For the vast majority of travelers, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the primary choice, as it serves as the closest gateway to Lake Buena Vista and provides the widest variety of transport options. Note that none of these airports are located within Lake Buena Vista itself, which is a resort-focused destination; Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) are in the neighboring Orlando metropolitan area, while Tampa International Airport (TPA), St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE), and Lakeland Linder International Airport (LAL) serve the Tampa and Lakeland regions. If you are budget-conscious, Orlando International Airport (MCO) offers the most cost-effective public transport. Travelers flying into the Tampa or Lakeland areas should be prepared for longer, more expensive ground transfers, typically involving either a rental car for flexibility or a pre-arranged private shuttle for convenience. Always check your flight destination carefully, as arriving in the wrong city can significantly add to your travel time and costs.

Disney World Resort Lake Buena Vista|3.59km from city center
We love the proximity to Disney Springs. We have stayed at this hotel many times and love it. We got our free water and coffee vouchers when we checked in and picked up some quick eats at the Market Store. There was live entertainment in the evenings when we were there and we enjoyed sitting in the lobby listening to it while having a drink. The room was spacious and clean and met all of our needs. Our 2 young grandsons visited there and loved the Mickey Ice Cream statue in the lobby. We were able to get some great pictures.FromUS$147

This hotel is very good. It is closest to MK. The second floor of the hotel can take the small train directly to MK. At night, there are many people who take the train from MK. At this time, you can take the cruise ship to Pier 2 and return to the hotel. Come to Orlando Disneyland the whole journey ~ you need to stay in a hotel, you don't need to change hotels at all (don't ask me how I know). This hotel has cruises, trains, buses to choose from, and UBER is also very convenient.
The hotel room is large, the health is very good, there is a hand-held shower, not the kind of wall-mounted can not be picked off, it is also convenient.
The hotel restaurant closed on time at 21:00. We came back late. We didn't eat dinner. We took half a bag of biscuits. If we want to go back to the hotel for dinner, we have to arrange a time.FromUS$722

Fort Wilderness is the best. Housekeeping is so friendly and do an excellent job with the cabins. My only gripe is with some of the bus drivers--let me be clear, MOST drivers are awesome people, but some are just plain rude. If the signs on the bus clearly stated where they were going next, it would reduce the need to ask questions about where the bus is going (especially since the sign will say Magic Kingdom, instead of its true next stop, Wilderness Lodge). During our last trip in January, we checked in and walked to the the bus stop. We didn't see the crosswalk so we walked in front of one of the 4 parked busses. The lady yelled at us and honked the horn as we got to the curb. What a great way to start a Disney trip!
Oh and you need to rent a golf cart--it's a must--otherwise you will be waiting for busses all day. FromUS$482

My mom and I go to WDW monthly and have tried all sorts of hotels, both on and off property. This HIlton is one of our favorites from a value standpoint. The location only makes sense if you're planning on taking advantage of Disney Springs, which is 500 meters from the hotel via elevated walkways, because it has lots of good restaurants, whereas the hotel itself doesn't. The lazy river pool is one of the hotel's other big carrots, and it doesn't disappoint. I stayed in the same room both during both visits because my mom requested an accessible room near the elevator. This floor plan is definitely sub optimal (e.g. long hallway between the sleeping area and the shower room, but standard rooms looked just like you'd expect them too. The short of it is that liked this hotel enough to return a second time, which is pretty good because none of the others have made that cut.FromUS$186

It definitely one of the best location for staying if you are going to the Disney World. It's close to Disney world as they provide shuttle busses to all parks in every hour which is very convenient and suitable for those who have various schedules, and the Disney Spring is also just next to it like 10 mins walk. Hotel was clean, the room was big. Overall, its pretty nice.FromUS$121

Overall the hotel was great. We had a beautiful view of Disney Springs and enjoyed every second of that. However one of the night we were there the room next to us was partying a little too hard. At 12:30 AM they were playing music and singing karaoke. We called the front desk and they didn’t do anything so after 30 minutes of waiting we went downstairs to the front desk and asked them to send someone up. We could literally hear them when we got off the elevator and we they were 2 rooms off the end. When security did end up coming up and telling them to quiet down or they were going to kick them out they ended up leaving for the night. Other than that 10/10 experience!FromUS$101

