Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, the former Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, is a 1,009-room resort in the private Bonnet Creek enclave next to Walt Disney World, with Disney’s Early Theme Park Entry, a motorcoach to all four Disney parks and a 3-acre lazy river. It’s about 4 miles by road from Hollywood Studios and 5 from EPCOT.
The family draws are the pools and a free kids’ dinner; the Waldorf Astoria next door adds golf and a spa. The catch is a $50 daily resort charge and $40 self-parking, both plus tax at the time of writing.
Quick answer: Book Signia if you want Early Entry and a big resort pool without a Disney-owned hotel, especially with kids 12 and under or Hilton Honors points. Skip it if you want to walk to a park, plan a Universal-heavy trip or need the lowest total cost once fees and parking are added.

Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek is now Signia: what changed
On July 12, 2021, Hilton announced the conversion of Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek into Signia by Hilton, the first hotel of that brand. The address, tower, pools and Disney shuttle stayed the same, and Booking.com lists it as “Signia by Hilton Orlando – An Official Walt Disney World Hotel.”
That label isn’t Disney Resort hotel status. Disney lists Signia among its “other select hotels” for Early Entry, but Bonnet Creek is private land: no Disney buses, no monorail, Skyliner or boat stop, and you pay for Disney parking. Compare the neighbors in our guide to the five Bonnet Creek hotels.
Location and distances to the parks
No park is walkable. The hotel’s distances look like straight lines (EPCOT “2 miles”), so the table adds rounded OSRM road routes to each park’s guest parking.
| Destination | By road | Drive, no traffic | Hotel’s figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disney Springs garages | About 3 mi | 10 to 12 min | 2.5 mi |
| Hollywood Studios | About 4 mi | About 15 min | Not listed |
| EPCOT main lot | About 5 mi | 15 to 20 min | 2 mi |
| Animal Kingdom | About 5 to 6 mi | 15 to 20 min | Not listed |
| Magic Kingdom (ticket center lot) | About 6.5 mi | 15 to 20 min | 6 mi |
| SeaWorld Orlando | About 8.5 mi | About 20 min | 5 mi |
| Universal Orlando | About 12.5 mi | About 25 min | 12 mi |
| Orlando airport (MCO) | About 21 mi | 35 to 40 min | 18 mi |
Disney shuttle schedule and Early Entry
How the Signia Disney shuttle works
Signia and the Waldorf share a private motorcoach to the four theme parks and Disney Springs, picking up at Signia’s porte-cochère and then at the Waldorf about 5 minutes later. The hotel says it runs during regular park hours only; its schedule site, bonnetshuttle.com (run by Mears), says buses may make multiple stops.
The Magic Kingdom bus stops at the Transportation and Ticket Center, not the gate, so add a monorail or ferry ride (our Magic Kingdom tips explain it). Times change daily; this is the schedule for Tuesday, October 13, 2026:
| Park | Bus stop | Runs from Signia | Last bus back |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | Transportation and Ticket Center | 15, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. | 6:50 p.m. |
| EPCOT | Space 25 | 10, 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. | 10:05 p.m. |
| Hollywood Studios | Space 62 | 10, 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. | 10:15 p.m. |
| Animal Kingdom | Space 3 or 4 | 10, 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. | 7:10 p.m. |
| Disney Springs | Westside Loop | 8, noon to 9 p.m. | 11:20 p.m. |
Magic Kingdom buses left every 30 minutes from 8 to 11:30 a.m., then not again until 1 p.m.; EPCOT and Hollywood Studios ran hourly until 11:30 a.m., then roughly every two hours. Check your date the night before an Early Entry morning.
Early Theme Park Entry
Disney lists Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek among the select hotels whose guests can enter any theme park 30 minutes before official opening, every day of the stay, including check-in and check-out days. You need valid admission, and Disney says the benefit will continue through 2027. See our list of non-Disney hotels with Early Theme Park Entry.
What Signia guests don’t get
- The 7-day Lightning Lane window: you buy passes 3 days before your park visit; Disney reserves 7 days for its own resorts, the Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve and Shades of Green. See our Disney Lightning Lane guide.
- Extended Evening Hours: only Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts and those same four hotels.
- Free park parking: drive yourself and you pay Disney’s $35 a day standard parking (preferred $50 to $60).
