Hotels in Lake Buena Vista

Voordelen:: We loved that it really felt we were in the South Pacific, the theming is done so well. The convenience to the Magic Kingdom was also great. There is a perfect mix of quick eating and sit down options as well. Walking out of your building and seeing Cinderella's castle is pretty awesome.

Nadelen:: Our room was in the farthest building from the main lobby area (Great Ceremonial House). Was a bit of a walk to get there, but it was a nice walk.

Voordelen:: Proximity to Magic Kingdom and the pools.

Nadelen:: Meals were very disappointing. Poor quality for the expensive price.

Voordelen:: Jennifer at the front desk

Nadelen:: Monorail closed too early.

Nadelen:: The bus service is terrible!!!!

Voordelen:: When I checked in and asked if there were any upgrades, they offered one that best fit our family and we so appreciated it.

Nadelen:: Morning of check-out, housekeeping knocked on the door at 8:20am insistently but we were still in bed. Not happy

Voordelen:: Love the location, staff and amenities at the hotel

Voordelen:: The size was perfect.

Voordelen:: The rustic atmosphere with amenities and great restaurant.

Nadelen:: The mattresses were too hard .

Voordelen:: proximity to Magic Kingdom on a beautiful lake

Nadelen:: rooms need to be renovated restaurant too small and not enough dining options

Voordelen:: I loved the theme especially in the lobby areas. I loved the location on the lake and the boat service. I loved the "wooded" view from our room.

Nadelen:: No.

Voordelen:: Amazing theming of the hotel. The location is wonderful and scenery beautiful. Resort restaurants are wonderful as well.

Nadelen:: The rooms of the wilderness lodge are beginning to get a little outdated

Voordelen:: Very kid friendly

Voordelen:: The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The lobby is awe inspiring - stand to the side and take a few minutes to gaze around. The boat ride to the Magic Kingdom is peaceful but at times it took 35 minutes to get a boat.

Nadelen:: The mattress was completely caved in. I cleaned mold off some of the shower tiles. The dresser bureau had drawers that drifted open and my son stabbed his shin on one in the middle of the night on the way to the bathroom.

Voordelen:: Have stayed here multiple times and love more and more each time.

Voordelen:: Location to magic Kingdom and the boat service.

Voordelen:: The Savannah view, full kitchen, bath and a half.

Nadelen:: Our room was hot. Despite telling them at the front desk that the temperature needed adjusted, it remained hot.

Voordelen:: Everyone was great

Nadelen:: Farthest away

Voordelen:: Unique animal experience.

Nadelen:: The long walk to the room.

Voordelen:: I loved looking out the window and seeing animals! The atmosphere of the resort is serene and calming. I always love my visits here.

Nadelen:: Rooms can sometimes be thin. Noisy neighbors with small children.

Voordelen:: Gorgeous lodge. Can’t beat having animals around your hotel!

Voordelen:: Pay the extra money for a savannah room! There was nothing better than coming home after a long day at the parks seeing giraffes, zebras, gazelles and many other African animals right off your balcony. I've never been that close to exotic animals and I didn't want to ever leave my room! Plus, the service here was impeccable. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Voordelen:: The restaurants are good.

Nadelen:: The rooms in this hotel are very old. Everything is dusty. Beds are uncomfortable. Bunk beds hurt to sleep in. Top bunk creaks so badly, you think you will fall off. No convenient wall outlets. Very, very old tiny TV. Every corner, molding was dusty. Nails missing from wall mirror. Dings in every piece of furniture. The whole room needs more lighting, it is extremely dark. No room to put the luggage rack out to actually put your suitcase on it. I will not be staying here again. If you want to stay at a Disney resort, pick a refurbished one. Pool is not well themed, like other Deluxe Disney Resorts. This hotel does not meet expectations of a deluxe resort experience.

Voordelen:: Animals were really cool. Ease of transportation around Disney property. Excellent customer service.

Nadelen:: It is a very expensive hotel- Rooms are smallish for the price.

