Which Disney resort is most expensive?

The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the most expensive Disney-owned hotel and is distinguished as Walt Disney World's flagship resort. It's also considered Disney's most opulent. Like all Disney hotels, rates depend on the dates you choose. Weekends, holidays, and school vacation weeks tend to be more expensive.



In 2026, the title of the most expensive resort at Walt Disney World is held by the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, an independent luxury hotel located within the Disney gates where standard rooms start around $1,250 per night and top-tier suites can exceed $15,000. If you are looking specifically at Disney-owned properties, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa remains the flagship "splurge," with standard rooms typically starting at $800+ and 3-bedroom Grand Villas costing several thousand dollars. Over at Disneyland in California, the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is the pricing leader, often commanding rates of $900 to $1,200 per night due to its exclusive direct entrance into Disney California Adventure. For a unique ultra-luxury experience, the Bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort are also among the priciest options, offering over-the-water accommodations that regularly price out at $3,000+ per night for families seeking a Tahitian-style getaway in the heart of Florida.