It was very convenient to be able to travel from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to each park by bus.
There are frequent ferries to and from Disney Springs from the ferry dock inside the hotel, so it is also very convenient for going shopping at Disney Springs.
The hotel was a lodge-style hotel divided into several buildings, so I had to walk a bit from my room to the entrance, but I had requested a room near the bus stop in advance, so they arranged for me a room very close to the bus stop.
Food was also available via mobile ordering, so I hardly experienced any language barriers.
I was able to relax as if it were my own home during my stay, and it was a very happy stay.FromUS$258

This is a very nice and well-maintained hotel that, overall, makes a good impression, especially considering the price. It has a beautiful lobby with a small convenience store for groceries, a bar, and information about local tours and activities. The room's furnishings aren't brand new – the curtain was torn and the furniture showed usual wear and tear – but it was clean and free of any unwelcome pests. The bathroom was spotless and came with good quality shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The towels smelled fresh and were pleasant to use. There was also a small fridge and a safe, as well as an iron and ironing board. I relied on the Lynx Bus, and there's a stop right in front of the hotel for line 350, which runs every 30 minutes from Orlando Downtown to Disney Springs. Several restaurants and supermarkets are within a 5-10 minute walk. This hotel is perfect if you want something close to Disney parks and affordable. I didn't have a rental car for two weeks, and everything was manageable with Lynx buses or Uber/Lyft.FromUS$78

Good stay at the DoubleTree Disney Springs area - as a rewards member for Hilton I was able to have an early check in plus an upgrade on the booked room - this probably had a lot to do with the fact that it's off peak season. Given a welcome cookie and free water vouchers (to redeem in the marketplace) for the days there.
The upgraded room was on the 5th floor (501) away from the elevators, overlooking the pool area. the suite sleeps 6 people: 2 double beds, 1 sofa bed. both beds were comfortable as was the sofa. Plenty of room for a family to enjoy. The suite had a door to divide the bedroom/bathoom and living room area but only had 1 bathroom which needs maintenance - the bath was low and somewhat dirty, the water was cold (felt more so as there was a cold spell in the area). The kitchenette was basic, a little sink, fridge, microwave, coffee machine and enough space to prep basic meal in addition to a table. There was noise from the close-by motorway, but not enough to disrupt the nights sleep/stay.
Overall a good stay, with good service from the staff - recommended for larger parties who want to be close to disney springs but also the area outside the disney bubble, both of these areas are within a walkable distance of around 15~20mins from the hotel, the hotel also offers shuttle bus service to the disney parks areas and welcome booklet with discounts.FromUS$118

We were going to stay at a Disney resort hotel, but cost was a factor. Then we saw Drury hotel. Book this place. 100% book this place.
Rooms:
Our standard room is large, very good AC, fridge, coffee machine and microwave are all in the room.
Bed is clean, large, comfortable, with many pillows.
There is a large table with 2 chairs and a dressing table with another chair. And there is still so much room to move around.
Windows are super large and offer a great view.
A iron and ironing board, safe and area to hang clothes are also in the room
Bathroom
Large, clean towels everyday, but the only negative I would say is that the shower head is an overhead one without a handheld attachment. This downside is overshadowed by the other hotel features.
Food
Breakfast is 7-10am. Consists of eggs, pancakes, bagels, bread, yogurt, biscuits/crumpets, waffles int he shape of micky mouse, oatmeal, other cereal, tea, coffee, soft drinks and juice. All made fresh, all tastes good.
The best thing about this place is what they call the ‘kickback.
From 5.30-7.30pm everyday they serve dinner. Each day has a different menu but it’s usually chicken, veg, salad, all the same drink options from breakfast, hotdogs, burgers, and much more.
Along side this, from 4.30pm - 8pm they offer free popcorn and drinks.
The evening kickback meal is a lifesaver!! Firstly, its free, but more importantly, afFromUS$190
