When it comes to staying at a Walt Disney World hotel, timing can be everything.
If you’re lodging at visiting Disney World in 2026, there are some somewhat strict curfews you need to be aware of, especially if you’re planning to grab a bite or take a swim after a long day at the theme parks.
These days, there’s construction going on all OVER Disney World.
There are projects underway in all four parks to add new lands (like Villains Land and Tropical Americas), update attractions (like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster), and just conduct general maintenance. But we can’t forget about construction at the resorts! Recently, a new permit was filed for construction at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
Are you already planning a Disney World trip for 2027 and are wondering if you should stay on Disney World property? We totally understand what a big decision that can be!
Staying at a hotel on Disney World property can be so incredibly magical and can sometimes make your trip easier. You’ve got free transportation to and from your hotel and the parks and Disney Springs, you’re surrounded by Disney magic constantly throughout your trip, and many guests feel that, by staying on property, they fully step away from the stress of the world for a few days. However, it’s EXPENSIVE, even if you’re staying at one of the Value Resorts, and you may be weighing whether the perks of staying on property are worth the cost. To help you decide, here’s a rundown of ALL the hotel perks we know you can get in 2027!
Disney World has some great hotels and they make it pretty sweet to stay there!

Grand Floridian Resort
Disney offers you perks for staying at their hotels, like Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Hours, advanced Lightning Lane booking, and free water park tickets, just to name a few. There are also occasionally promotions you can participate in, like Free Dining, where Disney will add a Dining Plan to your package for no additional cost. Pretty great, huh? But it all comes with a price point. We know Disney resorts can be pricey, but we’re thinking that this upgrade to your resort is totally worth it!
While the main point of a Disney World vacation is to visit the resort’s four theme parks, there are some days when it’s better to do NOTHING but kick back and enjoy one’s hotel.
These Do-Nothing Days usually consist of spending time relaxing at one’s hotel and taking advantage of its amenities, including pools, walking trails, bodies of water, and dining establishments. While some guests may initially recoil at the idea of “wasting” one of their vacation days outside of the parks, there are some definite benefits.
One of Disney World’s budget-friendly — and most popular — hotels just went through some big changes!
Over the last few years, the Value Tier Pop Century Resort has been undergoing a refurbishment and refreshment process that has touched all corners of the fan-favorite resort, including the lobby, pool bar, food court, and even the guest rooms.
When you have dozens of hotels in Disney World, at least one of them is likely getting a refurbishment at a time!
Over at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, you’ll find some of the coolest hotel rooms that Disney World has to offer — Treehouse Villas! These villas are massive and great for a large party, but they’re a bit outdated. Thankfully, they’re now getting refurbished.
Staying at one of Disney World’s deluxe hotels should feel like an instant upgrade the second you walk through the doors.
These resorts are gorgeous, iconic, and some of the most expensive hotel stays on property. When you are paying deluxe-level prices, there are certain things that just feel like they should already be included. So today, we’re talking about four things Disney World’s most expensive hotels desperately need if they want to fully live up to that luxury price tag.
