Where to stay

A huge range of hotels, resorts, and private vacation rentals can all be booked as part of Disney World travel packages on Expedia. You'll just need to decide whether you prefer the convenience of an on-site hotel or fancy staying outside the resort instead. Here's what to consider:

On-site: By staying on-site, you'll have easy access to the parks, either on foot or with complimentary shuttles and monorails. Transport to the parks from the hotel is usually included in Disney World vacation packages, keeping things simple and efficient. Being so close to the attractions means you can fit more into your day.

On-site hotels are often Disney-themed too, so you'll enjoy a fully immersive stay. Use the filter on Expedia to find properties that are close to the parks, like Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge®, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel®, and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve®.

Off-site: It can be cheaper to stay off-site on Disney World trips as there's more competition between hotels to keep prices low. Popular areas include Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee, and Bay Lake.

Properties like Orlando World Center Marriott and Buena Vista Suites offer shuttle services to the Disney parks and have their own facilities too if you fancy a change of scene. You also have a choice of luxury hotels here, including the Waldorf Astoria, Hyatt Regency, and Ritz-Carlton. If you'd prefer not to sleep in a Disney-themed hotel to avoid sensory overload, then staying off-site is the answer.

Cost of vacation packages to Disney World

A 2024 Disney World flight and hotel package could cost from $375. For your convenience, many bundles include everything from accommodation and transfers to meals and Disney World tickets. Packages on Expedia can be tailored to your budget, so you know you're getting a good deal.

Play around with dates to see how they affect the cost of your trip. Traveling mid-week or outside the school summer vacation period can significantly reduce the price. You can also try changing your hotel location for a cheaper rate. Staying outside the resort can cost a lot less than an on-site hotel.

FAQs for Disney World vacations

Is booking Disney as a package more cost-effective?

Walt Disney packages can work out cheaper than buying all the elements of your vacation separately. You can bundle together everything you need on Expedia, including flights, accommodation, park tickets, and even other attractions in the area. The search engine will pull together prices for a huge number of different hotels and flights to quickly display some of the best prices for your chosen itinerary. Booking a package is also more convenient and hassle-free, so you can just sit back and enjoy your vacation.

What is the cheapest month to visit Walt Disney World® Resort?

The most expensive time to visit Walt Disney World® Resort is during the school vacation periods when prices are at their highest. You will enjoy extended park opening hours and special events during the summer, so there are benefits to visiting at this time of year. If you can be flexible with your dates and don't mind the cooler weather, you'll find that Disney World packages are cheaper in the off-season months. Some of the best rates can be found on stays between January and March, as well as November.

What's included in a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation package?

The benefit of booking Disney World hotel and flight packages is that everything you need for your vacation is included. That way, you don't need to worry about having to pay for extra elements and can just enjoy your stay stress-free. Your package can include as much or as little as you like, so you can fully customize your trip. On Expedia, you can add everything from flights and hotels to car rentals and tours to your package. Activities can always be added on later if required, too.

How much does a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation package cost?

The price of Orlando Disney packages varies according to the standard of hotel you choose. Rates for 2024 Disney World vacations could cost from $375. You can use the filters on Expedia to set a minimum and maximum price to find properties and rentals that best suit your budget and travel style. Your length of stay also determines the overall price, so consider going for a shorter period if you're keeping an eye on your costs. If you stay at one of the on-site resorts or hotels, you'll be closer to the parks, so you can make the most of your day rather than spending time traveling.

Can you visit both Walt Disney World® Resort and Universal Studios® on one trip?

Absolutely—Walt Disney World® Resort and Universal Studios® are just 9 miles apart, so it's easy to combine the 2 in a single trip. You can even stay at the same hotel to keep things easy and hassle-free. To make the most of both attractions, a 6-day stay is recommended. That way, you can visit all 4 of the Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks and also spend a couple of days at Universal Studios®. Don't have that much time? Split your days equally between the 2, as each has so much to offer.

How far in advance should you book a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation package?

For some of the best deals, it's a good idea to book Disney World vacations well ahead of your visit. Prices can rise in the weeks leading up to a stay, so it's usually cheaper to make reservations months in advance. You can sometimes find discounted prices at the last minute, but this isn't guaranteed, so it's best to play it safe. If you're including an international flight in your Disney World package, you can normally book these 12 months in advance on Expedia. By making an early reservation, you'll also have a choice of seats.

Are flights included in Disney World packages?

Yes, you can easily add either domestic or international flights to Disney World vacations by using Expedia. It's often cheaper to bundle your accommodation and airfare together, so this is a great way to keep costs down. The nearest airport is Orlando International Airport, just 17 miles away. Most hotels will offer airport transfers, but if this is something you need, use the filter on Expedia to ensure that a shuttle is provided.

If you can't travel, can you cancel Disney World vacation packages?

When you book trips to Disney World on Expedia, many hotels give the option of free cancellation. The rate is sometimes higher than a non-refundable price, but if you think your plans might change, this can give you peace of mind. You might also be able to make changes for free if you've booked your Disney World Orlando packages within the last 24 hours. Check the booking conditions so you know what to expect.
