Some guests choose to stay at one of the Disney-owned hotels, which have perks like free transportation to and from the parks, access to great Disney Restaurants, and fun Disney theming. But, those hotels can be significantly more expensive than the non-Disney hotels you can find nearby. We’ve taken you on a tour of some updated additions near Disney World (like the Drury Plaza Hotel), but now we invite you to join us as we explore the UPDATED Delta Hotels Orlando Celebration by Marriott — a non-Disney-owned hotel that’s still close to the parks and offers many of the same perks found at those Disney resorts!
We were invited by Delta Hotels Orlando Celebration for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the renovated hotel and we got to experience it all. The hotel has been undergoing a $35 MILLION(!!!) renovation and all the rooms have been redone. They are also continuing renovations to improve the guest experience.

Ribbon Cutting
Final changes will include updates in the conference center’s flexible meeting space. Let’s go through what you need to know about this hotel.
Location
The Delta Hotels by Marriott Orlando Celebration is located in Celebration. It is off HWY 192 and close to I4.

It is just 1.5 miles away from Walt Disney World Resort. Here’s a peek at the check-in area for the hotel.

Check-In Area
Price
The price of staying at this resort can be a big perk. You can (depending on the date) find rooms for around $100 per night, which can be a pretty great savings when compared to some Disney World hotels.

The Lobby
We looked at rooms from a month from now and found a standard guest room with two queen beds for $122 and a standard king room for $132. Of course, you can pay extra for a pool view.
