Video - Why Stay Onsite at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel?
Three
Top Reasons to Stay On-Site at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel:
Disney’s Magical Express – When
guests bound for Disney owned-and-operated hotels are traveling via commercial
airline to Orlando International Airport (MCO), they can arrange for special
luggage tags that allow them to check their bags at their hometown airport,
bypass baggage claim at OIA and board state-of-the-art motor coaches for complimentary
transportation to the Vacation Kingdom, where their bags “magically” appear
in their guestroom. When it’s time to say good-bye, guests board motor coaches
for complimentary transportation back to Orlando International Airport - (MCO).
An extra convenience: Guests traveling on participating airlines can check
their baggage for the return flight at their Disney resort, saving time and
luggage-toting at the airport.
Walt Disney World Transportation System
– A Walt Disney World resort ID is the ticket for buses, monorails and boat
launches that combine to connect virtually all areas of the Vacation Kingdom.
With the convenience of “door-to-door” service throughout the resort, many
guests enjoy their Walt Disney World vacation without a car.
Extra Magic Hours at Walt Disney World
Theme Parks – Each day, Disney hotel guests are offered exclusive time
in a Walt Disney World theme park one hour prior to scheduled park opening
or for up to three hours after park closing. The park varies from day to day.
In addition, Disney water parks sometimes open one hour early for guests of
Disney hotels. To take advantage of the additional time in the parks, guests
must have their hotel ID plus a Magic Your Way ticket valid for the park(s)
offering Extra Magic Hours. (NOTE: Extra Magic Hours of up to two hours after
park close take effect in January-February 2013).
Other
Notable Attributes, BENEFITS And PERKS Of Vacationing At A Walt Disney World
Resort Hotel:
Location, location, location -
With their on-property location convenient to the theme parks, the Disney
hotels are a haven for guests who seek a midday swimming break - or a siesta.
For some guests, the convenience is even more specific… ?
Many families with young children select
accommodations in one of the “monorail resorts” – Disney’s Contemporary
Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort or Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort &
Spa. Reason: location near Magic Kingdom and convenient monorail transportation
between the resorts and Magic Kingdom or Epcot. ?
Many adult couples visiting without
children enjoy the proximity to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios of
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Disney’s BoardWalk
– as well as the nightlife of Disney’s BoardWalk. Walkways and water taxis
connect the three resorts with the theme parks.
Theming - It’s not just a room.
In the same way that Disney’s theme parks offer an escape to a timeless land
of enchantment, a walk down small-town Main Street or a peek at the future,
Disney hotels offer a mix of adventures. Disney Imagineers have created detailed,
themed environments that include the romance and beauty of Africa at Disney’s
Animal Kingdom Lodge to Victorian opulence at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
& Spa.
Youth policy – Guests 17 and under
stay at no additional charge in parents’ rooms (up to the designated capacity
of the room) at Disney resort hotels.
Youth services and facilities –
All Disney resort hotels offer in-room child care for ages 6 months to 12
years in partnership with independent childcare provider Kid’s Nite Out; all
Disney hotels feature kiddie pools (in addition to full-size pools), many
have playgrounds and some have Child Activity Centers for ages 3 to 12.
Online check-in – Guests can take
care of the paperwork that normally accompanies check-in … in the comfort
of their home up to 10 days before their visit. Upon arrival at their hotel,
guests then stop by a special desk, show ID, sign, pick up their room keys
and information packet, and begin enjoying their vacation.
Lobby concierge - One call can
do it all. Each Disney resort hotel offers a lobby concierge to arrange park
tickets, dining reservations and tee times, and to provide helpful hints on
setting up other activities.
Key to the World card – It’s a
hotel room key and much more. Magic Your Way theme park tickets and Disney
Dining Plan entitlements can be built into the card. For easy tracking and
convenience, the card also can be used to charge meals, goods and services
directly to the room, giving the guest a consolidated statement of vacation
purchases.
Merchandise delivery – Purchases
at select shops throughout Walt Disney World Resort can be delivered to the
guest’s Disney hotel at no charge, allowing the guest to play without lugging
packages around the parks.
Exemption from parking fees at the
theme parks – By presenting a resort ID, guests enter parking lots for
free no matter how many parks they visit during their stay.
“Bottomless” drinking mug - Quenching
a vacation-long thirst is easy at Disney’s resorts. Guests can purchase a
mug themed to their resort that will become a keepsake when the holiday ends.
During their length of stay, they can continually refill the mug at designated
locations at their resort.
Preferred tee times - Disney hotel
guests get preferred tee times for Disney’s four championship golf courses
– including two courses that are part of PGA TOUR tradition, having hosted
professional events from the early 1970s to the present.
Transportation to “the tees” –
Golfing guests at Disney owned-and-operated hotelshave complimentary door-to-door
transportation between their resort and Walt Disney World golf facilities
Disney
Cruise Line- Disney Cruise Line offers guests a cruising experience
as fun and exciting as a Disney theme park resort vacation. From the hearts
and minds of Disney's dreammakers come the most imaginative vessels afloat, the Disney Fantasy and her sister ship, the Disney Dream.
