Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
pensive options pale in comparison to comparably priced luxury resorts elsewhere in Flor-
ida.
Guest Perks
Extra Magic Hours
Each day, one theme park opens early and closes late for guests at
Disney hotels only.
FastPass+ Advanced Reservations
Reserve a one-hour window to FastPass+ lines at
three attractions per person, per day up to 60 days in advance, thus slashing wait times.
Guests staying off-site can reserve attractions up to 30 days in advance. This doesn't seem
like much, but it makes a difference.
Disney transportation
Despite the frustration of tackling Disney buses, boats and mono-
rails, they can be more convenient than off-site hotel shuttles.
Free parking
No fee at theme parks or hotels.
Disney's Magical Express
Complimentary baggage handling and deluxe bus transporta-
tion from Orlando International Airport.
Baggage transfer
If you change to a different Disney hotel during your stay, leave your
bags in the morning and they'll be at your new hotel by evening.
Dining plans
Only resort guests have access to the meal plans.
Universal Orlando Resort Hotels
Universal has only four resort hotels, but they are top quality, extremely well situated
within their more-intimate resort, and highly recommended.
Guest Perks
Early admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Theme-park gates open one
hour early for access to Harry Potter-themed attractions.
Unlimited Express Pass
Up to five guests per room at Universal's three deluxe resort ho-
tels automatically receive unlimited access to Express Pass lines. This is a huge plus,
worth hundreds of dollars, but note that the two major attractions at the Wizarding World of
Harry Potter do not have Express Pass lines.
