Disney knows what it's doing when it comes to lodging, as it offers serious incentives for staying at one of its resorts, among them free transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport (via Disney's Magical Express) and parks, Extra Magic Hours, and the opportunity to book your Fastpasses 60 days in advance (for everyone else, it's 30 days).
This is not to mention the fact that the resort staff will know everything (you'd be surprised) there is to know about Disney, which certainly comes in handy when trying to fit so much into your trip. Check out the hotel resort list to assess which of the 25 options, ranging from value to deluxe villas, is the best fit for you.
Bonus tip: Many of the Disney Resort hotels also offer their own special attractions, such as exclusive character greetings and dining experiences. You can also save money by spending a day at the pool or participating in free events, such as Disney film screenings.
