Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – Disney Springs Area

Why We Like It

The Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – Disney Springs® Area is the newest addition to the Disney Springs hotels on Hotel Plaza Boulevard. The Plaza opened in December 2022 with a brand new tower, and a head-to-toe renovation of the existing tower, creating a 604 room hotel that feels completely new. The hotel has a fresh new lobby, spacious king and double queen guest rooms, and one bedroom suites. This Drury hotel offers the same impressive array of included amenities you’d expect to find at a Drury property, including FREE full hot and cold breakfast and a FREE evening Kickback with hot food, salads and beverages every evening. You will be amazed at the brand new large saltwater pool, kiddie play area and new indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas overlooking a sparkling lake.

This MouseSavers Preferred Hotel is a family-owned Drury Hotel property that offers exceptional value, particularly for the Disney Springs area at Walt Disney World. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the welcoming lobby offers ample comfortable seating and easy access to the front desk. From the lobby, there is easy access to the Kitchen + Bar restaurant where you can grab a casual meal or drinks, the business center, and the hotel’s snack and sundry market. Large glass windows and doors look out to the lovely new pool and patio area, and elevators and stairs just off the lobby lead to the Commons area and rooms. 

The rooms are comfortably furnished with quiet blue, grey and warm wood tones, and are equipped with all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. On the second floor you’ll find the large Commons, where the breakfast buffet and Drury’s FREE evening Kickback are served, along with a well-appointed fitness center. Our positive reader response and excellent relationship with the same hotel management at the Drury Inn & Suites near Universal Orlando Resort tell us that the new Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – Disney Springs Area is a successful and terrific addition to Hotel Plaza Boulevard.  

Opening as an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel, the Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – Disney Springs Area is conveniently located just half a mile from Disney Springs® where you’ll find numerous restaurants, shopping and entertainment for all ages. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks with it’s own buses– no stopping at other hotels! And, as a guest at this Disney Springs area hotel you’ll have access to Walt Disney World’s Early Theme Park Entry program! The Early Theme Park Entry program allows you to enter any of the four main theme parks 30 minutes before official opening. Early Theme Park Entry is available every day. Select attractions, dining and merchandise locations are open in each park during Early Theme Park Entry. 

Unlike most hotels, your room rate at the family friendly Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando includes ZERO resort fees, FREE hot and cold breakfast, FREE evening Kickback (5:30 pm – 7:00 pm) with assorted hot and cold foods, salads and beverages including soft drinks and alcoholic beverages (beer, wine & mixed drinks)*, and FREE Wi-Fi. Rates at this property are moderate, but lower than most of the Hotel Plaza Boulevard hotels when you add in their resort fees. When you add up the convenience and savings of having an easy breakfast before heading out for the day, and getting a nice snack and a drink or two (or even a light dinner) that’s ready for you and your family when you return from the parks — all free, we think you’ll agree that the value is unmatched.
