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.

Average Hotel.
Good central location. Amenities outdated. Old TV buzzed and had static until you smacked the top of it. Had very basic TV package with only a few channels. Balcony door was screwed shut. One closet door was missing. Saw same used towel on the floor in the elevator for 2 days. Pool needed to be cleaned because it had alot of tree leaves floating in it. Ticket help desk in lobby was only interested in pushing time shares!!!!! Not helping you get any deal on park tickets.

In Hotel
Avoid the desk in the lobby that says Theme Park Tickets. I waited 15 min on line to try and get tickets to Sea World and all the woman at the desk tried to do was get me to visit a timeshare. I told her i was not interested several times and that i just wanted tickets to the park and she still tried to talk me into the time share visit. She then looked at her computer and told me that the Sea world ticket price would be $300 for 2 tickets with out visiting the time share. I left her desk, went to the business center and bought tickets online for both Sea World and Aquatica water park for $99.

Surprise!
My only issue with the hotel was the shady fees. You pay $10 a night for parking. You also pay a daily resort fee. I was waiting to see if there was a air cleaning fee for our breathing. Don't get me wrong the hotel was BEAUTIFUL, but I hate shadiness. We thought we were paying $78 a night but after fees and all it was about $108 a night. The hotel is great and the service is great I just wish they would cut the fees and just put it in the price per night so you don't feel like you are getting a deal until you see all the fees when you checkout. I hope this helps.

The Gaylor Palms Resort is the most amazing place I have ever seen. There are 2 or 3 different restaurants inside it. If you have time it is well worth the time to just walk around.

Quick Trip
Great location. Room was available at check in and upgraded us to deluxe. Room was big, clean and temp was comfortably cool. Did not appreciate the $10.00 parking fee surprise. Parking card a bit annoying, have to use to enter and exit. Have stayed several times in the past and will stay again.

wow
We were celebrating our 43rd anniversary and the hotel was nice enought to upgrade us. The staff was excellant, friendly and very accomadating. During breakfast which came with room, we watched a man make ballons for children. We have never seen someone make the animals, super heros, etc. like he does. He was great and had the attention of the children the entire time. Thank you Royal Plaza for a great stay. Hotel located very close to attractions, resturants and great view from our room of Disney World.