Universal, SeaWorld and the airport
The shuttle covers Disney only, and there’s no airport shuttle. The hotel refers guests to Mears and Skyline and quotes approximate fares: town cars from $110, SUVs and vans from $160 and a $70 minimum for a Mears taxi from MCO, before gratuity. Compare options in our guide to getting from Orlando airport to Disney World.
Rooms and suites
Every Deluxe room is 351 square feet, with a sitting area, a desk, a king or two queens, marble bathroom counters, a 55-inch TV, a Nespresso machine and a mini-fridge. What changes is the view. Pool View rooms face the lazy river, Disney View rooms look toward Disney Springs or Hollywood Studios, and High Floor rooms (11th floor and up) face the nature preserve. Peloton Wellness Rooms add an in-room bike and a Theragun.
| Suite | Size | Layout | Guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Suite | 702 sq ft | 1 king, 1 bath | 2 to 4 |
| Signia Suite | 1,053 sq ft | King or 2 queens, 2 baths | 2 to 6 |
| Full Parlor Suite | 1,404 sq ft | 2 bedrooms, 3 baths | 2 to 8 |
| Executive Suite | 2,007 sq ft | 1 king, 1.5 baths, service kitchen | 2 to 4 |
| Presidential Suite | 2,214 sq ft | 1 king, 1.5 baths, service kitchen | 2 to 4 |
Suite figures are from the hotel’s 2024 suite chart, still linked from its site; every suite has a sleeper sofa. Deluxe pages list no maximum occupancy, so confirm before booking for five. Accessible rooms offer roll-in showers or tubs with grab bars.
Pools, lazy river and waterslide
The pool complex is Signia’s headline feature: a 3-acre lazy river around a zero-entry, lagoon-style pool where small children can wade in at beach depth. Waldorf Astoria guests can use it too, per the Waldorf’s FAQ.
- Hours: Signia’s pool page lists 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., but the Waldorf’s page for the same pool says 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., so check on arrival. Pools are heated when the weather turns cool.
- Tubes: handed out daily, first come, first served; the resort charge lists up to four per room. Bring your own floats or buy one at the Splash Shop.
- Waterslide: listed 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a limited daily schedule. Riders must be at least 40 inches tall, and anyone under 48 inches wears a life jacket.
- Cabanas: full-day rentals with drinks, snacks, a TV and service from Beech. Signia’s page says up to six guests, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the Waldorf’s says eight and 7 p.m. Rates vary by season.
- Rules: no outside food or drinks; towels come from the Towel Hut with your room key.

Restaurants, bars and breakfast
Signia has its own restaurants, bars and market, and guests can also book the Waldorf’s restaurants next door. Hours can change.
| Restaurant | Food | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| La Luce | Italian, pasta, Neapolitan pizza | Daily, 6 to 10 p.m. |
| Zeta Asia | Pan-Asian, sake | 5 to 10 p.m., Wed to Sun |
| Harvest Bistro | Breakfast buffet, American | 7 to 11 a.m.; lunch and dinner select days |
| MYTH Bar | Lobby bar, small plates | 4 to 11 p.m. |
| MUSE | Starbucks, grab-and-go | 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. |
| Beech | Poolside bar and grill | 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
| Bull & Bear (Waldorf) | Steakhouse | Daily, 6 to 10 p.m. |
In-room dining covers breakfast and dinner, not lunch. Bull & Bear has a dress code (no shorts, hats, flip-flops or athletic wear), and Oscar’s at the Waldorf serves breakfast.
Kids eat free with the resort charge
Children 12 and under get a free kids’-menu dinner at La Luce or Harvest Bistro, one per adult entrée, subject to operating hours. Children 5 and under eat breakfast free at Harvest Bistro with an adult entrée. Harvest Bistro serves dinner only on select days, so ask where the kids’ dinner runs each night. Compare more Orlando hotels where kids eat free.
Resort charge, parking and other fees
| Charge | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Resort charge | $50 + tax per room, per night | Mandatory |
| Self-parking | $40 + tax per day | In/out privileges |
| Valet parking | $60 + tax per day | 24-hour service |
| Incidental hold | $150 per night | Released 5 to 7 business days after checkout |
| Pet fee | $75 (1 to 2 nights), $125 (3+) | Up to 2 dogs, 40 lb combined |
The resort charge covers Wi-Fi for two devices, two bottles of water a day, the Disney motorcoach, up to four lazy river tubes, the fitness center, Waldorf golf practice and free club rentals after 2 p.m., 15% off spa retail and the kids’ meal offers. These are the hotel’s figures at the time of writing.
