Hi John! I’m so glad you stopped in to see us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us your question.
When it comes to staying at Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotels, you won’t really get to enjoy many perks except for the close proximity to the theme parks and possibly complimentary continental breakfast, depending on where you stay.
Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels do offer limited benefits like
Extra Magic Hours and the ability to make your FastPass+ selections 60-days before your vacation.
When it comes to getting the most magic for your buck during your vacation,
Disney Resort hotels will offer the most benefits to you and your family. Some of these benefits include complimentary MagicBands, 60-day
FastPass+ access, rides on Disney’s Magical Express to and from Orlando International Airport and Extra Magic hours, just to name a few.
A quick look at the
Special Offers section on the official Disney site will keep you up to date on all the promotions that could be available during the dates of your next planned visit. You may find that staying within the magic may just be in your vacation budget.
John, remember that you can always come back to see us if you have any other planning questions. Helping you with the details of your next
magical visit is our pleasure!
Veronica
