parks. This is also a resort that often hosts many school athletic teams.
Disney's All-Star Sports is the cheapest of the hotel options it is an actual hotel room and not a campsite! The theming for this hotel is not as appealing to guests as the All-Stars Music or Movies so this is why this is often priced the lowest. If you are looking for the absolute cheapest way to stay on-site at Walt Disney World, without pitching a tent, this is the way to go.
Disney's All-Star Music Resort
Starting Price: $112 per night
Close to: Animal Kingdom
Room Specifics: Standard rooms sleep four in 260 square feet (two full-sized beds); Family Suites sleep six in 520 square feet (one queen-sized bed, one queen-sized sofa bed, two twin-sized sofa beds) with two bathrooms and a kitchenette
Recreation: Maestro Mickey's Shopping, Calypso Pool, Piano Pool, Note'able Games Arcade, Playground
Dining: Intermission Food Court, Singing Spirits Pool Bar
Pros: One of the most affordable resort options and there are suites for larger families available.
Cons: Rooms are not ideal for larger families, fewer recognizable characters means lower child appeal
Disney's All-Star Music doesn't have too heavy of a Disney theme but like All-Star Sports the price for this one is often the most reasonable out of the rest of the Disney World value resorts. Kids generally love this larger-than-life theming of the value resorts.
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort
Starting Price: $112 per night
Close to: Animal Kingdom
Room Specifics: Rooms sleep four in 260 square feet with two full-sized beds.
Recreation: Fantasia Pool, Duck Pond Pool, Reel Fun Arcade, Playground, Donald's Double Feature Shopping
Dining: World Premiere Food Court, Silver Screen Spirits Pool Bar
Pros: Kid-friendly, celebrates Walt Disney films, one of the most affordable resort options, and this is the last stop on the shared bus loop for the other Disney World hotels in this area which means a shorter trip to the park.
Cons: Rooms are not ideal for larger families and not all movies represented at this Disney World hotel are well known by children.
Out of all the Disney All-Star Resorts, the Disney All-Star Movies is our favorite since most of the characters at this resort will be known by kids and adults. Some of the characters may be a bit out of date but overall, still represent some fun theming.
Disney's Pop Century Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $131 per night
Close to: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Room Specifics: Refurbished standard rooms sleep four in 260 square feet (two queen- sized beds) with coffeemakers; Not-yet-refurbished standard rooms sleep four (two full-sized beds) in 260 feet without coffeemakers
Recreation: Computer Pool, Hippy Dippy Pool, Bowling Pool, Kiddie Pool, playground, Everything Pop gift shop
Dining: Classic Hall Food Court
Pros: One of the most affordable resort options, multiple room options for families of various sizes, best Value Resort for those with mobility issues, has its own bus system for convenience, largest pool and waterslide space among the Value Resorts
Cons: Uninteresting dining options, rooms are not ideal for larger families
Disney's Pop Century is my favorite value resort. It has great Skyliner access and the smaller size of the resort means that you really can't go wrong with any section that you're placed in. The theme of the resort is also fun and nostalgic for most adults, making it one of our picks for the best Disney World resorts for adults.
Read our full review and photo tour of the Pop Century Resort to see why this is our favorite value hotel!>
Disney's Art of Animation Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $157 per night for the Little Mermaid standard rooms/Family Suites (Cars, Lion King, and Finding Nemo themes) start at $348 per night.
Close to: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Room Specifics: Family suites available in the Cars, Finding Nemo, and Lion King areas that sleep six (one queen, one full, and one sofa bed) in over 500 square feet; Standard rooms available in the Little Mermaid area that sleep four in 260 square feet (two full-sized beds)
Recreation: Pixel Play Arcade, Ink & Paint Shop Collectibles, Cozy Cone Pool, The Big Blue Pool, Schoolyard Sprayground, Righteous Reef Playground, Flippin' Fins Pool, Elephant Graveyard
Dining: Landscape of Flavors, The Drop Off Pool Bar
Pros: Standard rooms are one of the most affordable resort options, multiple room options for families of various sizes, continually rated the highest of all Value Resorts, has its own bus system for convenience, dog-friendly. This is the newest of the Value Resorts and it is extremely popular because of price and amenities.
Cons: The Little Mermaid rooms are far away from the transportation and main lobby.
