Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista

Tucked in Lake Buena Vista just a few kilometres from Disney Springs, the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Lake Buena Vista is built for families spending a week in the theme parks: a heated outdoor pool and whirlpool anchor the property, with a poolside Tiki Bar for parents keeping an eye on the kids. Its Play USA program lets children eat free at participating meals and adds perks like pre-boarding, while free daily scheduled shuttles run out to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and the Vineland outlets, so guests can skip the rental car. On-site distractions for down days include an arcade, giant chess and checkers, table tennis, billiards and a children's movie theatre, plus a fitness centre for the adults. It's a straightforward, value-driven base rather than a five-star resort, best suited to families and groups who want to be close to the parks without paying resort-district prices.
