Why Resort Days Are a Must-Do at Disney World

October 15, 2026
By

When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re probably already dreaming of all the wonderful rides, shows, and nighttime spectaculars! However, if you spend all your time in the theme parks, you’ll be missing out on the full Disney World experience. Here’s why you need to build in a resort day or two (or more) during your vacation.


Rest Between Park Days

It’s easy to forget just how large Disney World is with its four theme parks. You can log tens of thousands of steps in a day while at Disney World, especially if you’re going from rope drop to park close. After a few days straight of time in the theme parks, you’re going to need some rest! Having a resort day gives you a chance to catch up on some sleep and truly unwind.

Save on Theme Park Tickets

On a practical level, building some resort days into your vacation itinerary can be a good way to save on travel expenses. Theme park tickets for guests ages 10 and up start at $119 per day. If you have a family of four, that adds up quickly—and that’s before you even consider any extras such as Lightning Lane passes or park hopper options. Every resort day that you add into your vacation is another day for which you can save on theme park admission.    

Get the Most Out of Your Villa 

Renting a stay through DVC Rental Store means that you get to enjoy a studio or villa that offers more space and amenities than your average hotel room; it’s more than just a place to sleep at the end of a fun day at the theme parks!  

Enjoy slowing down, sipping your coffee on the private balcony, and taking in the view, whether that means watching the sunrise over Crescent Lake from the BoardWalk or spotting animals on the savannas at Animal Kingdom Villas.  If you’re in a One Bedroom Villa or larger unit, take advantage of the full kitchen, make a simple meal, and gather everyone around the dining table to enjoy it together.

Enjoy Your Resort’s Amenities

When you’re staying at a Deluxe DVC Resort, make time to explore your beautiful resort! DVC Resorts like the Beach Club and Polynesian have great pools, and Fort Wilderness has lots of great outdoor activities from archery and canoeing to pony and carriage rides.  From the Grand Floridian, Bay Lake Tower, or Polynesian, you can go on a monorail crawl to try the different lounges and shops. Many DVC Resorts also have community halls where you can find games or an arts and crafts project that may just become your favorite souvenir of the trip. There’s so much to do right at your resort!
