Elegant rooms and casual dining in the heart of Downtown Disney
Elegant on-site dining, casual poolside meals, spacious guest rooms and free transportation to Disney theme parks and water parks make the Royal Plaza a great choice for a memorable Disney experience. Located in the heart of Downtown Disney, attractions such as shopping, a 24-screen cinema and the Cirque du Soleil La Nouba show are steps away. On-site amenities at the Royal Plaza include the Disney Gift Shop, Plaza Resort Shop, heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi and diverse dining options that appeal to the entire family.
Highlights
- Fitness center, heated pool and whirlpool
- Four lighted tennis courts
- Free transportation to Disney theme parks
- Rooms have balconies or patio areas
- Free breakfast for kids 10 and younger at on-site Giraffe Cafe
Rooms
The pride of the Royal Plaza hotel is the signature Royal Bed, providing guests with all the comforts needed for a great night's sleep: a pillow-top mattress, crisp sheets, European-style duvet and plush pillows. Most bathrooms expand on luxury with granite countertops, oversized Roman bathtubs and Judith Jackson or Bath and Body Works spa amenities. A range of room options includes traditional and deluxe poolside rooms, premier Jacuzzi rooms and executive suites, all with wired and wireless Internet access and a coffee-maker.
Features
Golfers staying at the Royal Plaza take advantage of preferred tee times at all four championship Disney golf courses. After a round of 9 or 18 holes, book an in-room massage to soothe aching muscles.
Dining
For each paying adult at The Giraffe Cafe, one child age 10 and under eats free for breakfast and dinner. The filling breakfast buffet includes cooked-to-order omelets. Mom and dad take advantage of babysitting services at the Royal Plaza and return to The Giraffe Lounge for cocktails, pool tables, dart boards and TVs showing the hottest sports events.
Guests who like to lounge by the pool don't have to go far for a drink and a snack -- Sips Pool Bar offers appetizers and sandwiches. Guests in the mood for a private meal request in-room dining for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Fresh Air 1
Shuttle service to Magic Kingdom is a joke.
The only reason we stayed here was to take advantage of the free shuttle service. The hotel itself was OK. The rooms are dated and in desperate need of renovation. Our room kind of smelled like a locker room. Hopefully they can get that smell out. Luckily we did not spend a lot of time in the room. The shuttle service is horrible. First of all, its standing room only on the bus. Not fun when you have kids and strollers that you need to carry yourself. Shuttle was on time, but takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the park with all the stops at the hotels. Huge crowd for bus at end of day. Very unimpressed. I will drive next time.

Good price, no frills
I was here only 2 nights on business, attending a conference at the Dolphin Hotel at Disney - a $15 cab ride away (before tip), as this hotel is not on the Disney bus circuit. The room was fine - clean, comfortable enough. The hotel bar was good enough and they had free Internet access. The TV was an older model with not a lot of stations available - fine for my purposes, not so good for kids or if you want to watch HBO and such, or even MSNBC. My only real complaint was the AC unit was really loud - I wound up shutting it off at night. With temps in the 60s that was OK - in warmer months, probably not so much.

Not as great the second time around
I stayed @ this location a little over a year ago & stayed on the 4th floor. The room was large, the bathroom was huge & the beds were large/comfy, This time around when I booked this room I expected the same. But that wasnt the case. Our room was in the back of the hotel where it felt was the original hotel. Run down, old & dirty. In the defense of the hotel I called right away & they moved us into the tower on level 3, I just feel bad for those people that get the room & dont know that they have rooms way better for the same price. Also it was just me & my boyfriend in a room with 2 full size beds. Yes they were comfy but way to small.

LINDA and friend
Universal trip
The room was nothing special. There was mold on the window drapes. The bathroom looked new with fresh paint and new shower tiles. The gated parking lot was not working I had to get a hotel worker to open the gate. Several other customers had the same problem and this created a backup in the lot. I would not go back as there are lots of other hotels to try.

Disappointing overnight stay
I had hoped to have a nice clean and comfortable stay for a one night training event I attended. However, I was disappointed in the quality of the hotel as far as cleanliness of the room I stayed in. Also, was not told that I would have an additional 'Resort Fee' to pay on arrival. I felt this was really taking advantage of the all inclusive price I had already paid. I did not attend the hotel for the Resort features. The really good thing about the stay was that the internet connectivity in the room could also be used in the lobby so I caught up on work while waiting for transport to the airport.

Average, not a 4 stars hotel.
Well this hotel is definetlly not a 4 star, the rooms are outdated and smell to cigarrette, they look like 80's movie. Do not take the valet parking they want to charge u 16 dollar, and if u park urself it is for free. The rooms have a "FEE" of 18 dollars per day, they do that because you see a low price online then u rserve it, but when u have to pay, u see that "Additional Fee" and make this hotel too much expensive for what it is. The staff is acceptable. The breakfast is super expensive. I not recommend to go there for that money...

The Giraffe cafe is delicous too, we ate breakfast and dinner there. ( the steak is the best I have ever eaten ) The pool area was nice and clean as was the laundry facilities. I will definately return to this hotel!

We used the bus service the first day and it was rather long, so we chose to drive to the parks. The buses were free, but we chose to pay the parking fee at the parks, it was worth it to us.

Quick Trip
Although the hotel is a bit outdated, the location and shuttle services made everything worthwhile, especially if your going to Orlando for the Disney experience. My room was clean, the shuttles running to and from the hotel were frequent, the staff did their job, and the price was right!
