By Tom Bricker — October 7, 2025
Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels are advertising rates from $82 through November 23, 2025, but resort and parking fees often push totals above $100. These off-site hotels include Early Entry but not the 7-day Lightning Lane booking window, while the Swan & Dolphin provide stronger on-site perks like Extended Evening Hours and advance line-skipping reservations. Bottom line: compare total costs and perks—and consider using rideshare to offset weaker shuttle options.