Nadelen:: That the safari was 8 & up.

Voordelen:: Animals!! Restaurants. Disney ‘vibe.’

Nadelen:: Rooms too small. Too tired. I would place it somewhere between a comfort inn and a holiday inn express.

Voordelen:: Hotel employee went out of her way help us check in and get situated in the best way! Everyone was very accommodating and friendly! The room was beautiful as was the view. Enjoyed the pool...and morning room service with Mickey Mouse waffles was fun.

Nadelen:: Yes! Wasn't expecting to see a charge on my credit card for parking. It would have been nice to have been advised of this policy before I saw it on my bill.

Voordelen:: 3 words... Grand, absolutely magical

Nadelen:: The reservations system for the Spa and the Dinners is always Full and we had to make In room Dinning and is not our spected.

Voordelen:: Proximity to Magic Kingdom and great service

Voordelen:: Location is excellent. Beautiful hotel. Would stay here again. A Disney trip isn’t quite the same as when staying at a Disney resort that has the monorail that passes by, especially one like this one.

Voordelen:: No lotion provided very little customer service no eagerness to get customer satisfaction

Nadelen:: No lotions soap provided

Voordelen:: Gorgeous property right on the monorail system, so location was ideal.

Nadelen:: No improvements necessary. This is already the “Best at Disney World “.

Voordelen:: Wonderful stay at Disney, location, amenities, service was outstanding.

Nadelen:: No

Voordelen:: Location is amazing

Nadelen:: Not great value very uncomfortable bed

Voordelen:: Location to parks was ideal.

Voordelen:: Great location and pool areas for young children

Nadelen:: Beds need to be replaced, can hear people in other rooms and the outdoor movies in certain rooms

Voordelen:: The grounds are so clean, service is incredible and it offered something for all of us in our family to enjoy.

Voordelen:: The location is amazing. Being able to walk to 2 parks is great! The pool is also amazing! Loved the sand-bottom, lazy river and slides. We were very lucky to get a water view with a fulll balcony. It was the perfect location.

Nadelen:: Not a thing

Voordelen:: Very helpful staff. Very convenient location.

Nadelen:: Club lounge refreshments could be more varied and abundant.

Voordelen:: Property and convenience to EPCOT

Nadelen:: No

Voordelen:: It was right next to Epcot.

Nadelen:: Its over priced for what you get. The food and drinks at Cape May Restaurant wasn't good at all. Our room was not the cleanest, it still had toothpaste splatters on the bathroom mirror from previous guest, cobwebs on sliding glass doors.

Voordelen:: The staff are incredible and incredibly patient and helpful. Very nice property.

Voordelen:: We got park hopper tickets so we napped midday and then either walked to Epcot or took the boat to Hollywood Studios most evenings. We also enjoyed the free campfire with marshmallows, movies on the beach, and kiddie waterslide at beautiful pool.

Nadelen:: The buses to Magic and Animal Kingdoms were both crowded and uncomfortable standing with a toddler. If those are your main priorities to visit, you may want to book a closer hotel than Beach Club. Felt like too much of a hassle to go back again at night.

Voordelen:: we were upgraded to the club level! FANTASTIC!!

Voordelen:: Location

Nadelen:: The manager and staff I dealt with was rude and useless. There was a contractor performing work outside of my window between 2 and 3 am (per what a manager told me) which woke me up. After the manager was not able to help me, I left at 3 am

Voordelen:: Love Beach Club; once again,not disappointed. We will come back.

Nadelen:: No

Voordelen:: I love the location of the beach club, it really cannot be beat. It is our preferred hotel.

Nadelen:: This particular stay house keep was not up to par. We did not get our room cleaned at all one day, the next morning we requested new towels, went out for a few hours, still no towels. Stole some off a cart in the end.

Voordelen:: location and pool area

Voordelen:: Location...Walking to two of the parks.

