We’re only 6 months away from spooky season!
Sooner if you count the fact that Disney starts celebrating Halloween pretty early each year, and we couldn’t be more excited. We’re especially excited for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and all the fun entertainment, snacks, and joy it brings to guests. If you’re planning on attending this year, here are the best Disney World hotels we recommend staying at to be close to the park.
Magic Kingdom Hotels
There are 3 Magic Kingdom area hotels, defined by the fact that they’re on the Resort Monorail line that eventually ends up at Magic Kingdom. These hotels are:
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
All three of these hotels are some of the most expensive around Disney World and are deluxe level, meaning you get perks like Early Entry AND Extended Evening Hours. You’re also a short Monorail ride or walk away from the park, which can be invaluable.
These are ideal because you won’t have a 20+ minute bus ride from the park back to your hotel, which may or may not have multiple stops, and then you’re not getting back to your room until 2AM.
But if those hotels are out of your price range, don’t worry — we have another suggestion!
Fort Wilderness
Fort Wilderness is located in the Magic Kingdom area of the Disney World Resort (which is MASSIVE), but doesn’t have access to the Monorail. However, you can take a bus or boat to Magic Kingdom in under 15 minutes!
At this spot, you can choose to stay in the cabins, which are the more expensive option, or you can bring your own tent and/or RV and camp the old fashioned way!
While the cabins are a few hundred dollars per night, campsites can sometimes be under $100 per night, depending on when you book! For those who already own an RV or have some tents they plan to stake down, that’s a pretty great deal helping you save some serious money on your trip!
A campsite definitely won’t be as cushy as staying in a hotel room, but to some people, saving hundreds of dollars a night is totally worth that.
