It’s where every kids’ dreams are made of, right? Well, that’s what the belief is for those who just can’t wait to join the many tales of past and present within the world of Disney. And while it might be a must-see for every family and, especially, every child at some point in their life, it doesn’t always come at a low price. Sure, there are packages in which families can cut a few dollars and still have a great time enjoying everything that is offered, but for those looking for a much more VIP experience, short of renting out the entire park and getting a personal tour, the next best thing is staying in a hotel room that is fit for, well, a king or queen. So which Disney rooms are the most exclusive and expensive? I dug around to find the answer, so, for those really looking for their own adventure full of luxury and magic, take a look at these eight rooms and see if they meet your budget—which, make no mistake, will certainly set you back a few dollars for just one night while sleeping there.
8. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – $850
Yes, the cheapest of the most expensive hotel rooms one can get from Disney is this $850 room in the Wilderness Lodge. Inspired from the early 1900s and mixed with Native American culture, the seven-story lobby and 82-foot tall fireplace is what grabs the most attention upon guests’ arrival. The resort also includes a pool that is designed after Yellowstone’s Old Faithful geyser. So what does that $850 get those staying in Wilderness Lodge? A view of the courtyard for four people to stay in, all while sharing a Vice Presidential Suite. Talk about roughing it, huh?
7. Disney’s Polynesian Resort – $1,440
With views of Cinderella’s Castle and the Marina, a two-bedroom Princess Suite might set guests back $1,440 per night, but it’s well worth it while staying in this relaxing paradise. Built to resemble a Tahitian assembly lodge, the rich, tropical colors will help put a smile on anyone’s face, as well as blow their mind with the views of the surrounding lakes and other structures. It might not appear to look all that great from outside in comparison to these other resorts, but don’t judge a book by its cover, because this is a tremendous place to stay.
6. Disney’s Boardwalk Inn – $1,745
Capturing the charm, fun and elegance of Atlantic City in the 1940’s, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn sits along a boardwalk packed with amusements and is located near the Epcot Center and the company’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park. And for those looking for high-luxury, dropping $1,745 on a Vice Presidential Suite, you’ll get a master bedroom with a king bed along with a second bedroom that has three additional beds for the little ones. With everything right around you, though, there might not be a better choice to stay at in order to take it all in.
5. Disney’s Beach Club Resort – $1,835
Located near the Epcot Center, Disney’s Beach Club Resort might carry an insane price tag of $1,835 per night, but it’s also one of the most beautiful hotels one can stay at. Getting inspiration from a New England-style resort, the club is surrounded by 25 acres of Crescent Lake, giving ample opportunity to do everything a guest would want to. And make no mistake, when dropping that type of money, guests will be spoiled, staying in a Presidential Suite with concierge services, a lake view and complimentary DVD rentals during the entire stay. It’s a dream come true for anyone who wants to stay here.
4. Disney’s Yacht Club – $1,975
Inspired by the summertime hotels on the East Coast like Martha’s Vineyard and in Nantucket, the Disney Yacht Club is both incredibly gorgeous from the outside—just steps from a boardwalk and overlooking water—as well as from the inside. A Captain’s Deck, two-bedroom suite sleeps six and actually runs guests $1,975 per night, which includes amenities such as a garden view, a king canopy bed, walk-in closet and a limited collection of DVDs—which, no doubt, are all Disney-influenced.
3. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – $1,990
Looking more like a Victorian castle, the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa appears to be straight from the 1800’s—but make no mistake, it has all the amenities of the 2000s. As the flagship hotel of the Walt Disney World Resort, a two-bedroom Royal Palm Club Level Suite in the main building will go for as much as $1,990 per night. Sleeping six, concierge service, wet bar and stunning grounds accompany a guests stay—not to mention all the remarkable surrounding areas to take in.
2. Disney’s Contemporary Resort – $2,070
While most of these other resorts have the charm and charisma of a typical Disney story, the company’s Contemporary Resort lives up to its name by offering a more unique look for adults. With ultra-modern interiors that have a lakeside view, the resort looks more like a high-rise building in a big city as opposed to a resort on the grounds of Disney. Within walking distance of everything, $2,070 gets guests a whirlpool and full-sized fridge in their room—in addition to other amenities.
1. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – $2,225
While the Royal Asante Presidential Suite at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge might just be one room, it is pretty darn big, with the capability to sleep eight guests comfortably. The room includes a private balcony with a view of the Arusha savanna, while the Kilimanjaro Club has benefits like special itinerary services and discounts on adventures to dinners and adventures. It might be the most expensive room to stay at, but its near all-inclusive, so proves to be worth it.
