One of the most important aspects of planning a trip to Walt Disney World is choosing the right hotel. While Disney’s on-property hotels have been part of the experience since the beginning — and we certainly love them — they’re not the ONLY way to stay at the “Most Magical Place on Earth. “
What a view!
Just off of Disney’s property proper, there are Disney’s Good Neighbor Hotels. Located near Disney World and in the surrounding areas, these hotels are not owned by Disney but instead have partnerships with the company, including typically having a person on staff at each hotel who can help you with your Disney World vacation. Good Neighbor Hotels range in cost from Value Resort pricing to Deluxe Resort pricing, and some offer the same benefits you’d get in a Disney World Resort Hotel, like Early Theme Park Entry and free transportation — but not all of them have these perks!
Some guests prefer staying at Good Neighbor Hotels — especially those that offer the same benefits of staying on property — because they tend to be more malleable financially, and for some (believe it or not), the idea of not being completely immersed in Disney for their whole vacation.

In addition, according to Disney, many of these locations also include “breakfast, kitchenettes, and pet-friendly rooms. So whether you’re vacationing as a large group, traveling with small children, or it’s just the two of you, there’s a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel that’s right for you.”
