Disney World Hotels

May 26, 2018 By Jason Kinney Leave a Comment

I do prefer to stay at the Disney World hotels on our trips down to Florida.  They may cost a little more, but the benefits easily cover the costs. Come and read some of our favorite Disney World Hotel benefits and check out how to get cheaper airfare: Disney World: Cheap Airfare.

Disney World Hotels Benefits

Magical Express Bus

What we consider our most significant benefit to the Disney World hotels is they provide transportation to/from the Orlando International airport for a lot of different airlines.  Using Disney’s Magical Express means no long taxi ride, shuttle bus fees, or car rental worries.
The Disney Bus services also provide transportation to all the parks, and you can even get to all the other Disney World Hotels. If you do decide to travel away from Disney properties, you can always catch a bus from Disney Springs, or they will even take you to the Disney Car Rental service to rent a car for a day or two.

Luggage Delivery

Luggage Delivery is one of my favorite little perks. When you use the Disney Magical Express Service, you get your luggage delivered to your Disney hotels room at no charge. A few weeks before your trip you get special luggage tags to attach to your bags if you are flying into the Orlando International Airport.

The special tags, allows Disney to grab your bags and deliver them straight to your room, completely free. Luggage delivery frees you and your family up to explore your resort, and you don’t need to cart heavy bags around.

Free Parking

There is no need to pay another parking fee for going in and out of the resorts or parks. Disney hotels guests get free standard parking at theme parks, water parks and in the Disney Springs area.

Extra Magic Hours Disney hotels

If you are staying at the Disney hotels and visiting one of the Disney theme parks you can take advantage of Extra Magic Hours. These are hours the theme park is only open to resort guests. The Extra Magic Hours are either before the park opens for the day or they stay open later after the park closes to normal guests. We try to take advantage of these Extra Magic Hours at Magical Kingdom when they stay open late.

Travel Points

Since we love travel hacking, we are always looking for good travel programs to take advantage of. Disney does not have a real active rewards program and push more of a timeshare approach; it is hard to work towards a free trip using points.  Instead of a Disney Reward Program, this is where a cash back card that gets at least 2% builds up those balances or Ultimate Rewards points through Chase.
You can book Disney hotels through Chase using their travel portal using your points.  You will get 1.25 cents per point for all cards except if you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve which receives 1.5 centers per point.  Watch the Disney website for deals also.  They do offer deals at times where you can get better pricing.

Other Hotel Options

Another option is through Hotels.com.  Amazon and eBay love to post sales on gift cards for hotels.com.  If you can pick up these cards at the 10-20% sale discount over time, it makes a big dent on the hotel stay. Even if you don’t find one of those deals take advantage of getting Disney gift cards at Target to save a few dollars. If you use your Red Card to make those purchases, you will save yourself some money before you even get to Disney World.
With Disney, you have to be creative to beat the costs, but you can get an affordable family vacation. For additional Money Savings tips sign up for our free ebook and money savings guides.
