Walt Disney World Resorts

Benefits to Staying "On Property"

No matter which you choose, staying at an official Disney resort is chock full of benefits including:
  • Proximity to Disney Parks
  • Complimentary Airport Service
  • Complimentary Internal Resort Transportation
  • Extra Magic Hours at the Parks
  • 60 day Advanced FastPass+ Reservations (currently suspended)
  • Free WiFi at your resort, parks, and on buses!
  • Beautifully themed rooms and resort grounds

 What is Extra Magic Hours? Walt Disney World offers a special perk to their resort guests that gives you extra time in their (4) major theme parks, under Extra Magic Hours.  Non-resort guest does not enjoy these benefits.  For a limited time Walt Disney World theme parks are offering Extra-Extra Magic Hours, giving resort guests the opportunity to explore parks on specific days for up to 3 hours prior to normal park opening! 

What is FastPass+?  All ticket holders, regardless of a resort stay, are allowed a 30 day advance opportunity to reserve attraction experiences.  Guests staying on Disney property enjoy a 
60 day advance window to make your FastPass+ reservations - a big jump over non-resort guests! (Currently Suspended)
Disney Resort Amenity Chart
Disney World is host to several "good neighbor" resorts.  A limited number of the Disney Springs area good neighbor resorts do offer some of the perks that the official resorts offer.  Please contact your favorite adventurer to learn more!
Choosing the resort that suits you best is the first step I encourage clients to consider.  Disney offers a plethora of "on property" options that cater to every clients needs. When choosing the resort that is right for you, think about the following:
  1. What parks do you anticipate you will be spending most of your time at? For some it's primarily Magic Kingdom; others want to be where they can easily get to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Other guests are happy just staying at an official Walt Disney Resort regardless to proximity to park. Does location have any bearing on your choice? 
  2. The internal Disney bus system is fantastic, convenient, and efficient! But some guests want to be able to have lots of choices.  Some resorts are bus to, walk to, boat to, and monorail to!! Guests with strollers may find that staying at a "monorail resort" to be easier so baby doesn't have be taken out of the stroller for the commute from park/resort.  Do you want to have many choices on transportation to/from parks and resort, or is the Disney Bus System good enough? 
  3. We all have to determine our vacation budget, and  the resort stay is the largest component to a Disney Vacation package price.  Walt Disney World offers 3 different levels of resorts (Value, Moderate, and Deluxe/Deluxe Villas); all of which are unique and exciting places to stay.  The levels of resorts cater to all budgets large and small. Do you have a tight budget? or do you have a budget that affords you a luxury stay?
  4. All of Disney's resorts offer pools, recreation, and eateries - but each resort has a special them of it's own.  From beachy options to wilderness, there are so many choices.  Disney offers character heavy pop culture resorts, as well as classically refined to modern feel.  What environment attracts you the most?

Magnificent Murals revealed at Disney's riviera resort
By: Disney Destinations
December 3, 2019

​We’re just a short time away from opening the doors to Disney’s Riviera Resort, the newest resort coming to Walt Disney World® Resort. The excitement is building as all of the finishing touches and details are coming into place.
We previously gave you a first look at a walkway tunnel at Disney’s Riviera Resort that features two spectacular mosaic murals. In that earlier sneak peek, we revealed that the magical scene of one mural is London at night, with Peter Pan, Wendy, Michael and John flying off to Never Land.
Today, we're sharing the second mural that depicts Rapunzel’s floating lantern scene from “Tangled.”
If you noticed the connection to flight in both murals, you have a keen sense of storytelling. Both of the mosaics – Rapunzel’s floating lantern scene and Peter Pan soaring over the London sky – celebrate flight. So it’s no coincidence that this tunnel walkway leads to the Disney Skyliner station at Disney’s Riviera Resort, where your Clients can step aboard and glide across the sky by aerial gondola to destinations across Walt Disney World Resort.

More than 1 million hand-cut tiles were laid by hand to create this stunning work of art that rises 20 feet in the air and is joined at the ceiling by a shared mosaic sky. These are just some of the intricate and thoughtful details you’ll notice throughout Disney’s Riviera Resort. We can’t wait for you to discover more!

Disney’s Riviera Resort is under construction now and projected to open Dec. 16, 2019. Book your trip with your favorite Adventurer's Navigation Co. Travel Agent today!
