Dixie Landings Resort
The Disney Dixie Landings Resort reminds you of the rural south. The resort is divided into what is called "parishes". Guestrooms are found in the Mansion homes with the Bayou rooms farther upriver. The guest registration area is located in a building designed to resemble a steamboat.
The rooms at the Disney Dixie Landings Resort range from $124.00 per night up to $189.00 per night. Different rates apply to different times of the year. There are 2,048 guestrooms. Each room has two double beds (except the rooms designed for travelers with disabilities).There is an additional fee of $15.00 per night for a trundle bed. Up to four guests per room, additional charges apply if more than 2 adults. The rooms features include in-room wall safe, voice mail, data port on telephone, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, coffeemaker, and refrigerator (upon request and has a daily fee). About half of the rooms have doors that connect to a neighboring room. They can be requested but will not be guaranteed. If you want a room that connects this will be the best moderate resort to try.
