Wyndham Lake Buena Vista | HONEST REVIEW | DO NOT STAY at this Disney Springs Resort Area Hotel

#wyndham #disneyworld #hotel

It's safe to safe that I wasn't impressed by the extremely overpriced hotel on my visit in December 2021. If you're thinking of booking here, I've listed some reasons on why you may want to reconsider.

The rest of my trip I spent at the Avanti Palms Resort and Conference Center, and with the cost savings compared to the Disney Springs Area Hotel (Wyndham Lake Buena Vista) I couldn't recommend it enough. The resort fees alone would cover and taxis required each day to Disney property.

I've stayed at this hotel three times because of its prime location to everything and I have never had a bad experience here. The staff was fantastic, the check in and check out experience was seamless. The pool was perfect Temp as I always visit at March - July.

Omg. The complaints are ridiculous. “Every time I go to that desk they send me to the main one”. Then why do you keep going there? “There’s always a queue”. Yeah. People are checking in and out day. “The pool is cold. In December. The last time I was here (in the end of summer in September) the pool was warm”. God forbid you had to hang your swimsuit on the towel rack. “It’s dripping all over the back of the toilet”. Then wring it out before hanging it.

The shuttles are obvi not the best, but you can go right to Disney springs and get official Disney transportation buses.

If you cut your whining in half, you would have saved yourself hours on this trip.

Yes, ants are GROSS in a hotel room. That’s nasty.

Kind of funny since I just got back from staying at that hotel for 8 days and all of the points you have brought up in this video are all false. The bus shuttle to the parks was amazing, the pool was perfect temp, the room was great with a clean coffee maker.

In terms of swim gear u usually just hang it over the shower curtain rod

Hey Stuart! I recommend the moderate Disney Resorts: Coranado Springs, Carribean Beach and especially Port Orleans (Fench Quarter or East Side). I think they are the best bang for the buck. Swan and Dolphin might be worthy as well but I've never stayed personally.Disney

I just stayed there in October 2021 for the start of WDW 50th Anniversary. The hotel is clean, it's a hop, skip, and a jump over the bridge to Springs, If you book through Disney, they have packages that have park tickets, discounts on restaurants, gift shops and souvenirs. Booking through Disney also removes the extra resort fee normally charged at checkout. Transportation to the parks is simple free and actuality much more comfortable than Disney resort Transportation. Finally watching the fireworks from bed, you can't beat that. I'm booked to be back in September.

Thank-you for this review, I have been trying to decide where to stay and this has really helped me make a decision.

That one employee at the front desk is cool

Stop complaining man the place is fine I stay there all the time. If you want more upscale pay more and stay at Hilton on the other side of the walkway it’s roughly 500-600/night. Wyndham is a good value.

[shalolalee]

Can you still walk into disney springs over the walking bridge and into Disney springs or do you have to walk around to find a security entrance?

[charlenethompson]

you are looking for utopia dude. Good luck!

[yorkieterrier]

Really enjoyed this. It was very helpful. We have visited WDW three times and have had differing experiences. We have had a car each time so have had to pay the parking fees at the parks. It was 15 dollars a day last time (January 2020). You have convinced me that is what we need to do next time too.

Thank you for the info. My daughter is allergic to ants. If she gets bit she can go into anaphylactic shock. Can't take that chance.

[hectorescobar]

Wow!!
We used to stay in that hotel way back when it was called Grosvenor
All the benefits of staying at the hotel plaza boulevard hotels was the only reason why stay there. Now all those benefits are gone. Why stay there??? We are so sorry you have to go thru that. What a shame.
We don't know how family's can afford to vacation in Disney world
now days it is way too expensive.
They have taken so much away and charge you more.
You pay more for less.
Any Way we like to thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

[reginaobrien]

Wow. I appreciate this so much! I was thinking about booking this or one of the other Disney Springs hotels. Ugh. Good to know the situation.
Not worth saving the few bucks compared to a Disney value resort!

Fuckin hell you like a winge don't you. These reason are so petty 😂

I stayed at the Wyndham lake Buena Vista last year in May 2021. I cannot say this is a luxury resort, but it was clean and comfortable. We had no ants in the bathroom and I am thinking that if you had a problem with ants you should have had informed the front desk and they should have had either moved you from that room or taken care of the ant problem by calling an exterminator. Number three, you complained about the temperature of the pools. You were there in December which is not normally a warm time in Orlando. I used both pools when I was there in May. One is heated and one is not. The one that was not heated was a little cold but the one with the waterfall was nice and warm and comfortable basically the perfect temperature. Number four you're complaining about transportation buses. When I was there last May there were no transportation or buses available because of covid so we walk to Disney springs which is a very short walk and there are buses there to every resort and park that Disney has. That is what we did we caught the buses at Disney springs or we called an Uber. I understand that this is not a luxury resort but it is a good resort. It is close to Disney springs and from Disney springs you could get to any of the resorts and parks in Disney. I understand maybe you don't want to walk through Disney springs and you want to take the shuttle from the hotel but we didn't even have that available when we were there in May and we found it very convenient to have all the buses for Disney available a short walk away. Nothing is perfect and I am a big complainer when it comes to staying in resorts that I am not happy with but this was not a bad resort. The only thing that would drive me crazy would be any kind of pest in the room like the issue you had with the ants. That issue could be easily taken care of by informing the front desk and having yourself removed from that room to another room or having them come and exterminate the bathroom. For some reason ants are attracted to water especially in Florida because I have seen ants in bathrooms in Miami when I stayed there years ago. I think you're complaints are silly and no I do not work for this company but I have stayed there before and I was happy with it. It's not a luxury resort but it's a comfortable family resort. You're just a complaining man.