Voordelen:: The theme was amazing, the food at Olivia. I

Nadelen:: Disappointed that the bell hop didn't help me with the luggage to my room

Voordelen:: Size of room.

Nadelen:: No

Voordelen:: Nice quiet property.

Nadelen:: Room next to road with traffic.

Voordelen:: Great location

Nadelen:: Maintenon seems to have slipped a bit and front desk staff were a bit useless not the normal welcome home smiles

Voordelen:: Very clean and great service from the time we checked in until we checked out. So easy to grab a bite to eat without having to leave the property. Pool was great for the kids. The board walk was entertaining too.

Voordelen:: Proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Disney attention to detail and theme.

Nadelen:: Bus service too longer than from value resorts.

Nadelen:: No official quick service restaurant

Voordelen:: Very cozy, intimate. The rooms have balconies. Very clean. Close proximity to the parks. I loved the Dance Hall. Large TV screens in room

Nadelen:: Front desk staff not the friendliest.

Voordelen:: The walking access to Studios and Epcot. The facility is beautiful.

Voordelen:: Close proximity to Epcot. Beautiful resort.

Nadelen:: The price of the room was a little much.

Voordelen:: Easy to get to Epcot and Hollywood Studios

Nadelen:: Can be Expensive

Voordelen:: Location

Nadelen:: Pool too loud, no water in rooms , rooms not worth the money, quite pool no service

Voordelen:: Location, location, location - easy walk to Epcot and relatively short bus ride to all of the other parks. BoardWalk area also has a lot to do. Staff was very friendly and pool/playground was a big hit with my toddler.

Nadelen:: Rooms were average for the price but that was expected. Pool towels are also too small!

Nadelen:: 11 is the age at which you get charged as an adult in the restaurants, but not old enough to be in the arcade unaccompanied.

Voordelen:: Location, ambience, cleanliness, shadow of the Disney experience. It's a great location being between two of the four parks both of which are within walking distance. Very convenient to take a break and return later in the evening. The Flying Fish Cafe has great food albeit expensive but then again, everything at Disney is expensive so you already know what to expect.

Nadelen:: The daily intrusion by housekeeping to check up on you is creepy. It isn't that they are concerned about you but just because of what the maggot did in Las Vegas doesn't entitle them to intrude on your privacy like you were a suspicious character. It's enough that you get the inconvenient airport experience at the park entrances that now you have to suffer this indignity.

Voordelen:: As always Disney nails it. Fantastic facilities and the benefit of on property transportation. A fantastic place

Nadelen:: When booking through a third party names of all travelers don't always make it to the reservation nor does a my Disney account get linked. This is a problem because Magic Bands can be preordered custom and fastpass+ reservations can be made when all necessary information gets to Disney before arrival.

Voordelen:: Pools and community hall

Nadelen:: Three knocks on our door before 9 am by staff. Rooms need updated.

Voordelen:: First time we have stayed in Congress Park Section of the resort, and it measured up. It is located between the main building with the restaurants and pool, and the shopping and dining on Disney Springs. Our deluxe studio (2632) was spacious and along one of the unused water ways so we enjoyed a quiet weekend. The bus stop was just a short walk, and we waited no more the 15 min. For our buses to arrive.

Voordelen:: The location is walking distance to Disney Springs. Or, a short bus ride or drive. Beautiful resort grounds and accommodations. Pools are very nice. There is a sit down and a self serve restaurant in the resort. The 2 bedroom condominium is spacious with a full kitchen, living area, balcony, 3 TVs (one in each bedroom and one in the living area. Beds are so comfortable. The 2nd bedroom has 2 queen beds, a sitting area, 2 sinks separate from toilet and bath/shower.

Nadelen:: Expensive and lots and can get a bit crowded at the pools at certain times of the day.

Voordelen:: Being able to use my points which cost dearly.

