Disney's Florida resort is well known for its family-friendly activities and theme parks, but it has no shortage of attractions and experiences geared toward adults — and this extends to its lodging options, too.

For adults who value impeccable theming, outstanding customer service, thoughtful restaurants and entertainment at every corner, any Walt Disney World hotel fits the bill, to some extent. Of course, some Disney World hotels are better than others. So which is the best Disney resort for adults? Here's NerdWallet's breakdown:

The best Disney World hotels for adults vary based on how much you prioritize design and amenities versus affordability.

The best Deluxe Disney World resort for adults: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

On the high end, NerdWallet’s pick for the best Disney World resort for adults in the Deluxe tier is Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. The elegant, New England-inspired resort has a lazy river set within its 3-acre pool complex, and is also the site of the Yachtsman Steakhouse. It also sits right up against Disney’s BoardWalk, which is a hub for nighttime adult entertainment including the Atlantic Dance Hall and the Jellyrolls dueling piano bar, both of which are limited to adults ages 21 and up.

The resort, which evokes images of New England and its seafaring traditions, is full of amenities, and its location next to Epcot makes it a top choice for adult park goers. That's because Epcot happens to be one of the best theme parks for adults thanks to its World Showcase area. There, visitors can sample delectable food and beverages (including the boozy ones) from a variety of countries — so you can skip the Uber after drinking your way around the world.

If you want to skip the theme parks, there's still plenty to do at or around Disney's Yacht Club Resort. You might spend the day out on the water by renting a boat. Another water option involves you getting in it — that's at the 3-acre pool complex featuring a lazy river. Choosing to rent a poolside cabana includes a dedicated attendant and cocktail service.

Don't miss a meal at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, a fine dining restaurant that Orlando magazine’s readers deemed the third-best steakhouse in the city in 2021.

The biggest downside to the Yacht Club is its cost. At the very low end, prices start at $537 — and that's for off-season travel, according to Disney price tracking site TouringPlans. For larger rooms on peak nights, you could easily pay many thousands of dollars.
