Your Guide to Disney Stays
Welcome to the accommodation planning page for Sarah & Tom's 25th anniversary weekend.
We've curated this guide to help you find the perfect place to rest your head near Epcot and the surrounding Disney resorts for our May 2027 celebration.
On-Site Disney Resorts
We will be offering discounted rooms at Disney properties at all three price points: one Value resort, one Moderate, and one Deluxe. Keep an eye out here for the names of those resorts and the discount codes.
Or, if you have a favorite Disney resort or Disney resort you've always wanted to try, that's fine too.
Resorts on the property make some aspects easier, including transportation around the Disney property and getting early entry to the theme parks.
You can find a good explanation of the pros and cons of Disney on-property resorts vs. off-property resorts here.
Accommodation Options
There are a tremendous number of options for places to stay in and around Walt Disney World--the amount of rental stock is huge, and there are options that can meet virtually every need and length of stay.
Find the one that works best for you. Let us know if we can help in any way!
Off-Property Area Hotels
The Kissimmee and Orlando areas offer a tremendous number of hotel and motel rooms and suites that can satisfy the tastes of virtually any potential guest.
There are theme hotels, suite hotels, deluxe resorts, discounted options, and specialty lodging centered around golf or other sports or interests.
One of the great things about the Orlando area is that it is a major vacation destination, which means it offers places to stay to please just about every person, every budget, and every interest or need.
Rental Homes and Condos
It is possible to rent a condo, villa, or house minutes from the Disney gate. This can be a fabulous, fun, and possibly economical option, especially for families or groups.
These rentals usually have kitchens and often have pools, grills, or other features, which can enhance the stay and experience, especially for a group or family.
In addition to the standard VRBO or Airbnb offerings, there are Florida-based rental management companies that offer similar houses and condos, sometimes with fewer fees.
Disney Wayfinding
Navigating Walt Disney World is part of the fun!
Epcot and the surrounding resorts offer world-class connectivity. Some options include
Friendship Boats: 15-20 min ride from the BoardWalk, Swan, and Dolphins resorts to Epcot.
Disney Skyliner: A scenic gondola trip.
Walking Paths: 10-15 minute walk from nearby docks.
Monorail: 30-minute connection to Magic Kingdom.
