Why Stay On-Site

stay inside the Disney bubble.

Part of the magic of Disney World is that it feels like a whole other world. When you stay off-site, you leave that world at the end of every day and head back into Orlando, the real world. When you stay on-site, you get to stay inside the bubble, plus you unlock a whole list of perks.

Why it matters

On-Property Benefits

Early Park Entry

Every Disney resort guest gets into the parks 30 minutes before they open to the public, every single day. Get to the biggest attractions before the crowds, with little to no wait.

Extended Evening Hours

Guests at Deluxe Resorts can stay in select parks after they close to everyone else. That means shorter waits and extra time soaking up the magic at night.

Lightning Lanes

On-site guests can book Lightning Lanes 7 days before arrival for their whole stay. Off-site guests can only book 3 days out, so staying on property means you get first pick of the best return times.

Dining Reservations

I'll book your dining reservations 60 days before your check-in date for your entire trip. That head start helps you land the hard-to-get tables before off-site guests can even try.

Dining Plans

When you stay on property, you can add a Disney Dining Plan to your package. It's an easy way to lock in your food budget ahead of time so meals are one less thing to think about.

Free Transportation

Your resort connects you to all four parks and Disney Springs by bus, boat, Skyliner, or monorail. No driving, no parking, no scheduling needed.

Free Parking

Overnight self-parking is complimentary at your Disney resort, and resort guests also get complimentary standard parking at all the theme parks.

Refunds & Payment Plans

Book a vacation package and stay on-site, and everything is refundable, with payments you can make along the way. (Tickets booked on their own are nonrefundable and paid in full at booking.)
