What is the Most Expensive Hotel at Disney World?

Disney World’s Most Expensive Resort Hotels

The most expensive hotel at Walt Disney World is The Four Seasons Resort Orlando. But there’s a catch.

While Disney does NOT own the property, they still consider the Four Seasons Resort Orlando an official Disney World hotel.

So when we’re talking about the most expensive hotel resort at Disney World, the Fours Seasons Resort Orlando is the winner. However,  Disney’s most expensive hotel – owned by Disney – is the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.  It’s a little confusing but hopefully, this makes sense.

Let’s take a closer look at The Four Seasons and the Grand Floridian, and how much you can expect to pay to stay at each of them.
