Your Guide to Every Disney Resort Around the World

Want a seaside retreat? A thrilling, modern stay? Or maybe a classical hotel filled with Beauty and the Beast-inspired enchantment? Disney has tons of properties all over the globe, including its various theme parks and even a few standalone properties. Here's a closer look at every property you can stay at!

Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World is the largest theme park on the planet, and it’s been bringing joy to families since 1971. It’s also loaded with fantastic hotels and lodging options. The park’s 18 resort properties are separated into three categories: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe.

If you want to go big, the deluxe properties are gorgeous and have great pool areas, fantastic restaurants, and well-appointed rooms. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong with a deluxe property. Whether you want to stay at the retro-modernist Contemporary, which is just a short walk from Magic Kingdom; or want to experience the glamor and elegance of the Grand Floridian; or are looking for an exotic lodge with rooms overlooking an actual safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge, every deluxe hotel is unique, gorgeous, and worth a visit.

But Disney’s moderate resorts are also fantastic. In fact, many longtime Disney fans say their favorite property in the park is Port Orleans - Riverside. Inspired by small towns in Louisiana, the property feels like you’re thousands of miles away from Orlando. It’s secluded, surrounded by woods, and has a river running through it, giving the property a chill and quaint vibe. After a long day at the park, returning to Port Orleans transports you to a slower, more relaxed way of life – that’s exactly what you need to recoup and unwind.

Disneyland Resort

The park that started it all! Opened in 1955, Disneyland has been enchanting guests for almost 70 years. Currently, the resort is comprised of two parks - Disneyland and California Adventure - and both parks are about to grow thanks to a massive expansion project. There’s also currently three Disney properties guests can stay at. 

The big highlight is the Grand Californian. Inspired by the luxury of Disney World’s Grand Floridian, and heavily influenced by northern California’s stunning mountain lodges, the Grand Californian is the most epic resort at Disneyland. Complete with fine dining, a spa, a massive pool area, and direct access to the parks, it’s a win-win for every type of traveler.

But there’s other great properties at Disneyland as well, including the iconic and historic Disneyland Hotel and the modernist Pixar Place, which just finished a massive remodel.

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris, once called Euro Disney, is one of the company’s greatest turnarounds. The park struggled in its early years but now sees more than 10 million visitors annually. It’s also home to some unique rides – including the only variation of Space Mountain that goes upside down. Disneyland Paris also has a huge array of resorts with some really fun and epic theming. 

Naturally, there’s the elegant and opulent Disneyland Hotel, which captures the royal magic of The City of Light. Being in Paris, the hotel has lots of touches of Beauty and the Beast, as well as new Frozen elements, both giving it a truly whimsical feel. 

But there are tons of other gorgeous resorts as well, like the Sequoia Lodge, which is inspired by America’s National Parks, and the Newport Bay Club, which brings a bit of the New England seaside right into the middle of France. There’s also the incredibly unique Davy Crockett Ranch resort. Set in a densely wooded forest, the property is just a short drive from the park and feels sorta similar to Fort Wilderness. Guests stay in rustic cabins and can enjoy tennis courts, mini golf, and even a saloon with billiards. It’s a huge contrast from the parks, but it’s a fun way to balance out the trip.

Just like Disney World, Disneyland Paris categorizes its resorts by price and luxury.

Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland is the most overlooked Disney park…and that’s a darn shame because this is one of the most gorgeous theme parks on the planet. It also has tons of rides that no other Disney park has, like Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs, and the iconic Mystic Manor. 

The resort also has three hotels…and all three are oceanfront. There’s no other Disney park in the world where you can ride a roller coaster and then head back to your hotel while surrounded by palm trees, lush green mountains, and crashing ocean waves. It’s a must-visit destination. The hotels include the grand Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, the adventure-themed Disney’s Explorers Lodge, and the Art Deco Hollywood Hotel.

Tokyo Disney

Tokyo Disney is always praised amongst Disney fans, especially for its unique and incredibly themed Tokyo DisneySea park. It’s also home to a wide array of hotels for visitors to choose from. The latest addition to the park is the Fantasy Springs Hotel, which is inspired by storybook fairy tales and has touches of magic in every corner of its design. It’s a beautiful and whimsical hotel that has received rave reviews since its debut earlier in 2024. 

There’s also the Hotel MiraCosta, which is inspired by the oceanfront resorts nestled along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel is stately, with nautical and European touches that give it a feel of class and distinction. But there’s also more moderately priced hotels, like the Celebration Hotel. As with other parks, Tokyo Disney breaks up its resorts into classes.

Shanghai Disneyland 

Opened in 2016, Shanghai Disneyland is the newest Disney park. It made waves upon its debut for being the first park with the TRON Lightcycle roller coaster and for its unique and widely praised version of Pirates called Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure.

The park has two hotels, including the flagship Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the more moderately priced Toy Story Hotel. Shanghai’s Disneyland Hotel is also unique because whereas many of the grand resorts at Disney have a seaside Queen Anne design, this one is more modern with an art nouveau style, giving it a distinct contrast to other Disney hotels.

Disney’s Aulani

Maybe you want to skip the parks and just have a Disney resort experience. If that’s the case, then visit the gorgeous Hawaiian island of Oahu and stay at Aulani. The massive property is absolutely breathtaking and is built to resemble traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian designs. The hotel itself is stunning, but then you look out your window at the palm trees and the Pacific Ocean and realize the entire setting is straight out of a postcard. 

There’s a huge on-property waterpark, as well as a spa, private beach, and multiple dining options. Plus, it wouldn’t be Disney without character meet-and-greets, which naturally include Stitch and Moana. The resort also offers off-property excursions like surfing lessons, kayak tours, and ziplining.

Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort

If you really want to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, head to Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. The small resort is designed in true Hilton Head style, perfect for anyone who wants to spend their vacation golfing, walking along the beach, and fishing. For a weekend of disconnecting and recovering, this is the place.

Disney’s Vero Beach Resort

Located on the Florida coast about an hour north of West Palm Beach is Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. It’s a true Florida beach hotel, letting guests sit in the sand, play in the waves, or relax by the pool. There’s also a spa and tennis courts, and if you come during certain times of the year, you can even observe sea turtles nesting on the beach.
