Orlando Resorts Near Universal And Walt Disney World

The Number 1 request we get regardless of the time of year is to find resorts in Orlando Florida near theme parks. Although that will come as no surprise, what does come at a surprise to many guests is how many resort options they actually do have. For our purposes here, we’ll group the resorts in terms of distance from each of the main theme parks: Universal® Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World®.

Which Resorts are Closest to Disney?

Let’s first start with the resorts actually inside the gates of Walt Disney World. There are at least 10 Disney managed resorts we are aware of that are considered at the value or moderate end of the market. These are Disney’s All Star Music Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Coronado Spring Resort, Disney’s Art of Imagination Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s All Star Movies Resort, Disney’s All Star Resort, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort,  Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, and Disney’s Old Key West Resort.

There are another 8 resorts that are considered to be more at the upper end including Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, Disney’s Yacht Club, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

The next group of resorts include ones outside the gates of Walt Disney World. These include Emerald Island, Windsor Hills, Paradise Palms, Oakwater Resort, Rolling Hills and Windsor Palms. Click on any of the hyperlinked resort names for a resort review provided on the OVH 360 website. All 6 of these resorts or resort communities are within 5 miles of Walt Disney World and are not affiliated with Walt Disney World or Disney directly.

Which Resorts Are Closest to Universal?

Now let’s look at resorts in Orlando Florida near the Universal theme parks. These include the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Portofino Bay Resort and Universal’s brand new Cabana Bay Beach Resort. All 3 of these are available by water taxi to the Universal® Orlando Resort or a very short drive.

Outside the perimeter of Universal Orlando, there are 2 others that we cover and include in our rental inventory. These are Vista Cay and the Isles at Cay Commons. They are full service villa style accommodation resorts. Again, click on any of the hyperlinked resorts for more information.
