These are all of the hotels on Disney World property that can be booked using hotel loyalty and credit card points.
You can truly maximize your redemption when you pair these hotel booking with a travel credit card, especially if it’s hotel-branded.
My go-to credit cards that I’ve used in Disney World are:

Official Disney Hotels that can be Booked with Points
Unfortunately, there aren’t any Disney-owned hotels that can be booked with loyalty or credit card points.
The closest thing would be the Swan, Swan Reserve, and Dolphin.
Although these hotels are not Disney-owned, they are the only 3 (besides Shades of Green) that gets special Disney benefits such as:
- theme park early entry
- theme park extended evening hours
- complimentary Disney transportation
- complimentary theme park parking

Other Ways to Book with Points
If you have a rewards credit card, one thing you can do is redeem those credit card points for gift cards.
This is honestly a terrible use of points because the redemption value is pitiful, but it’s still an option.
I personally wouldn’t go that route. But that’s just me!
Why Book with Points?
If you have a ton of credit card or hotel loyalty points or if you just like staying at certain hotel brands, booking with points is great way to save a ton of money on your already expensive Disney World vacation.
Plus, these properties will even sometimes have some low redemption rates, or better, qualify for free night credits that you may have already earned.
But thankfully, if the point redemption rate is a little steep for the dates that you chose, there’s a good chance that the nightly rate is significantly lower than most average room rates at Disney resorts.
…
Hope this helps with your trip planning!
What about Disneyland?
I’ll save you some time. There are zero hotels on Disneyland property that can be booked with points.
The closest thing to a mega Disney resort would be the Westin Anaheim which can be booked on every major credit card travel portal as well as through Marriott Bonvoy point redemptions.
