Is there a hotel that is actually inside Disney world?

I haven't been to Disney World in Orland Fl in some years, but now I have a 14 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. I am wondering if there is a hotel that is actually inside the Disney World park? I'm talking walk out your room and you are inside the park? I know there are "disney resorts" but you still have to drive to get there- and if there isn't any in the park- what would you suggest in the disney area?Is there a hotel that is actually inside Disney world?
No, there are NO Disney World resorts that are located within one of the 4 theme parks. The closer resorts to the theme parks have a walkway or a ferry to the park.



For example, in the Magic Kingdom resort area, the Contemporary resort has a walkway that leads right to the Magic Kingdom. In the Epcot/Hollywood Studios area, you can walk to the parks from Disney's Boardwalk or hop a ferry from the Boardwalk/Yacht %26amp; Beach Club, or either of the Swan and Dolphin resorts (although those are NOT Disney-owned).



When you ask for suggestions for hotels in the "disney area", are you referring to the Magic Kingdom theme park, or are you asking for the closest hotels to the Walt Disney World Resort complex itself (which includes the 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, and so forth)?
yes technically but it is not a hotelit is a prize that is to be won for the "Year of a Million Dreams" you have to be in the right place at the right time and the location fro where a winner is pick is changed everyday



"On June 7, 2006, it was announced by Disney that the suite would be completely decorated and upholstered as a 'royal bedchamber', which can sleep up to six people. It has become available as a prize during the Year of a Million Dreams celebration taking place at all eleven Disney theme parks, and an overnight stay in the apartment will be a prize randomly awarded to a guest at the four Walt Disney World theme parks and Downtown Disney."Is there a hotel that is actually inside Disney world?
Walt Disney World is a huge resort made up of 4 major parks, 2 water parks,the downtown Disney complex, a sports complex and many hotels. Every room on the property is inside the WDW resort, but none are within any of the parks.



Which park are you wanting to be near? If you want to be near Magic Kingdom, there are 3 resorts that are on the MK monorail: Grand Floridian, Polynesian, and the Contemporary.



There is the Cinderella suite in the castle in the Magic Kingdom, but it cost about 3500 per night I believe.
Technically all of the Disney Resorts are inside the Disney World "park" property. All of the roads connecting the resorts and parks are on private disney property. None of the hotels are inside Magic Kingdom to my knowledge.



One nice thing they have now is free shuttle buses from all of the Disney Resort hotels to all of the parks. Or if you stay at one of the hotels that has the monorail running through it, you can just hop on that.



If you drive and stay at one of the Disney Resorts, they will give you a parking pass that will get you into all of the theme park parking lots for free. But only if you're staying at one of the resorts. I think it's easier to take the shuttle bus personally, but I guess it varies family to family. :)



Have fun!Is there a hotel that is actually inside Disney world?
The 2 hotels previously mentioned are right on the Monorail and closest to the parks - I think the Grand Floridian is also on the Monorail. The Animal Kingdom Lodge has animals in view right from your window which might be cool.



Here is a link to the Deluxe resorts:

All the resorts have bus or boat transportation to the parks so you don't have to drive anywhere. I happen to like the Port Orleans Riverside myself of the moderate resorts.
As others have said The Contemporary and Grand Floridian have the monorail. But I would suggest Pop Century because you are going to visit other parks besides Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Pop Century is only about $82 per night regularly (now they are having a special rooms are only $65) and they give your transportation around the Walt Disney World Resort and to your hotel from Orlando International Airport free.

Here are benefits of staying on Disney Property:

No, none of the resort hotels are actually IN the theme park, where you could just walk down a flight of stairs and you're in Tomorowland. However, there are a few resorts which the other answerers have mentioned that are located on the property of or very close by to the theme parks.
no there are not any like that. but the Contemporary Resort, Grand Floridian Resort %26amp; Spa, and the Polynesian Resort are on the monorail path. So you can ride the monorail from any of these resorts to Magic Kingdom or Epcot.



I reccomend the Contemporary Resort
I work at the Magic Kingdom and yes you have to be either extremely rich or lucky to win a night staying at the Cinderella Suite inside of the castle the Make a Wish foundation does have some of that luck for obvious reason they use the room a few times a year
The Contemporary Resort is right down the sidewalk from the Magic Kingdom. The Boardwalk, Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club, and Beach Club are about a 10-15 walk to Epcot. They are also a 20min walk to the Studios.
There are may Disney Resorts inside Walt Disney World, but there is none inside a theme park. THere are hotels very close to a park that it's only a short boat ride. But none inside a park.
No, there are no hotels inside the parks themselves (except for the Cinderella Suite located in Cinderella Castle, but I don't think anyone stays there unless you're extremely rich).



I recommend the Boardwalk. It's walking distance to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. And no, you do not have to walk on the street. You can simply go down to the main lobby, go out the back and stroll along the actual boardwalk. The only parks that aren't easily reached are Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, and Downtown Disney. The walks to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios are about 10 minutes each and they're in opposite directions. If you do not want to walk, there is boat transportation to Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT called the Friendships. However, this takes a much longer time to arrive at your destination because it goes very slowly and it stops at the Yacht and Beach Clubs, the Boardwalk, and the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. So if it's night and you're leaving Disney's Hollywood Studios and you don't want to walk home the entire way, you can take the boat to Swan and Dolphin Resorts and then walk the rest of the way to the Boardwalk. That way you get a little rest and the walk is only about five minutes from there.



If you wish to visit the Magic Kingdom (and have the Park Hopper option on your pass) you can walk through EPCOT and then take the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom. If you want to visit any of the other parks that aren't reached as easily, you have to use the Disney buses (free bus transportation in WDW) or a rental car. Personally, a rental car isn't worth it; you really won't need it unless you plan on traveling anywhere else besides Disney World (i.e. Universal Studios, Seaworld, etc). Also, you can take the Magical Express from the airport to your designated hotel. You don't need to pay for this transportation and each bus is assigned to different Disney resorts. It will all be explained when you get there.



There are many shops (Screen Door General Store, etc), restaurants (Flying Fish, ESPN Club, Boardwalk Bakery, etc) and clubs (Jellyrolls and Atlantic Dance Hall are both 21+). I really enjoy getting up in the morning and being able to grab a quick bite to eat at the bakery. Their food is amazing. The pools are great as well. I especially like the main pool, Luna Park, because it's huge and the slide is really fun. There's also a poolside eatery that has various sandwiches and drinks from around 10:00AM to 9:00PM. The nightlife is excellent. If you do not want to go to the parks, you can just walk around on the boardwalk and there are numerous street performers like magicians and stunt people that kids love! They're pretty spectacular.



The Boardwalk is definitely my favorite hotel. Here's a link to the Boardwalk website at www.waltdisneyworld.com:

This includes virtual tours and pricing.



Here's the website for the Boardwalk Villas. If you do not want to pay to stay in the villas, then you can stay at the Boardwalk Inn which is the same exact thing but different kinds of rooms. The other sites are exactly the same, so disregard the room shown because that is a villa.
