12 Disney World Hotel Deals As Low As $49 Per Night (with Great Reviews)!

Are you and your family thinking about heading to Disney World? If so you may want to check out these pretty awesome Disney World Hotel deals. With a little planning you might be surprised at what you can do a Walt Disney World area getaway for. If you have some flexibility in your schedule and can book your vacation around the dates the hotels have the best prices (verses searching for dates that are not flexible), you can get the lowest rates. Even if your dates are firm, here are 12 Disney World area hotels with super deals going on.

I have been visiting both the Walt Disney World parks and the Disneyland parks for years with my family. Not only that, I actually worked at Disney World and lived in Kissammee for a short season of my life too. While I personally love to stay at the Disney hotels in Disneyland, Walt Disney World is an entirely different ballgame for me. That is because the WDW parks are spread out (so you will need some kind of transportation option to get to them no matter where you stay), AND there are so many resort options in the Orlando area. Couple that with the fact that you might plan to visit other attractions in the area, and it really opens up your decisions of where to stay. My favorite thing though, about picking a spot in the Orlando area is that there are some high quality resorts that are also budget friendly. With a little planning, you can easily save on resort stays in this popular vacation area, just due to the volume of hotel rooms in the area.

We have tried to help you narrow down your choices here, by sharing some resorts that are 3.5 stars to 4 star stays, with overall decent reviews, lots of ammenities, and that offer room rates at under $100 a night in most cases.

If you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World be sure to check out these Walt Disney World Ticket Discounts for the best prices on those.

Here are 12 Walt Disney World area hotels you can get for around $100/nt, with options that start at under $50 for many of them. We also include options for larger families (sleeps 6) for just over $100/nt. They all get a 3 star or better overall rating, and include fun amenities for families.

They are all within a reasonable distance to the Disney Parks too. Here is a little info to consider when looking at locations of the resorts below.

  • Orlando – is approximately 20 minutes from the Disney parks, but may be a better option if you plan to visit other parks like Universal and SeaWorld etc. 
  • Kissamee is approximately 10 minutes from the Walt Disney World Parks. 
  • Lake Buena Vista – is home to the Disney World Parks, and is a great option if proximity to those parks is important.

In addition to the resorts with current deals we list below, we share more tips on how to save on lodging at Walt Disney World here as well.

I do want to note that a few of the offers listed below are timeshare properties (in addition to selling hotel rooms). Personally, I recommend you skip the free welcome gift (as these often get you in a room where they may try to give you the timeshare pitches) and let the know you are not interested in any of the timeshare presentations up front. I always do that and have not had any issues with timeshare salesman (as you may read about in reviews).

Walt Disney World Hotels –

Before we get into the 3.5 star to 4 star budget friendly resort options near WDW, I do want to mention a couple of sometimes affordable Disney resorts. Their All Star hotel collection, can often be found at around $100/nt if you choose the right dates. Although these are considered 3 star hotels, they are a Disney hotel – which means they come with lots of perks. If staying in the Disney environment, having easy access to transportation, and some of the perks (like early entrance) are important to you, then here are two options in this price range to consider:

We found both the Disney’s All Star Music Resort and the All Star Sports Resort for as low as $109 – $110 a night. Since this rate includes tax, it actually works out to under $100 nt before tax.

These are the Disney value resorts – so they will have a pool, motel style rooms, food court and Disney shops and transportation options too. If a Disney resort is important to you, these are great options.

If you do decide to book one of these Disney resort options, I highly recommend going through Get Away Today. We have book all of our past 6 years of Disney travel through them, as they are the very best in my opinion. You can even put your vacation on layaway at no extra cost, if you need some extra time to pay it off. Plus, if you are planning to bundle tickets and room costs, use code THRIFTYNW or tell them them Thrifty NW Mom sent you if you call and you will get an extra $10 off.

My personal feeling on them: if you have younger kids it can be fun to stay in the bubble. As my kids got older, we have preferred larger rooms and more luxiourious pool space – so personally, I would book one of the options below if we are looking at around the same rates. This is a personal decision though, so we are providing all the info we can to help you make the one that is right for your family.

Resorts in the Area Beyond Disney

Here are some great resort options for families, that will be the perfect mix of being affordable but full of ammenities for families to enjoy. Just staying at these resorts will feel like vacation.

