Off-property hotels at Disney World can be worthwhile savings on your vacation budget. While not owned by Disney, resorts on Hotel Plaza Boulevard are considered “Official Walt Disney World” hotels and include some of the same perks of on-property hotels. If you are searching for budget-friendly options, a stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista might be for you.

Wyndham Lake Buena Vista is a 10 minute walk from Disney Springs.

Why You Should Stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista

You should stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista for many reasons, but the most important are the convenient location, theme park perks, and cost savings. Many visitors to Walt Disney World make it a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, but that memorable trip isn’t without a cost. If you want to maximize your budget without sacrificing quality, consider staying at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista.

The daily resort fee includes roundtrip bus transportation to the Disney parks. Buses run continuously every hour from one hour before park opening until 90 minutes after park closing. Parking in a Disney parking lot can cost upwards of $20/day, so this is an excellent feature for guests who choose to stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista.

Dining at the Wyndham

Enjoy breakfast in the Lakeview Restaurant while staying at Wyndham. It is just as good as other breakfasts option. A bonus for families? Wyndham Lake Buena Vista serves iconic Mickey Mouse waffles!


Another Disney perk is an onsite Joffrey’s Coffee Shop. Serving that Disney Parks coffee we all know and love, Joffrey’s also has bakery items and coffee alternatives if you’re in the mood for something different.

Sundial Cafe is open 24/7 for grab-and-go items like sandwiches, snacks, and beverages.

Room Choices

There are two areas of the same Wyndham property. The “tower” is Wyndham Lake Buena Vista. The “wings” on either side of the tower are Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista. The only differences between the two are the location and price point.

The expansive pool area has several water features and a splash area for little ones. The pool’s restaurant and bar, Oasis, is excellent for grabbing a quick bite or a drink. Unlike other resorts, you won’t have to walk far to enjoy Oasis’s top-notch service.
