Disney Resort List

Below is a list of the Walt Disney World Resorts. They are listed by resort category: deluxe, deluxe villa, moderate, and value.

Deluxe Resorts

Deluxe resorts are the finest hotels at Disney World. From the Grand Floridian, Disney’s iconic red-roof hotel, to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, where you can wake up to animals grazing on a savanna below, these hotels offer plenty of extras. They also come with an expensive price tag! Deluxe resorts are often the most appealing on paper. However, they aren’t always the right choice, depending on your budget and other factors.

Villas

These resorts are all part of the Disney Vacation Club. Disney World Villas are expensive but offer larger accommodations with amenities similar to home. Many call these resorts or resort areas homes away from home.

Moderate Resorts

Disney’s moderate resorts are in the middle category. They aren’t the cheapest or the most expensive. However, most are spread across large grounds, so you will likely have to increase your step count. Naturally, a few exceptions exist, such as Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs and Port Orleans French Quarter, which feel more like boutique resorts. Coronado Springs, Caribbean Beach, and Port Orleans Riverside are large but truly beautiful resorts.

Value Resorts

These value resorts are the most budget-friendly options at Walt Disney World. Disney’s All-Star Resorts, Pop Century, and Art of Animation fall under this category. Pop Century and Art of Animation are considered a step up because they offer access to the Disney Skyliner, while the All-Star Resorts offer only bus transportation.

Disney Resorts By Location

In addition to pricing categories, the resorts can be categorized by location. Here is a list of each resort location at Disney World.

Disney Resort Refurbishments

We recommend checking Disney’s Resort Refurbishment Schedule when planning a vacation. You probably wouldn’t want to stay at Disney’s Grand Floridian during a major overhaul, or plan a trip to the Beach Club when its incredible pool area is closed for refurbishment. These things happen and are necessary. We keep a list of what’s going on at the hotels. However, sometimes things are scheduled after you book. If so, Disney will notify you. Then you can decide whether to stay based on the stipulations or move to another resort. In some instances, Disney has to move guests. If so, they will reach out and offer other options.
