Best Western Lake Buena Vista Expansion

Each room in the new wing comes with it's own squatting raccoon or pigeon family!

That would apply for the lower level rooms only, any upper level rooms have yet to be built. FWIW, Drury usually charges more for the room, the higher it is.

This hotel has an opening date, October 27, 2022. Only part of it will be available, with the rest completed in spring 2023.

Here's a link to the press release with more information: https://www.druryhotels.com/about/p...tel-orlando-lake-buena-vista-nears-completion

This should be a very solid addition to the Disney Springs area.

The rooms in the original tower weren't so luxe. Felt more like a motel.

Hope the new rooms are better and they use the opportunity to refresh the original tower room.

But... it was convenient being able to walk to DS and get in the bubble.

Mid January $213 all in with breakfast, drinks and snacks at 5:30 and close to the parks?
Disney needs to be concerned

There's even cheaper rooms at that hotel, which is typical with the Disney Springs hotels.

They usually get you with a parking fee ($25/day) and resort fee (usually $20-$30/day).

I'm surprised, tho, that Drury is "waiving" the resort fee.

Disney Springs hotels have their own shuttles to the parks (multiple stops). If you have a car, you can just drive to the parks. Or get a Ride-Hailing lift. Or walk to the nearest Saratoga stop to get in the bubble (and be dropped off at Disney Springs going back).

I stayed there years ago, and the rooms were very dated and dingy. I hope they renovated all the tower rooms when they added the extension.

I have stayed other Drury property and they tout the free parking so maybe they will control but discount it

At first, I thought the link here on the front page was a new render of the DVC coming to Seven Seas...

Free hot breakfast every morning and Free 5:30 Kickback® in the evening. Nice.

For those that haven’t stayed at a Drury - the free hot breakfast is similar to, or better than what most hotels charge for a breakfast buffet. It’s a legit hot breakfast buffet (still mass produced food of course) with several options.

The kickback includes wine and beer at the bar (you usually get a card for 2-3 drinks per adult guest in the room), and is a small dinner with a salad bar, baked potatoes, hot dogs, etc.

Drury’s are quite nice and usually a good value. They are privately owned so just like chik-fil-a, in-n-out, etc. they can run the business anyway they want and provide exceptional service.

Just curious but will the road to the hotel's entrance have a name? If so they should call it Drury Lane. Maybe having someone there who sell muffins wouldn't be too much of a stretch either.

Are the shuttles to the parks from Drury Disney shuttles? Mainly, do the shuttles handle scooters?

The shuttles have nothing to do with Disney.

I’m staying at the Drury in October. Very much looking forward to it, albeit that I’m a little worried about the transportation options.
