10 Benefits to Staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel

3. Complimentary parking at the theme parks

By staying at a Disney resort, you can enjoy complimentary parking at the theme parks. You may need to pay for overnight parking at your resort, but compared to other offsite options where you would be paying both times this can result in a real savings.

2. Close proximity to the parks

It goes without saying that Disney resorts are close to the parks, but this can really make a world of difference when you have trips that are short on time, or if you’re just traveling with a ‘time is money’ attitude. The Walt Disney World Resort is so large (44 square miles) as it is, so you definitely do not want to spend time in Orlando traffic on top of the time you’ll need to spend getting around the resort.