Art of Animation features two different styles of options: standard-sized rooms themed to Little Mermaid and family suites themed in Cars, Finding Nemo, and Lion King. The price for the suites puts the cost of this hotel a bit closer to the moderate category but these are also the cheapest family suites you will find on-property at Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World Hotels Moderate Resorts
Disney World Moderate Resorts are more expensive than the Value Resorts, and they offer several additional amenities in exchange. Rooms are bigger, waterslides are added to the pools, and most resorts offer table service restaurants in addition to food courts. The exterior and landscaping get a significant upgrade, which adults will appreciate more than children.
It's important to note that Moderate resorts are generally located in less convenient locations than the other higher-end resort classes, but they are still on property and offer fantastic amenities and bucolic settings.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $208 per night
Close to: Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios
Room Specifics: Resort buildings divided into the five villages of Jamaica, Aruba, Martinique, Trinidad South, and Trinidad North that sleep four to five in 314 square feet (either two queen-sized beds, two queen-sized beds and one pull out bed; Special pirate-themed rooms sleep four in 314 square feet (two full-sized beds)
Recreation: Fuentes del Morro Pool and Aqua Pool Area, Campfire, Caribbean Cay Playground, Movie Under the Stars, Merchandise Kiosk
Dining: Island Markets, Food Truck, Bar, Food & Beverage Buffet
Pros: Vibrant & fun theming, spacious rooms
Cons: Mediocre & limited dining, rooms are far from hotel's central services, lack of elevators and overly complex bus system are difficult for families with mobility issues, rooms are not ideal for larger families
The Caribbean Beach Resort is one of my favorite moderate hotels at Walt Disney World due to its easy access to the Disney Skyliner and the immersive pool area that kids will love. While the dining here is a bit lackluster, the ease of the Skyliner makes it possible for a quick stop to enjoy better dining next door at the deluxe Riveria Resort hotel.
We loved the use of the Disney Skylinere here, read our recent review from our stay!>
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort
Disney World Hotel Starting Price: $217 per night
Close to: Animal Kingdom
Room Specifics: Rooms sleep four in 314 square feet (two queen-sized beds); bathrooms made for double occupancy feature additional privacy features
Recreation: Convention Business Center, La Vida Health Club, Casa de Belleza Beauty Salon, Casitas Village Pool, Ranchos Village Pool, Cabanas Village Pool, Lost City of Cibola Feature Pool, Siestas Cantina Iguana Arcade, Explorer's Playground Volleyball Court, Jogging Trail
Dining: Pepper Market, Laguna Bar, Maya Grill, Rix Lounge, Cafe Rix
Pros: Many more amenities than other similarly-priced resorts because of the convention center, the most centrally located of all Moderate Resorts
Cons: Low child appeal, large crowds can form in dining locations during conventions, rooms are not ideal for larger families
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is an interesting moderate-level Walt Disney World Resort since it also includes access to the new Gran Destino Tower which offers stays that are closer to that of a deluxe stay. The newly built tower includes grand decor, bars, and great on-site dining options. You will pay a lesser price to stay in the older rooms, outside of the tower, but while still enjoying all the amenities the Gran Destino Tower has to offer.

Cons: Fewer conveniences make it difficult for families with mobility issues or those desiring a more comfortable stay, most expensive than other Moderate Resorts, lower child appeal
Walt Disney World Hotels Deluxe Resorts
Walt Disney World hotel deluxe resorts have the nicest grounds and rooms with best service and dining, which comes with a price increase.
Unlike the Walt Disney World hotel moderate resorts, deluxe resorts will generally appeal to both children and adults, making it a good choice for families. Guests will enjoy reveling in unique and exciting theming with many recreation options.

Walt Disney World Hotels Deluxe Studios and Villas
The Disney Parks and Resorts have their own set of timeshares that they call the Disney Vacation Club. Through the program, you can buy a share of a room at any of the hotels that are a part of the program. Anyone can book a night in these studios and villas, even if you aren't a member, via the Disney Vacation Club rentals program
You may choose to stay in one of these studios or villas because they offer significantly more comfort and space for large families staying for an extended period of time. Many offer kitchenettes or full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, patios and balconies, game rooms, and washer/dryer units. Most of these options are associated with another Disney World deluxe resort, but some stand freely as just a Disney Vacation Club location.
