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.

Good location

Location is great. Easy to catch Disney busses. Beds were described as comfortable, but were anything but. Very small. They don't clean the floors during your stay and only wipe out your coffee cups, so you use the same cup for the week. Staff isn't the most friendly.

Crossroads mall is nearby. It is full of restaurants and has a grocery store. We were able to purchase items and eat at some good places at very reasonable prices.

Dirty cups and no towels -- "Just the basics, maam!"

While the location was good with Disney City and plenty of restaurants in the area, the room maintenance left much to be desired. We were there four nights and we had to call at least twice for towel replacements. They took our used towels, but did not replace them with fresh ones. When we did get the towels, we only got bath towels and no hand towels or wash clothes. We called a second time and only got washclothes and no hand towels. We gave up! Furthermore, the staffer we contacted never apologized and seems bothered by our call. Also, the tub/shower was never washed during our stay. My personal shower cap was either taken or thrown away, as well as a bagel and an English muffin that were wrapped and that we had saved from breakfast to eat as a snack later in the day. The worst part was that we made the complimentary coffee found in the room and realized the cups (mugs) were dirty and even had lipstick on them! It seemed they had been simply rinsed and not washed. This happened twice! We never drank the complimentary coffee. Would have been great if the hotel followed the simple basics of cleanliness and courtesy.
