Hotels in Disneyland Resort, Orlando

We were very pleasantly surprised by the Courtyard Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre. I have stayed at many Courtyards, but this one was the best I have stayed at. It was just recently renovated. The lobby, lobby bar, and pool are so nice. The pool has cabanas with tvs and couches, a waterslide for the kids, cornhole, ping pong tables and fire pits. There is a huge tv where you can watch games all day and they show movies at night for the kids. You can order food and drinks from the lobby bar and eat inside or take it outside to the pool or around the firepits. The hotel location is perfect if you plan on visiting the parks like we did, or if you want to visit Disney Springs or the outlet shops and there are so many restaurants nearby. The customer service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a buffet breakfast you can take advantage of and even offer Starbucks too. This Courtyard has so much to offer and I can't recommend it enough.

I loved this hotel! The transportation to Disney is so convenient and location is super close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The room was clean and very spacious. Staff were super friendly and I plan to stay here again next time I visit Disney for sure!

It is not an expensive hotel and is pretty decent for what you pay. It is very, very big and set up in the ”motel style” where all the of the rooms have an exterior entrance. They wouldn't let uber eats drivers come past the lobby, which is pretty annoying given that it is about a 5 minute walk to the lobby (and then 5 back), where as if the driver could drive right up to your building, it would take 30 seconds. Not fun when it's pouring rain (like in my case).

The phone at the front desk of the hotel is almost always unanswered. The minibar in American hotels does not provide any beverages. They only provide coffee machines and mineral water. There are no saucers, small spoons, and the kitchen cabinets are empty. I feel that my family is so poor that there is no one. The tableware 😓, the safe checkin is locked, I made a phone call, and went to the front desk face to face, and no one came after staying for three days. The hotel service in the United States cannot be compared with that in China, and the restaurant is very good!

We stayed here for one night as a staycation for a friends birthday. The atmosphere was awesome. We ate and drank at the pool all day and the staff was excellent. Shout to Valerie and Sly for taking care of us all day. There were so many pool activities to keep kiddos occupied and a dj all day. Drinks were strong and food was great. Would absolutely stay again.

The room is spacious and the overall decoration is modern and simple. The location is almost in Disney, less than 10 minutes by taxi. TV YouTube Netflix everything you can watch. It's a pity that I didn't have time to go to the swimming pool to have a look at the time.

After reading many stellar reviews, and wanting a clean new place to stay, I booked here. The price was decent, especially for a hotel close to the parks. Upon check-in, the room I booked was not available. I was disappointed, but my parking cost was comped, so I appreciated that. The Good - The hotel is in close proximity to literally EVERYTHING. Minutes from the parks, plus close to newer chain hotels, coffee, gas stations, and Target. - The hotel's bartender is amazing. Very friendly, works his butt off when it's busy, and will STILL remember your name. - Food onsite through the hotels restaurant is good, and very convenient! - The pool is clean, large, and open until 11pm, which is awesome when you return from a long hot day and want to relax. - Even though our room was across the hall from the elevators, it was mostly quiet throughout our stay, which I appreciated. - Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in the shower, which saved packing space. The Not-So-Good - Our room wasn't in great shape. With this hotel being only a few years old, it already needed repairs. The faucet was loose and spun around. - There was a crack from obvious water damage (badly patched) in the ceiling over one bed that looked like it was ready to let loose at any moment. - The light bulb in the desk lamp was out, and the bed skirts were ragged and had some holes. - The bathroom layout is odd, and it's hard to stretch out when trying to dry off. - If you want service during your stay, you must request it. This is something I struggle with, post-COVID. I miss daily service. I had to go to the front desk to request things be replenished, rather than it happening during a daily service. - The front desk did try to book another guest into our room while we were staying there. Imagine our surprise when we finally answered the door after hearing the handle jiggle four or five times. I think the person on the other side of the door was equally confused. - Breakfast is quite chaotic. There are so many stations with different types of food, and no real order to the ”flow” of it so people end up wandering aimlessly. With it being so hectic, we skipped it most days. Overall, the hotel was okay for what we needed. It was close to things we wanted to do, and quiet for a good night's sleep. Overall the service we received from the staff was good too.

Every day when the baby and her father wake up, they go to the balcony to wait for the giraffes to come over for dinner. They can go out to play after watching them. There is a special bus waiting area to go to all parks. It is very convenient to go every 30 minutes (you can see the real-time waiting time on the Disney World App. When you check in, the staff will help you bind the hotel to this app). If you need any service in the hotel, you can use a smart device in the room to summon a crew member. The staff are very enthusiastic. There are many activities in Jumbo House alone. I stayed in the hotel for a day to eat and walk, but it was still not enough. I hope that when the baby is older, I will have the opportunity to come back to play. I didn’t play in the swimming pool, game room, night tour, etc.

Clean and well decorated. Room service needs to be called by yourself. There is a free shuttle bus to pick up and drop off different Disney parks every day. Oh, by the way, guests of this hotel can enter Disney early. We only found out on the last day that it was useless. When we arrived at the hotel, we asked for a card the day before yesterday, so we could enter the park half an hour earlier. If the arrangements are made, we can play a few more times. items.

I could not have been more disappointed with this hotel. I called two months before our trip to check about shuttles to Disney and if I needed to rent a car. I was assured by the hotel staff that there were shuttles that would more than meet our needs and that renting a car would not be necessary. Well about $400 in Uber fees later, that could not have been less true. They have a shuttle that runs once a day. The shuttle to Disney doesn’t even leave the hotel until an hour after the parks are open. To return, your options are 4:00pm or 10:15pm. Not great. One night we tried to take the shuttle and arrived at the pickup point at 10:17 and the shuttle was already gone. Thus leaving us stranded at Epcot while we tried to find an Uber. I desperately called the hotel to see if there was any chance the shuttle would return and was rudely told that we had missed our chance. The next day, I called down for more shampoo and was told that if I wanted some I could come get it myself. Our room had no TV remote and my son was very proud of all the bugs he smashed. The staff was rude, condescending, and as unhelpful as they come. They also deactivated our room keys at 8:45am when checkout is at 11. On top of all this, we had to pay a resort fee. If this place is a resort, then so is my basement. As someone who travels frequently, I can honestly say that I’ve never been more disappointed with a hotel. Just do yourself a favor and stay inside the Disney parks.
