To truly experience the magic of Disney World nothing beats staying on property and completely immersing yourself in the splendor of it all. The beauty of staying at one of Disney's 23 unique resorts is not limited to simply having a place to rest your head at night either. Benefits including extra time in the theme parks when everyone else has to go home is just one of the advantages reserved for resort guests.