Of Special Note – 

  • It sounds like they are going through a remodel (which is probably why these rates are available). and some of the common spaces and rooms have been refreshed (this rate states it is for a remodeled room, but if you are booking elsewhere pay attention to that). So in general it sounds like it would be a great option for these rates, but important to note that.
  • This one does not cover parking (that is an extra $17-$22 a day), so be sure to factor that in if you are driving.

What we love about this one:

This location is in close proximity to the parks, near the town of Celebration and ESPN too. They offer a Free shuttle services to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios parks.

This is a Marriott brand hotel, which I am a fan of in general.  There are also two pools (one with a slide) as well as other family friendly ammenties, and a deli and Starbucks onsite too. The pool area looks beautiful, and many reviewers note how nice it is.

If you can work your schedule and get this spot for one of those lower rates, I think it would be a super deal – especially if your plan is to visit the parks.

What I love most about this option, is that it sits right across from Disney Springs. This is Disney Worlds entertainment, restaurant and shopping district. On our last trip to WDW we stayed at the Disneys Saratoga Springs resort, which also is near Disney Springs, and spent lots of time over there. This is particularly nice if you are traveling with tweens and teens who want to get out to shop or just be around people more often. It also means that you should have access to all of the Disney parks transportation that goes through Disney Springs, which can be a convenience. It is in great proximity to the Disney parks too.

This location also has three restaurants on property. Some amenities include:

  • 2 outdoor pools (and spray area for kids)
  • Arcade/game room

Of Special Note – 

  • There were only a few of the $89 rates in the February timeframe, and after the $40 resort fee it will take it up over $100 a night, but with the full breakfast and waterpark tickets, we still thought this might be one some families would be interested in (alot of bang for your buck if you can make those more affordable dates work).
  • Parking: available for an additional $10 per vehicle per night.
  • I do suggest reading through the reviews, as they are a little hit and miss. This will help you decide if it is the right fit for your family.

What we love about this one:

They are located in Orlando, so a nice central location if you want to hit up more parks than just Disney. This one is fun because it has its own waterpark onsite! So staying here is really part of your vacation. You will also find an arcade for kids, and restaurants onsite as well. Their shuttle service will take you to Universal Studios, SeaWorld and Aquatica, but you will need to make your own arrangements for the Disney parks.

The waterpark includes 14 slides, multiple pools and splash zone area.

  • Daily scheduled transportation to Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, Universal Studios, and Sea World (Not valid for groups)
  • Resort parking access

What we love about this one:

Like many of the others in Kissammee, this spot is close to the Disney parks (just 1 mile from WDW park). It is a Disney Good Neighbor hotel, and that generally means they need to maintain a certain standard of quality. The outdoor pool here features a 50-foot waterslide and a picturesque waterfall. There is an onsite restaurant and lounge, as well as other dining options in walking distance. I also love that most of the rooms here feature balconies. If I am staying in a standard room, I always prefer that outdoor space to enjoy my coffee in the morning while the kids are sleeping in, or to relax with a drink after a long day in the parks.

Bonus Mention –

Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites & Waterpark

We included this one as a bonus mention, because the review ratings fall below our minimum standard. However, although the reviews fall below the 7 point rating we are shooting for here, many of the negative reviews where because people did not know they had a $49/dy resort fee or parking fee. We have clearly outlined all of those costs here, so you will know before you book if it is still a good deal for you. As a result we felt it was still worth including).

This resort gets a 6.4 out of 10 star rating on Expedia (over 4400 reviewers). It is rated as a 3.5 star hotel on the travel sites.

Rates:

  • As low as $69, with just a few dates at this price, but many more options for under $75/nt

Resort Fee: at $49 a day, it is one of the most expensive resort fees, but as long as you get the room at a great rate, it could still be worth it.

What we love about this one:

They are the only Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel and the only all-suite Holiday Inn Resort at the entrance to the Walt Disney World Resort.

2 outdoor swimming pools or 3 spa tubs and enjoy other recreational amenities, which include a water park (surcharge). Additional features at this aparthotel include concierge services, an arcade/game room, and gift shops/newsstands. They also have an onsite restaurant and coffee shop too.
