Travel Agent Questions part #3

Is there REALLY an advantage to staying on Disney property?  I mean, aren’t we just giving Disney more money for something we could probably find somewhere else?

Another great question!

The benefits of staying on a Disney property have to be weighed by each individual family.  So let’s arm you with the facts.

-Convenient Proximity.  Want to head back to the room and take a nap or quick dip in the pool? 
-Complimentary Airport Service (Disney’s Magical Express) You can skip the baggage claim at the airport and ride the comfortable motor coach to your resort.  Disney will take care of the bags for you!
-Complimentary (read FREE) Resort transportation and parking. Use the Disney transportation to get around between parks and resorts.  (if you are staying off site, remember to add $17 per day to your room price…that is what it currently costs to park at a Disney Park!).
-Extended Theme Park Hours.  Guests staying at one of the Resorts can take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours. 
-Complimentary WiFi.  Convenient wireless internet access.
-Disney Dining Plans.  You can only get the dining plan if you stay on property.  This is a convenient way to prepay for your dining.

Those are from the official Disney benefits.  There are a couple more to consider as well. 
-Early access to make your Fast Pass Plus selections!  You get to start making your selections a full month from those who stay off property. 
-180 days plus 10.  I know a bit of Disney Geek Speak here, but that basically means you get a jump on those staying off site when making those hard to get dining reservations.

-Complete Disney immersion.  Disney is known for its service.  Disney is known for its theme-ing.  Put those two things together and you have my favorite benefit of staying on property!