Nadelen:: This isn't my home resort. I can never get in but no one WANTS to use their points here. It's just that it's usually all that's left if you want a spontaneous vacation. BTW my home resort is the Boardwalk and since I purchased in 1997, I've only been able to stay there a handful of times. :-(

Voordelen:: This hotel is small and easy to navigate.

Nadelen:: The food was only edible, nothing special, typical Disney food.

Voordelen:: Everything was wonderful. The small size of the resort, the proximity of my room to the pool, restaurants, and parking was perfect.

Nadelen:: The toilets are loud, but that's it.

Voordelen:: Everything!!!!

Nadelen:: All Great!!!

Voordelen:: The design of the hotel and the proximity to the theme parks. Along with the free shuttle to the park.

Nadelen:: A few outlets didn't work properly.

Voordelen:: Its a beautiful location and a nice, quiet retreat from the craziness of the Disney parks.

Nadelen:: We did have to wait quite a while for the boats to Disney Springs.

Voordelen:: The convenience to Disney parks and magic bands to enter room etc.

Nadelen:: The bedding was as clean as I would have like found some hairs on the bed.

Voordelen:: Location at disney ok. Nice grounds bus good and boats good. The gifts for my mom and dad were wonderful and thoughtfu l thank you.

Nadelen:: Dirty linen on one bed with stains on top sheet. My dad found a dead grass cricket crawling under the bed. Door randomly works with magicband. We notice the door bent and not flush with the frame on door therefore making very noise room. To much to list

Voordelen:: Everyone was super friendly and helpful, I was traveling with my mom who needed a walker for assistance to get around and the staff was very understanding to her needs.

Nadelen:: Some of the food selections, were not as good.

Voordelen:: Compact size, beignets

Nadelen:: Bus transportation was not good.

Voordelen:: My family and I loved this resort! The pool was great and so was the food! The boat to Disney Spring was a plus too! We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Nadelen:: Nope all was great!

Voordelen:: All the little Disney touches! From room decor to building design. Good job, Imagineers!

Nadelen:: No, we had a wonderful time.

Voordelen:: The atmosphere

Nadelen:: Nothing

Voordelen:: Campsites were clean and secluded. The community of campers and resort staff are friendly and fun. The campsites were decorated for Halloween. Even the golf carts were decorated elaborately for Halloween. There’s lots to do so we wish we had fewer park tickets next time to enjoy the grounds more:

Nadelen:: We were assigned a full hook up site in the 1700s which is off a side road within the grounds and we could hear the buses from inside our camper. I would have liked a quieter inside camp site instead of an outer site near the road.

Voordelen:: Op Disney eigendom

Nadelen:: Kamer niet schoon. Insect probleem. Moesten verhuizen.

Voordelen:: Staff

Nadelen:: No

Voordelen:: The beds

Nadelen:: Not very convenient. No room service. Problems getting food delivered.

Voordelen:: Theme

Nadelen:: The buildings were confusing and hard to get around

Voordelen:: It was a great place and a large room

Nadelen:: No everything was great

Nadelen:: It was just a far walk from the lobby, but it was close to the one bus stop and was quiet so I know I can't have everything. :)

Voordelen:: location near Disney Springs

Nadelen:: Construction going on made it difficult to access the pool with a mom who uses a walker.

Voordelen:: The hotel had nice pools, the staff was friendly and helpful and the food court had a nice selection of food. The food court did get busy I. The morning but when there wasn't any seating you could sit in the restaurant.

Voordelen:: Good food, helpful staff, clean rooms

Voordelen:: This is my favorite Disney property to stay at. Just an all-around nice property, great food area and a variety of places to eat.

Nadelen:: This is a large property, expect to walk large distances to get to the main food eating area and main pool. I don't mind but I have heard others complain.

Voordelen:: We love both Port Orleans properties. Beautiful grounds, kids love the pool, great food and love the boat to Disney Springs

Nadelen:: We have stayed here many times, but this visit-room was very dirty-spills on counters, hair ball on the bath floor, huge dust bunnies under the bed, empty soap and Kleenex box in bath. Also a dirty linen bag outside of our door entire stay.

