While there are a ton of Disney World hotels to choose from, there are some you’re going to love more than others, and this one is mine! This resort keeps me coming back every year and let me show you why.
Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge doesn’t get nearly enough hype when Disney fans start ranking their favorite resorts. Between the incredible dining options, the easy access to Magic Kingdom, and the cozy, woodsy vibe — it truly stands out. It feels like you’re tucked away in a peaceful woodland retreat, yet you’re still right in the middle of the Disney magic. It’s home to my all-time favorite hotel room, and I’m taking you along for a full tour!
There are over 20 Disney World resorts you can book right now (with another one set to open in 2027). That’s a lot of options — and a lot of decision stress. So… where should you stay on your next trip? Which hotels are actually worth the splurge, and which are just coasting on the Disney name?

Disney World
Disney hotel restaurants don’t always get the spotlight they deserve, but some of the best meals on property are hiding just a short walk, boat ride, or Skyliner trip away from the parks. If your must-eat list is full of character dining or whatever you could snag last-minute in the app, you might be sleeping on some hidden gems.
