The Perks of Staying at a Disney Resort
This interview was from 2019, some of these benifits have been modified or are no longer availalbe.
Early Access to FastPass+ and Dining Reservations*
One of the best Disney Resort benefits is early booking access. Resort guests can reserve FastPass+ selections up to 60 days in advance, giving you first dibs on top attractions. Dining reservations open up early too, making it easier to score hard-to-get tables. *FastPass+ has been replaced by LightningLane
Free Transportation to and From the Airport*
Avoid rental car fees and traffic headaches. In 2019, Disney’s Magical Express provided complimentary airport transfers for resort guests—part of the unmatched convenience that defines Disney Resort benefits. *This benifit has been elimiated.
Extra Magic Hours and Park Entry
Extra time in the parks before or after regular hours? Yes, please. Extra Magic Hours let you enjoy select attractions with shorter wait times. Resort guests also received priority theme park admission, especially helpful during high-capacity events.
Free Theme Park Parking
When you stay at a Disney Resort, parking at the theme parks is free. That’s a daily savings that quickly adds up if you’re driving to the parks.
Recreation and Relaxation
From pools to movie nights and fitness centers, guests staying on property unlock recreational privileges that are only available to resort guests. At Coronado Springs, that includes access to the stunning Gran Destino Tower and updated amenities.
