Unlock the Magic: Disney's Luxury Collection
When most people think of Walt Disney World, they imagine character breakfasts, spinning teacups, and the joy on a child’s face during a castle fireworks show. But there’s another side of Disney—one with rooftop champagne toasts, private balconies facing Cinderella Castle, world-class spas, and poolside cabanas with craft cocktails. Welcome to Disney’s Luxury Collection: the top-tier resorts that bring magic and elegance together in a way only Disney can.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, bringing the whole family together in style, or just prefer your pixie dust with a plush robe and nightly turndown, these are the crown jewels of Disney’s resort portfolio.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Timeless elegance just a monorail stop from Magic KingdomDisney’s flagship resort is a Victorian dream, with sweeping staircases, grand chandeliers, and live jazz in the lobby.

Top Room Type: Club Level with Theme Park View
Lux Tip: Book a massage or facial at The Grand Floridian Spa—yes, it’s worth the time away from the parks.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
South Pacific charm meets castle views. For laid-back luxury, the Polynesian has no equal. Think tiki torches, Dole Whips by the pool, and the soft sound of island music under the stars. It's also one of the best places to stay if you're focused on Magic Kingdom access—with both monorail and boat service just steps away.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Luxury in the wild—without leaving Florida. This is Disney’s most unique luxury property, offering an immersive safari lodge experience where you can wake up to zebras and giraffes grazing outside your balcony. The dark woods, African art, and ambient drums give it an otherworldly calm.

Top Room Type: Savanna View King Room with Club Level Access
Lux Tip: Don’t miss the wine list at Jiko—it features one of the largest selections of South African wines in the U.S.
💫Disney’s Riviera Resort

Luxury at Disney isn’t just about thread count—it’s about location, service, and immersive design that matches the magic happening inside the parks. These top-tier resorts offer the best of both worlds: proximity to the action and all the peace, pampering, and elevated dining you could want.