With a car, the resort charge and self-parking add $90 a night before tax. Rates vary by season, availability and how far ahead you book. The hotel’s offers page currently lists parking-included and breakfast-included packages and a winter package with a $50 resort credit and free self-parking, so compare them with your Booking.com rate. If fees are a dealbreaker, see Orlando hotels with no resort fees.

Using Hilton Honors points at Signia
Hilton says stays booked 100% with points carry no resort fees, which saves $50 plus tax a night here, though parking is still charged. Its Honors terms also say on-property member benefits aren’t given on bookings made through third-party websites such as Booking.com.
Golf, spa, kids club and fitness
- Waldorf Astoria Golf Club: an 18-hole Rees Jones course next door. Rounds cost extra; the range, putting green and afternoon club rentals come with the resort charge. Men need collared shirts, and denim isn’t allowed.
- Waldorf Astoria Spa: open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a Himalayan salt room; prices vary by date, plus a 21% service charge.
- Waldy’s Kids Club: the Waldorf’s program for ages 5 to 12, with three-hour morning and afternoon sessions including crafts, lunch and swimming. It’s $50 for one child, $40 for the next and $30 for each additional child, or $20 per child per hour without lunch.
- Fitness center: open 24 hours, about 4,000 sq ft, with Technogym machines and two Peloton bikes, included in the resort charge.
Signia is also a big meetings hotel, so conventions can make some dates busier.
Who Signia suits
Best for: families with kids 12 and under, rope-drop planners who want Early Entry at a Hilton, Honors members on points stays and groups needing a big suite.
Not ideal for: tight budgets, anyone who wants to walk to a park, Universal-focused trips and couples after a quiet pool (try the Waldorf).

Frequently asked questions
Is Signia by Hilton the same hotel as Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek?
Yes. In July 2021, Hilton converted Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek into Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, the first Signia hotel. The address (14100 Bonnet Creek Resort Lane), lazy river and Disney shuttle are the same, it’s still a Hilton Honors hotel, and older guides still use the Hilton name.
How much is the resort fee at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek?
The daily resort charge is $50 per room per night plus tax at the time of writing. It covers the Disney motorcoach, Wi-Fi, water, lazy river tubes, the fitness center, golf practice and the kids’ meal offers. Parking is extra: $40 a day for self-parking or $60 for valet, plus tax.
Does Signia have a free Disney shuttle?
It has a motorcoach to all four Disney theme parks and Disney Springs. The hotel calls it complimentary, but it’s an inclusion of the mandatory resort charge. Buses run during regular park hours on a daily timetable, and the Magic Kingdom bus stops at the Transportation and Ticket Center. There’s no shuttle to Universal, SeaWorld or the airport.
Is Signia an official Disney hotel with Early Entry?
Signia calls itself an “Official Walt Disney World Hotel,” and Disney lists it among the select non-Disney hotels with Early Theme Park Entry: 30 minutes early at any park, every day of your stay. It isn’t a Disney Resort hotel, so you don’t get Extended Evening Hours, the 7-day Lightning Lane window or free park parking.
Can you see Disney fireworks from Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek?
The hotel doesn’t promise it. Disney View rooms are sold with views of Disney Springs or Hollywood Studios, and the room description doesn’t mention fireworks. Treat any show view as a bonus. For rooms sold with a show view, see our list of hotels with views of Disney fireworks.
What is the best way to use Hilton Honors points at Signia?
Book a Standard Reward stay entirely with points: Hilton waives resort fees on stays booked 100% with points, saving $50 plus tax a night here. Silver and higher elite members also get every fifth night free on reward stays of five nights or more. A Points & Money rate isn’t 100% points, so check the fee, and parking is still charged.
Bottom line
Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, still Hilton Bonnet Creek to many, is a strong pick if you want Early Entry, a park bus and a lazy river resort under a Hilton roof. Budget for the resort charge and parking, check the shuttle times for your dates, and use the kids’ dinner and points rules to bring the cost down.
