Walt Disney World has officially opened hotel reservations for November and December 2027, giving families their first real look at what a holiday stay on property will cost. Whether you're dreaming of a Thanksgiving trip, Disney's Christmas celebrations, or ringing in the New Year near Magic Kingdom, the price of your resort could vary dramatically depending on where you choose to stay.
A New Booking Window — With a Catch
Disney opened reservations for the remainder of 2027 on October 6, extending availability through December. Previously, guests could only book through October 2027, leaving those hoping to visit during the holidays without confirmed options.
The good news: those dates are now available. The not-so-great news: Disney vacations continue to get more expensive. Disney has already raised its highest single-day theme park ticket price to $229 for select dates in late 2027 — and that's before you factor in hotels, dining, Lightning Lane purchases, and everything else that goes into a Disney vacation.
Fortunately, Disney offers several resort tiers, and the newly released pricing shows just how much your choice of accommodation can matter.
Value Resorts: The Most Affordable On-Property Option
For families watching their budget, Disney's Value Resorts remain the most wallet-friendly way to stay on property. Rooms are smaller and amenities are fewer than at pricier resorts, but guests still enjoy perks like complimentary transportation and Early Theme Park Entry.
Based on published booking comparisons for selected six-night stays in November and December 2027, here's what Value Resort guests can expect to pay on average per night:
- Disney's All-Star Movies Resort: Approximately $194 per night
- Disney's Pop Century Resort: Approximately $257.67 per night
- Disney's Art of Animation Resort: Approximately $300.67 per night
For those open to something a little different, The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort came in at approximately $116.50 per night — though keep in mind these are campsites, not traditional hotel rooms.
To put it in perspective: six nights at All-Star Movies would run approximately $1,164, while six nights at Art of Animation would come to around $1,804 — a difference of roughly $640 for accommodations alone.
Moderate Resorts: A Middle Ground Worth Considering
Families looking for more amenities without jumping to Deluxe Resort pricing may want to explore Disney's Moderate Resorts, which include Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney's Port Orleans resorts.
One published nightly rate for November and December 2027 shows:
- Disney's Coronado Springs Resort: Approximately $365.33 per night
At that rate, a six-night stay would cost approximately $2,192 — before theme park tickets, meals, or any other vacation expenses. Rates can vary depending on the property, room category, and travel dates, so it's worth comparing multiple hotels before committing.
Deluxe Resorts: Premium Experiences at Premium Prices
Disney's Deluxe Resorts offer signature dining, additional amenities, and convenient access to the parks — and the 2027 holiday pricing reflects that elevated experience. Based on published booking comparisons for selected November and December stays, here are the average nightly rates:
- Disney's Wilderness Lodge: Approximately $687 per night
- Disney's BoardWalk Inn: Approximately $802.33 per night
- Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa: Approximately $972.67 per night
That puts a six-night stay at Wilderness Lodge at approximately $4,122, BoardWalk Inn at $4,814, and Grand Floridian at $5,836 — for accommodations alone.
Each property does offer distinct advantages. Grand Floridian provides monorail access to Magic Kingdom, BoardWalk Inn puts guests within walking distance of EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Wilderness Lodge offers a more secluded setting with boat transportation to Magic Kingdom. For some families, those conveniences may well justify the cost.
A Surprising Detail About Thanksgiving vs. Christmas Pricing
One interesting finding from the newly released pricing: published searches for November 9–15 and November 21–27, 2027 returned identical average nightly quotes across the eight accommodations examined. Selected early-December and late-December searches also returned matching prices.
That could be encouraging for families hoping to visit during Thanksgiving or closer to Christmas. However, these results only reflect specific booking searches and don't mean every Disney hotel charges the same rate throughout the entire holiday season. Guests should always check their exact dates, room categories, and availability before making any reservations.
What This Means for Your Holiday Planning
Disney's 2027 holiday booking calendar is now open, and the pricing makes one thing clear: where you stay will have a significant impact on your overall vacation budget. Value Resorts offer the lowest traditional hotel rates, Moderate Resorts provide a comfortable middle ground, and Deluxe accommodations can approach $1,000 per night in the examples reviewed.
And remember — that's just for the room. Theme park tickets, Lightning Lane purchases, dining, and other expenses all add up quickly.
For families hoping to stretch their dollars, comparing resorts, exploring different travel dates, and keeping an eye out for future discounts could make a meaningful difference. The dates are open — now it's time to find the resort that fits both your holiday dreams and your budget.
