Want to add a little pixie dust to your next vacation? Check out a trip to Walt Disney World via Costco. The warehouse retailer offers several packages to the Magic Kingdom and its nearby attractions.

If you would like to stay on site, Costco offers several of Disney’s hotels at different price points, from the most affordable to the most deluxe. Or if you would prefer to stay at an off-site resort with close access to the parks, check out different options offered by hotel chains, including Marriott, Sheraton, or Hilton.

Disneyland (USA)

If you’re looking for a Disney experience on the West Coast instead, Costco has you covered. As with Walt Disney World, Costco’s travel department gives you options for both staying on-site at Disneyland or booking off-site if you would prefer.

Booking with your membership card may also get you a Disney gift card and discounts at shops in the Downtown Disney District.

Universal Orlando Resort (USA)
