22 Non-Disney Orlando Hotels with Disney Shuttle Service Free to the Theme Parks

It’s well-known that Disney’s official on-site Resort Hotels offer access to the full network of Disney transportation. But what if you’re not staying on Walt Disney World property? If you’re looking for an off-property hotel that offers a shuttle to Disney World, you’ll be glad to know there are still plenty of options.

In addition, shuttles make travel planning easier since you won’t have to arrange transportation to the theme parks or pay for Uber, taxis, non-complimentary shuttles, or theme park parking fees. Listed below are the 21 best hotels with Disney World shuttles in Orlando.

Staying at Non-Disney Hotels vs Disney-Owned Hotels

A non-Disney hotel might be cheaper, but that isn’t always the case. The cost of traveling to and from Disney’s theme parks makes off-property hotels less economical and more time-consuming. So, if you decide to stay at a non-Disney hotel, choosing one that offers free shuttles to Disney World makes sense.

There are many reasons to stay at an on-property, Disney-owned resort. For one, you won’t need to allow for much travel time since the theme parks are nearby. Disney hotel guests can also take advantage of the complimentary Disney transportation system, which includes shuttles, monorails, water taxis, and the Skyliner.

Another advantage of staying on the property is that guests have access to Early Theme Park Entry, a benefit that allows Disney Resort hotel guests (and guests of other selected hotels) an extra 30 minutes in the parks before non-Disney resort guests. Some of the non-Disney hotels listed below include Early Theme Park Entry (where indicated). Still, the vast majority of hotels in the Orlando area do not have this perk.

Choosing Which Hotel is Best for You

As much as we love some of the resorts on this list, nothing is more magical than staying at one of Disney’s properties. See our Best Disney Value ResortsBest Disney Moderate ResortsBest Disney Deluxe Resorts, and Disney World Hotel Comparision pages for more information.

If you are planning a trip to Disney World or have specific questions about Disney or non-Disney hotels, we recommend contacting the Disney travel agents at The Vacationeer. Their team of experts can help you plan and book every aspect of your stay at Walt Disney World. Best of all, their services won’t cost you a dime! 

And yes, they can help whether you want to stay on-site or off-site!

Non-Disney Hotels that offer Free Shuttle Service to Walt Disney World Resort

Our list is exclusively non-Disney-owned hotels within a few miles of the park. Some shuttles run regularly throughout the day, so you can come and go as you please. Others require reservations or only run once or twice a day.

Shuttle times are accurate as of publication, but we encourage you to contact the hotel for specific shuttle times. Schedules can change without notice.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s get into the list of Orlando hotels with a shuttle to Disney World.
