Sleeping at Disney World might seem like an easy part of your adventure, but think again. Between the excitement, the busy mornings, and the unique hotel vibes, catching quality sleep can be a bit of a challenge. Whether you're at a Value or Deluxe Resort, there are some things newcomers should know before their heads hit the pillow. Let's explore what you might not anticipate when trying to sleep at a Disney World hotel and how you can prep for it.
Disney hotels can be surprisingly noisy. Value Resorts, for example, are filled with families and groups, leading to bustling hallways late into the night. Even higher-end resorts aren't free from noise, with fireworks, pool events, and early luggage carts potentially disrupting your sleep. If you're a light sleeper, come prepared with earplugs or a white noise app to block out disturbances.
The TVs in Disney hotels are bright, perfect for daytime but not great when you're trying to sleep. They don’t have a dimming feature, so you might find yourself resorting to your phone or tablet for bedtime viewing.
Early mornings are inevitable if you want to make the most of your park time. Despite blackout curtains, light often sneaks in, and combine this with the bustling of guests heading to the parks, sleeping late isn't easy. An eye mask can help a lot here.
Disney's magical atmosphere can keep you energized well into the night. Consider giving yourself time to wind down before sleeping. This can improve how quickly you nod off and how rested you feel for another thrilling day.
A few additional tips: request a top-floor room to avoid noise from above, use the “Room Occupied” sign if you're sleeping in, and bring your own pillowcase or small blanket for comfort.
