My 24, 2024 – (Lake Buena Vista, FL.) – First-time or even regular visitors to the Walt Disney World® Resort need look no further than the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs® Resort Complex for a base to stay if value for money, proximity and multiple planning options are top requirements.
The Wyndham and Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs® hotels are both official Walt Disney World Resort hotels and they are located just a short walk away from Disney Springs®, which offers an abundance of shopping, dining and entertainment options.
And if your main reason for being in Orlando is the Walt Disney World Resort, then you can take advantage of an hourly shuttle service to all 4 Walt Disney World Theme Parks as well as 30-minute early access into those parks by virtue of being a hotel guest.
“We offer value and so many options to our guests,” said Jay Leonard, who is now in his 17th year as General Manager. “We’re two hotels, so you have such an advantage. We look at ourselves as a value resort and a mid-scale resort so, from a price point, you have two choices and I think that’s important for customers coming into town.”
If you’d enjoy an evening of musical entertainment at the House of Blues, a wide array of dinner options or you want to take in Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil & Disney, then you are perfectly situated for all that and more at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort Complex.
“And we’re ideally located here on Lake Buena Vista, with Disney Springs® just minutes away on foot over a pedestrian bridge out in front of our hotel lobby,” said Leonard. “It is estimated that well over 20 million visitors go to Disney Springs. Its food experience is probably second to none in this community.”
In fact, the many attractions in Disney Springs are more than enough for many visitors.

“There are people who come here, especially around the holidays, who don’t go to the park,” said Leonard. “Especially over Thanksgiving and Christmas, when they start thinking about doing their holiday shopping. I have had people stay at our hotel just because there’s a concert happening over at the House of Blues – they’ll come here, spend the weekend, and maybe go to The Boathouse, Wolfgang Puck or STK for dinner.”
Guests at the Wyndham and Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs hotels can take advantage of many shared amenities. A recent room renovation includes 394 newly reimagined garden-themed rooms for the value-minded guest, plus another 232 rooms in the upscale 19-story Wyndham LBV overlooking Disney Springs, which features a lake house motif.

Seasonal room rates in the complex range from $109 to $229 per night and the two hotels are located just 17 miles from Orlando International Airport. Paid transportation options to and from the airport include ride-share services Uber & Lyft and Mears Connect, which is available 24 hours a day.
“Then you have people coming here for bridal shower festivities at Disney Springs, or for the AMC theater where they do movie introductions for Marvel and stuff like that,” said Leonard. “Then you have Cirque that people are coming in to see. So, there are lots of good reasons why you can come to our hotel.”
The dining options at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort Complex are also plentiful.
The Lakeview Restaurant, where Mickey Mouse waffles are a star attraction, offers an All-American breakfast buffet in a relaxed atmosphere while the outdoor Oasis Restaurant and its newly re-imagined poolside eatery features a delicious chef-inspired menu as well as refreshing beverages.
Located in the hotel lobby, the Eclipse Lounge is a favorite place to meet for daily happy hour and cocktails as evening begins or to celebrate the end of a fun-filled, action-packed day at the theme parks. Here guests can enjoy some of Florida’s finest spirits and craft brews, handcrafted cocktail prepared to order, or light bites which include cheese boards and flat breads.
Other options in the hotel lobby area are The 24/7 Sundial, which offers a wide assortment of light, self-service food and beverage items, and Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company, which features barista service, unique pastries and breakfast sandwiches.
“We offer so many options to our guests,” said Leonard. “Also, I believe we have the nicest pool experience and the nicest poolside restaurant experience around here. We have transportation to and from the parks on the hour, so guests don’t have to worry about being tied down to going to one park and then moving their cars over to the next park. You can just go through the transportation system that’s existing. We’re just a good location. It’s all about location, location, location.”
The resort is a 5-minute drive to Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Club for those who want to tee it up during their stay.
“I remind everybody that we’re the third hotel ever built in Walt Disney World but, more importantly, we’re the first hotel ever built in the Disney Springs Resort area,” said Leonard. “If you play off of what the Springs is supposed to be as a turn-of-the-century community, we were the first hotel in that community. Once people get here and see our proximity to Disney Springs and what Disney Springs has to offer, they keep coming back.”
