Lake Buena Vista makes a brilliant base for Walt Disney World, so when you're booking your stay online with us, make sure you add on your Disney Magic Tickets at the same time. Why? Well, there's a number of reasons...
Simply add them on at the 'Extras' stage of the journey when booking online.

Cool off with slides, wave pools and lazy rivers at Disney’s water parks. Which one is open can vary during the year, so check the schedule for your travel dates.
From waterfront dining at The BOATHOUSE to wine and small plates at Wine Bar George, Disney Springs makes dinner part of the outing. For a special-occasion meal, Capa at Four Seasons Orlando pairs Spanish-inspired dining with views towards the parks.

Flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and heading straight to the magic? Lake Buena Vista is just 18 miles away, or roughly a 25-minute drive, making it an easy and quick trip.
If you’re staying in Lake Buena Vista, the good news is you might not need to hire a car at all! With Walt Disney World Resort just around the corner, shuttle services and plenty of resort transportation options make getting around a breeze. But if you want to explore further afield a rental car gives you the freedom to go where the adventure takes you.
You’re in luck. Many Lake Buena Vista Resort hotels offer shuttle buses to Walt Disney World parks like Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Some of these are complimentary, but some may require a charge in resort, so please check when choosing your hotel.
You may also need to make advanced reservations 24 hours before you require the shuttle service, but this is not always the case.
For most resorts in Lake Buena Vista, the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks are only a 5 to 10-minute drive away, depending on which park you’re heading to. Universal Orlando Resort is likely to be roughly 15 mins drive away.
And with a ton of complimentary shuttle services available from your hotel, you can leave the car behind and let the magic come to you.
For those who love a touch of luxury and convenience, the area offers a range of stunning hotels, many of which are just minutes from Walt Disney World. Stay at iconic spots like Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels or indulge in Disney Partner resorts, where you’ll get exclusive perks like early park access and complimentary transportation.
For a more home-away-from-home experience, why not opt for a villa? Perfect for families or larger groups, these spacious vacation homes give you the freedom to spread out and enjoy private amenities like pools, kitchens, and living areas. Plus, many villas are just a short drive from the parks, making them an ideal option for those who want comfort and convenience rolled into one.
