Besides the free Magical Express airport shuttle and free Disney bus system (described above), Disney World gives a bunch of goodies to its resort guests.

  • guests at Disney Resorts are entitled to Extra Magic Hours: every day you can beat the crowds at one theme park by entering an hour early, or staying for later evening hours. Also, the very fun water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, offer morning Extra Magic Hour too.
  • if the theme parks are over-crowded, Disney resort guests are never turned away
  • you don't have to schlep the stuff you buy: purchases in the parks can be delivered to your resort
  • Disney Resort guests can buy the Dining Option that can be added to the Magic Your Way base tickets for admission to the theme parks. The Dining Option is generally considered a good deal.
Another good feature: the main pools at the Disney Resorts are lifeguarded.
