Resorts with interior entrances

[dwhitaker]

I continue to get great information from this forum! My mother is planning a trip with my niece and prefers inside entrances. Which of he WDW resorts have interior entrances to the guest rooms - meaning the room door opens to an inside hallway rather than an exterior corridor?

All the Deluxes have interior entrances....

Any of the deluxe resorts. Note that some deluxes (e.g. Polynesian, among others) require you to walk outside to a building, but then you walk down a hallway inside the building to access your room.

Just to put names on them, the Disney resorts that have interior entrances are:
Contemporary
Polynesian
Grand Floridian
Wilderness Lodge
Villas at Wilderness Lodge
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Animal Kingdom Villas
Beach Club
Beach Club Villas
Yacht Club
Boardwalk Inn
Boardwalk Villas

You might also consider the Swolphin

Not all deluxes....SSR is considered a Deluxe Resort, but it does not have interior entrances. The doors are under a covered hallway, but it is not indoors, the hallways are open to the elements.

If she'd prefer interior halways in 1 main resort building then she should consider:
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Wilderness Lodge
Beach Club
Yacht Club
Boardwalk Inn and Villas
Beach Club Villas
Wilderness Lodge Villas

The Grand Floridian and Contemporary have rooms in their main building/tower for higher prices, but most standrad rooms are located in seperate buildings on the resort property which means a longer exterior walk; these rooms will still open into an interior hallway though. All rooms in the Polynesian are located in exterior buildings, with interior hallways.

All Moderates, Values, Old Key West, and Saratoga Springs have exterior doorways. To be honest though, we found no issue in regards to safety whether or door was exterior or interior. Since the exterior facing doors have stronger/more insulation, it helped block alot of noise from the walkways!

You're right - I've edited my original response to include them. Thanks!
