Wyndham Palace... why I don't like it..

[Javier&Christie]

The Wyndham.. welp, we usually stay at the All Star, but it was fully booked for New Years.. the Wyndham is usually $200 per night, but we booked for $119 through the Disney Club line...

GREAT we thought.. luxurious and whatnot... ummm, maybe on the outside... the lobby is nice, but unless your planning on spending some bux on the restaurant & fancy bars, save your pennies.

The rooms are no biggie.. sub-par to the All Star, maybe not in size, but general cleanliness. Hell, they even skipped one night of room service, even w/ the "Housekeeping Please" sign on the door. Sure it's nice and pretty to have "internet service (10.99 for 24 hours)", "playstation ONE (6.99 for one hour of play)" and 11.99 pay per view movies... (uhhh) but who really cares? And the 3.50 bottles of water in the room are funny...

The worst part was the transportation, granted, we knew it wasn't gonna be great going in, but it sucks to not be on Disney property running w/ Disney Transport. We usually jumped to the Marketplace and double bus'd to where we needed to go. The Downtown Disney resort buses take forever to arrive at the parks to pick you up.. all in all made it a hassle to get to a park..

My final thoughts? Stay at a Disney resort if you're gonna pay more than $100 to stay at a hotel near Disney.. there's enough deals out there to make it worthwhile

I stayed there a few years back and thought it was great. It had a nice pool and you could walk right to Downtown Disney. Now we had a car for that vacation so we did not have to rely on Disney transportation. I have stayed on property several times and at different resorts and I thought the Wyndham rank right up there with the Disney resorts.......and it was much better then the Coronado Springs!!!!!!!!

yah we have a car for every vacation as well since we drive up, but we really do enjoy relying on disney transportation much more than driving to the parks.. gives much more of a "disney feeling" i guess.. it's all good though, different strokes for different folks

I've stayed at the Wyndham before and actually enjoyed it. Rooms are about the same size as some of the Disney Deluxe Resorts. Offering 2 queen beds. There is no paticular theme to the resort but again your not staying with Disney. I didn't use the transporation because we always drive, but the resort as a whole was pretty nice. Its the place we pick when Disney is sold out.

We stayed there for $69 a night on a Hotwire special. It wasn't like staying at a Disney hotel but I liked being across the street from Downtown Disney and we loved the pools.

The pools were on an island so they were open 24 hour a day. This way no guests were disturbed. The parking is a pain if you don't pay for valet but the room we had was really pretty.


I might have felt different if it wasn't $69 a night though. We even had a balcony looking out over the pool.
