Kids love the resort’s aquatic playground, Disney character breakfasts

Located across the street from Downtown Disney, the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort puts guests steps from unforgettable attractions like the Cirque du Soleil La Nouba show, Downtown Disney Marketplace and Pleasure Island. The magic is alive at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, too - Disney characters dine with resort guests three days a week. Kids love the aquatic playground, while mom and dad chill out at the poolside Oasis Bar and Grill. A complimentary shuttle is available to Disney theme parks and water parks.

Highlights
  • Four on-site restaurants, including Disney character-theme breakfasts
  • 24-hour fitness center
  • Free transportation to Disney parks
  • Two swimming pools and a hot tub
  • Kids Recreation Zone equals fun time with organized activities
Rooms

Comfortable, cozy rooms at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort sport a contemporary look with dark woods and striking red bedding. In upgraded rooms, wake up to views of Walt Disney World Resort, panoramic cityscapes, or the hotel's aquatic playground, pool and Lake Buena Vista. Standard courtyard rooms provide unbeatable value, with two double beds, exterior doors, Wi-Fi Internet access, refrigerator, in-room safe and coffee. Suites offer separate living and dining space with sweeping views.

Features

Get the vacation started at the aquatic playground. Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort guests enjoy two pools, lush landscaping and a large hot tub overlooking Lake Buena Vista. Kids love interactive water features like spraying water cannons.

 

Is there a cooler job title than Director of Fun? With an ever-changing schedule of games, the resort's activities planner makes sure kids of all ages have a magical day at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort. Breakfast with Disney characters is also a must - the gang stops by on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in the Lakeview Restaurant.

Dining

The Lakeview Restaurant is famous for its Disney character breakfasts, but also be sure to stop by for dinner, when lake views and fine dining combine for an elegant, relaxing experience.

Nice Location

Location was perfect for the cost - within yards of Disney. Overall, a little dated, but not a show stopper. Room was basic and probably showed the most age. Nothing to complain about, though.

Wished we got our king size bed.

For the most part everything went well. Our only complaint is we booked for a king size bed and was told when we got there that were none available and had to settle for a queen. There were no offers of a discount.

Disney cheerleading competition stay

the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort is not a Hotel. It is a Motel. the access to your room is from the outside. There is no mention of this in their hotel site. There are some inside rooms at a HUGE price. The room was comfortable, no exhaust in the bathroom, did have free wifi, food at hotel very expensive. I was not impressed with this MOTEL and for the price would not stay again.

Great Hotel, Definitely Reccomend

This hotel was a GREAT deal! The hotel staff were extremely nice and helpful and the rooms were in good shape and clean. My only (small) complaint was that the air conditioner was kind of loud, but not a big deal. The pool area is also very nice with a bar/grill. One of the best things about this hotel was the great location, right next to Downtown Disney (5 min or less walk) and access to restaurant/shopping center within a mile or less away (10-15 min if you walk). Also, the bus transportation (incl. in resort fee) to and from the Disney parks was convenient and easy!

Enjoyed my stay

Needed a hotel to stay at last minute in order to run the Disney Marathon. Nice property at great value. Good staff. The only issue I had was the restaurant. Not very good options.
