One delightful and often overlooked benefit to staying “on property” and “in the bubble” at Walt Disney World (WDW) is resort hopping.
Yes, by staying at a Disney Resort, you are closer to the parks, but you can also use Disney transporation. In fact, being able to use Disney transportation is perhaps among the best benefits of staying at a Disney Resort, because Disney transporation always gets you through the resort gates! You will want to use Disney transportation if you want to do any resort hopping. Without this, some resorts will require you to have a reservation, whether a stay or to dine. You skip this hurdle if you stay at a Disney Resort and use Disney transportation.
Having a dining reservation is a great way to resort hop, too, for times you prefer to use your own car. Having a split stay (reservations at multiple Disney Resorts) is also a fun way to resort hop.
Walt Disney World resort hopping is something you can do if you’ve got a few hours to spare, a whole day or even several days. You can make an entire vacation out of resort hopping and skip the parks completely: Think all the magic and less of the expense.
There’s so much to see and do at every Walt Disney World resort. If getting in your steps without going to the parks sounds appealing, read on for more ideas to inspire future stays.
