The BEST Disney World Hotels in 2025

As soon as AJs voice plays 📝📝

Please don't call it etpe lol

Best pixie dust I’ve ever gotten was getting upgraded from a mermaid suite to a cars suite for free. If I could send that cast member a Christmas card every year I would. Art of Animation is AWESOME!

Staying at Wilderness lodge for 2 weeks in January and I’m so excited

Staying at Walt Disney Swan Reserve in December!! No kids just my lady and I. Hotel looks perfect for adults and looks modern which we both like. First time going to Walt Disney world 🎊 🎉

Love the garden rooms at Contemporary. Our favorite!!! We find getting to Magic Kingdom a pain. So we can walk there and eat good food at the hotel. Fireworks views are great too.

do a disney holiday guide for this year that would be super helpful!

So all the rooms in the Port Orleans Frenh Quarter will be renovated by 2025?

The best one is Grand Florida I’ve been there it’s AMAZING 🤩

Could you guys do an updated drinking around the world video? Also, could you do a best off property hotel video?

Favorite Good Neighbor hotel stays in WDW?

Isn’t the strawberry soup just drinkable yogurt?

I’m staying at All Star Sports next Aug/Sep and it was pretty affordable!

Coronado Springs is the best 🙌🏻

Not going to lie. I feel a little disappointed that all the hotels are getting this modern look. Almost feels like it's losing something special

Stayed at Boardwalk 1 room villa last Oct and it was perfect. Recently renovated and was beautiful

Surprised for the "best" hotel, they didn't mention "split stays." So you could be at the "best" hotel for location for a couple days, e.g., Skyliner hotel for access to EPCOT and HS, and then finish off at AK lodge for AK and resort day.

ETPE? Does that stand for E.T. Phone Everyone?

I wonder if Disney cruise line has come up with any names for the new Disney cruise ships coming so excited for that

My family and I love and always stay at the wilderness lodge .We tried the family suites at the Art of animation. We liked those rooms too.

I would LOVE one of these once all the hotels open in Universal!

Can we just say everything normally and not shorten everything via abbreviation or acronym? I was going to say I’m just getting too old for this, but I’m not even that old. 😂

For my family, it's always been about location. Like AJ keeps saying, time is money at Disney, and time spent getting to the theme parks is no exception! Also love to stay somewhere where it's easier to get back to the resort for a break in the middle of the day.

My very first trip to Disney World was in 2015. I was 21 and over the moon to FINALLY be going to Disney! We arrived at the All Star Movie Resort but were told there was an issue with our booking and they were getting a manager. My mom and I were panicking. But it was nothing bad! We were getting pixie dusted! We were bring upgraded to Saratoga Spring! Such a different atmosphere but we loved it! Especially at the All Star price!

Garden Wing is right next to pool area and you can watch Electrical Water Pageant. Just walk over to main building for Monorail and watch fireworks

I am staying at the shades of green going for 10 days

NOT "ETPE!" Waaaay to many abbreviations already! 🤮😂

May I ask you all a question please? Is it possible to transfer a Swan/dolphin Hotel reservation via the Marriot App into the Disney World App (especially for dining reservation matters) ? Than you very much

Which hotels would be best for disabled guests? Yes, I know that every hotel has handicapped rooms but other things matter too when you're in a wheelchair. Distance to transportation, layout, accessibility to amenities, things like that all matter greatly.

I thought for sure you would have done a pools or amenities section that’s a heavy consideration for our family on rest days.

Have you done a video on handicapped accessibility? What Disney thinks is accessible is not.

Why are there announcements for pool closures, but Disney hasn't said anything about a skyliner closure for 2025? I'm getting stressed as I'm getting closer to my dining reservation date. Should I plan on being in Epcot at the beginning of my trip or the end or does it not matter? I wish I knew!

I vote no on the early theme park entry acronym. I love and appreciate DFB, but too many acronyms are confusing and sometimes feel like I need a legend to remember what the acronyms are for😂

For my family we prefer to stay on the skyliner route. We have stayed at Pop and Carribean Beach. Carribean beach was our favorite.❤

@dfbguide Guys! I just heard that Hollywood Studios is now letting early entry guests into the park up to certain check points until early entry hours begin, like Magic Kingdom does! Is this true!! 😱

Love your content as always!🌹💃🏾🥀

Beach Club got renovated rooms? Really? Not the one we were in in September of this year. In room 4602, in the lobby wing. Not only had it not been renovated, it was probably the worst room we've stayed in after 11 Disneyworld trips, INCLUDING stays at value resorts. Half the electrical plugs didn't work, the furniture looked to be from the 90's and had the wear to show for it. But the worst was the baseboard molding in the bathroom and sink area. It looked like there had been a flood at some time, as the molding clearly had water damage that someone tried to cover up by simply squeezing compound all around the bottom without even bother to smooth it out. The toilet paper holder in the bathroom at some point had apparently been ripped off the wall and plugged back in with some putty and little paint, with no attempt to blend it in. This was what you'd expect to find in a Motel 6, not a deluxe Disney resort. Guess the renovations haven't got to this floor yet. Disney should be ashamed of itself. If we ever go back to Disneyworld, it for sure will not be to the Beach Club.

Noice.

Guide for couples please! 🥺

Early theme park entry has nothing on extended magic hours you get with deluxe and beyond resorts

Dolphin is the best hotel for all the perks plus Marriott points. And the suites are epic.

Not so keen on magic carpet; aerial area rug on the other hand…

I once stayed with my family in the art of animation mermaid room and got upgraded to Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa with deluxe hours. How we got it is a private family matter but we did not ever expect that.

Would really love an updated Swan and Dolphin restaurant overview! Visiting in Feb and having a much harder time finding good Swan and Dolphin info. Thanks!

My grandma would be rollin in her grave if i paid for something that usrd to look like my toys when I was 6.

I just booked Boardwalk Inn for November!!

Polynesian

It’s hard to want to pay for any room on the resort, when Epic has a hotel you can literally walk into the park from starting at $293.

Great review! Thank you!

I just booked 5 nights at All Star Sports in Sept for $123 a night with the special offer...I couldn't BELIEVE it! I booked 5 nights and SIX 1-park-per-day tickets for TWO people for less than $2,000!
