Walt Disney World currently has 31 Disney Resort Hotels when you count the properties Disney lists under its official Disney Resort Hotels collection. That includes Value, Moderate and Deluxe hotels, Disney Deluxe Villas, plus The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
The number can look confusing because Disney counts several villa properties separately from the neighboring hotel, and its broader resort directory also includes the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin and Swan Reserve.
If you simply want the complete Disney resort list, here is the current breakdown:
| Disney World resort category | Number |
|---|---|
| Value Resorts | 5 |
| Moderate Resorts | 4 |
| Deluxe Resorts | 8 |
| Deluxe Villas | 13 |
| Campground | 1 |
| Total Disney Resort Hotels | 31 |
If you want to compare the hotels rather than simply count them, use our Disney World resort comparison chart.
Complete list of Disney World resorts
Here are all 31 Disney Resort Hotels organized using Disney’s current resort categories.
Disney Value Resorts: 5
- Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
- Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
- Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
- Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
- Disney’s Pop Century Resort
These are Disney’s lowest-priced conventional resort hotels. They focus on large-scale Disney theming, quick-service dining and relatively simple rooms.
Transportation varies within the category. All three All-Star Resorts rely primarily on buses, while Pop Century and Art of Animation also connect to the Disney Skyliner.
If this is the price range you’re considering, compare our Disney World Value Resorts. Art of Animation is also different from the others because it offers Family Suites in addition to its Little Mermaid standard rooms.
Disney Moderate Resorts: 4
- Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
- Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
- Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
- Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
Disney currently has four Moderate Resorts.
An older Disney resort list may show five because The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort were previously treated differently. Disney now lists the rebuilt Cabins as a Disney Vacation Club property in the Deluxe Villas category.
The four Moderate Resorts also have very different transportation setups. Caribbean Beach is the only Moderate connected to the Skyliner, while both Port Orleans properties provide boat transportation to Disney Springs. Coronado Springs relies primarily on buses.
Use our Disney World Moderate Resorts comparison to compare them, or read the individual guides to Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs.
Disney Deluxe Resorts: 8
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Disney’s Beach Club Resort
- Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
- Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
The eight Deluxe Resorts generally offer stronger park locations, more dining, expanded transportation choices and a wider range of premium room categories.
Location is one of the biggest reasons to pay more. Contemporary, Grand Floridian and Polynesian are connected to the Magic Kingdom monorail system, while Beach Club, Yacht Club and BoardWalk Inn sit around Crescent Lake near EPCOT.
Compare the full category in our Disney World Deluxe Resorts guide.
Disney Deluxe Villas: 13
- Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
- The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort
- Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village
- Disney’s Beach Club Villas
- Disney’s BoardWalk Villas
- Disney’s Old Key West Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows
- Disney’s Riviera Resort
- Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
- The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
This category is one reason counting Disney World resorts gets confusing.
Some Deluxe Villas are attached to or share grounds with a conventional Deluxe hotel. Bay Lake Tower sits next to the Contemporary, for example, while Beach Club Villas are part of the larger Beach Club complex. Disney still lists these villa properties separately in its resort inventory.
Other villa resorts, including Old Key West, Saratoga Springs and Riviera, operate as their own resort destinations.
The larger villas can also be very different from hotel rooms. One-bedroom and larger accommodations generally include full kitchens, living areas and laundry facilities, while Deluxe Studios typically have smaller kitchenette setups.
Our Disney Vacation Club resorts guide explains these properties in more detail. You do not need to own Disney Vacation Club to stay in every villa accommodation.
Disney campground: 1
- The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Disney lists The Campsites at Fort Wilderness separately under the Campgrounds category.
The Campsites should not be confused with The Cabins at Fort Wilderness. The newer Cabins are now a Disney Vacation Club property listed under Deluxe Villas, while the Campsites remain the campground option for tents and RVs.
Why does Disney’s website sometimes show 34 resorts?
Disney’s main online resort directory currently shows 34 resort entries in its primary list.
That figure includes the 31 Disney Resort Hotels above plus:
- Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel;
- Walt Disney World Swan Hotel; and
- Walt Disney World Swan Reserve.
Those hotels are located inside the Walt Disney World Resort area and participate in some Disney guest benefits, but they are not Disney Resorts Collection hotels in the same way as the 31 properties listed above.
Disney’s site also surfaces other nearby properties such as the Four Seasons and Disney Springs Resort Area hotels, which is another reason searches for the total number of Disney World hotels can produce different answers.
Why do some Disney World resort counts look much lower?
Some lists group a Deluxe hotel and its Disney Vacation Club property together.
For example, someone may think of Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower as one overall resort complex. Disney’s own hotel listings treat them as separate resort entries.
The same issue appears at Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club and BoardWalk.
For consistency, the 31 count on this page follows Disney’s own current list of Disney Resort Hotels rather than trying to combine neighboring properties.
Which Disney World resorts have the Skyliner?
Four Disney Resort Hotels are directly connected to the Disney Skyliner:
- Disney’s Art of Animation Resort;
- Disney’s Pop Century Resort;
- Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort; and
- Disney’s Riviera Resort.
The Skyliner connects these hotels with EPCOT’s International Gateway and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
See our full guide to Disney World Skyliner resorts if transportation is one of your main criteria.
Which Disney World resorts are on the monorail?
Three Disney Resort hotels are directly served by the Resort Monorail:
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort;
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort; and
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
These are particularly useful for Magic Kingdom-focused vacations. Compare them in our guide to the Disney World monorail resorts.
You can also compare the hotels within walking distance of Magic Kingdom if avoiding buses is the priority.
Which Disney resorts are closest to EPCOT?
Beach Club, Yacht Club and BoardWalk Inn sit in the EPCOT resort area around Crescent Lake, with walking and boat access to EPCOT’s International Gateway.
The neighboring Beach Club Villas and BoardWalk Villas provide similar location advantages for guests staying in DVC accommodations.
See our list of hotels within walking distance of EPCOT for the full comparison.
Do all 31 Disney resorts get the same benefits?
No. There are benefits shared across Disney Resort Hotels, and there are others tied to particular categories or properties.
Disney Resort hotel guests currently receive benefits including 30-minute Early Theme Park Entry, complimentary Disney transportation and earlier access to eligible Lightning Lane purchases.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are more limited. Disney currently offers them to eligible guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Disney Deluxe Villas on select nights.
Our Disney Resort hotel benefits guide explains what comes with staying on property and which perks depend on your resort category.
Which Disney resort should you choose?
Knowing that there are 31 options does not make the choice much easier, so narrow the list using the part of the trip that matters most to you.
- Lowest hotel cost: start with the five Value Resorts.
- Skyliner access: compare Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach and Riviera.
- Magic Kingdom transportation: look closely at Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian.
- Walking access to EPCOT: compare Beach Club, Yacht Club and BoardWalk.
- Need space for five or more: look at Family Suites and larger villa accommodations.
- Need a kitchen: focus on Deluxe Villas and selected Family Suites.
- Want the lowest possible discounted rate: compare current promotions across several resort categories rather than choosing the hotel first.
For larger parties, use our guides to Disney World hotels for a family of five and Disney World hotels with suites.
