Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista

Less than five minutes from Disney Springs, this family-geared Holiday Inn Resort wraps tropical, yellow-stucco buildings around a large pool with a splash park, swim-up bar, and whirlpools, plus a poolside Tiki Bar open until 11 PM. Kids have their own arcade and movie theatre, and the resort's Play USA program includes free dining for younger children at participating times. Complimentary scheduled shuttle service to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld parks rounds out why this hotel has become a go-to for theme-park-bound families on a budget. Note that the property's on-site Applebee's has ceased operations, so lunch and dinner currently need to be sourced off-property while the hotel offers a temporary buffet breakfast in its place.
