The Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts:
When staying at the Disney Deluxe Resorts you have access too all Disney transportation. Disney’s Magical Express can be used between the airport and hotel, and busses take you to each of the parks. A variety of transportation can be used from these hotels to get to the different theme parks. Water launch, Monorail and Bus service are all used.
Since these are Disney owned hotels you can also take advantage of Extra Magic Hours by simply showing your room key. At this time, you get a ‘bracelet’ that shows you can participate in Extra Magic Hours, but by the end of the year the ‘bracelets’ will no longer be in use.
With the Deluxe Resorts you will find at least one themed pool, some have food courts and all have restaurants. These hotels accommodate 4 people per room plus one child under age 3 in a crib unless otherwise noted. Each of these hotels also offers lounges and room service. Many of the Deluxe Resorts also have children’s programs. Usually for a child to be in the program they must be 5 or older and potty trained. Check with the hotel program for more information.