Voordelen:: Beautiful grounds! Friendly staff except in the food court. The cashier couldn't be bothered. I disturbed her from picking her nails!!! No hello or thank you! I expect better than that!!!

Voordelen:: Love Port Orleans Riverside!

Nadelen:: Said that we would get a $10 gift card for each nights stay but only received one.

Voordelen:: Great hotel and location! The staff were very helpful, polite, and courteous. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Voordelen:: This hotel is super cute and perfect for a Disney getaway!

Voordelen:: Theming is amazing! Disney always gets it right. Proximity to the new skyliner was great.

Nadelen:: The rooms are small. We knew this ahead of time. They also have not been updated like some of Disney’s other value resorts. Check in was slow, but overall it was a great experience.

Voordelen:: On disney property. Loved the theming.

Nadelen:: Didn’t love theory walk from our room to the main building.

Voordelen:: It was a perfect hotel! cleanliness and location were great. We received an upgrade on our room which was AMAZING!!

Voordelen:: The theming is great and depending on your room location the transportation options are great

Nadelen:: If you get put in the little mermaid section the rooms are dated and need to be updated also it’s a long walk to the main hall

Voordelen:: The hotel has the new Skyliner system that made traveling between your resort and Epcot, or Hollywood Studios a breeze.

Nadelen:: The prices for the quality of food you got was very high at the resort. The ice cream at the pool bar was disgusting. The beds are very short. Anyone 6” or taller will have their feet hanging off the bed. Toilet paper is more like sand paper.

Voordelen:: Location, value. The Pool is nice and lot of food options in the cafeteria-style eatery. Very family friendly.

Nadelen:: A little outdated furniture that needed to be replaced only because it was obviously worn. The beds are small so you'll be tight if it's more than one person to a bed.

Voordelen:: Part of the Disney resort

Nadelen:: Our room did not have functioning internet and no cellular signal. There were not working vending machines

Voordelen:: Very nice pool area if you are with children. On site laundry facilities.

Nadelen:: Resort is so spread out. Only one location for coffee and our building was very far from the central location. In room WiFi didn't work at all. I would stay here again but closer to the main building.

Voordelen:: Location, staff

Nadelen:: Nothing

Voordelen:: The location and the overall friendliness of the staff.

Nadelen:: The check in was bad and took longer than they told me it would.

Voordelen:: Everything was great.

Nadelen:: The only thing that makes me give an Okay review for this hotel is the fact that from the moment you arrive the staff is asking you to take a tour of Wyndham so that they can sell you ownership at Wyndham in other words so they can sell you a timeshare if you say no they will ask again so don’t think a simple no will be OK. Other than that pressure the hotel was great staff was AMAZING and the pools beautiful and very close to the parks.

Voordelen:: I attended with my husband and 2 younger children and 2 older children. We all had something to do. I like the different activities and chance to just relax. Everyone loved the numerous pools, lazy rivers, and there were many Jacuzzi hot tusb that we always found that it wasn't crowded. I will definitely stay again.

Voordelen:: The resort is close to everything. We used the grills almost nightly. Lots of things for the kids to do.

Nadelen:: The maid didn't come once during our 5 night stay. When we got to our room the tub was leaking from the handle. The fan that drys the tub came on scaring my kids. We called the front desk and it was fixed quickly but I feel the maid should have caught it when she cleaned. I also didn't like how they try to get you to buy the timeshare.

Voordelen:: We love the location of this resort for our Disney World vacations!

Nadelen:: Tower 5’s lazy river shut down part way through our stay for resurfacing, which of course was our son’s favorite pool. The bathroom layout of the three bedroom Presidential doesn’t afford much privacy to the nines-master wing of the suite.

Voordelen:: It's on Disney Property, good for family to spend time together rather then having two separate hotel rooms.

Nadelen:: They waste your time trying to get you to buy a time share. They tell you to go to a different area to get parking pass and then keep you
