Benefits of Staying Onsite

By Magic Maker® Ceciley Sircy

If you know Disney vacations, you know that the magic begins right when you start planning your vacation, and it doesn’t stop there.  The magic is everywhere, including at the Walt Disney World® Resort Hotels.  They each have their own magic and special touches adding even more memories to your vacation experience.  The Walt Disney World® Resort has twenty-two onsite resort hotels that meet any budget and offer wonderful benefits.

Extra Magic Hours are an essential part of staying onsite.  They allow you and your family to enjoy every aspect of the Walt Disney World® theme parks by allowing you to maximize your time.  Extra Magic Hours are rotated among the four theme parks and two water parks allowing either an extra hour in the morning before the park opens or up to three hours extra at night after park closing.  This gives you extra time at the parks without all the crowds so your wait time in line for your favorite attraction is reduced!

Another great benefit is the transportation between your resort and the theme parks.  No matter if you travel by monorail, bus, or boat, your ride to the parks is never more than a twenty minute wait.  There is no hassle in trying to find a parking spot or walking long distances to your vehicle.  In addition, you can have all of your souvenirs sent to your resort, so you do not have to carry them at the theme parks.

Activities at the resorts create more great experiences for the entire family.  Each resort has food courts/restaurants, arcade room, pools and gift shops that bring the magic from the theme parks to your resort.  Your family can also experience other activities at select Walt Disney World® Resort hotels such as boat rentals, carriage rides, fishing and much more.  So if you are looking for a relaxing day at a Disney resort, there are plenty of activities to entertain everyone in your family.

No matter where you stay onsite, the magic of Disney is all around making your trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort one to remember!
