When you’re deciding where to stay in Disney World, things can feel a little confusing. Sure, you’ve got Disney’s hotels on property, but what about the Good Neighbor Hotels nearby, as well as the few Official Walt Disney World® Hotels you’ll find around the Disney Springs area, like Wyndham Buena Vista?
Free omelettes? Yes, please!
There are lots of options to choose from, and staying at an Official Walt Disney World Hotel that’s not owned by Disney, like Wyndham Buena Vista, has some great perks we feel have to be talked about. In this case, we skipped rope drop to check out the hotel’s breakfast buffet, and yeah, we don’t regret it one bit.
No, you didn’t hear that wrong. When you stay at Wyndham Buena Vista, you’ll get access to a breakfast buffet every morning at Lakeview Restaurant. Breakfast begins at 6:30 AM and goes until 11 AM, which means, if you really want, you can get up wildly early, eat breakfast, and then head to a park to rope drop. Or, you can do what we did, and choose to sleep a bit longer, still get that free breakfast, and then head into the parks a bit after rope drop.
The menu!
The breakfast buffet offerings are a bit limited, but we didn’t mind, because everything we had was delicious. The Mickey waffles are the larger individual waffles and are made upon request, and there’s a full omelet station with many condiments, including spinach, ham, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, and cheese. There was also a large selection of fresh fruit, as well as some hot items like eggs benedict, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. There’s also a wide range of toasts with an industrial toaster that you can toast on demand, and you can request fried eggs and a few other hot items.
Our plate!
We really loved that the Mickey waffles tasted like they were the same batter that they used throughout the resort. They’re light and fluffy, and we almost prefer this larger size to the smaller waffles because you get more of the texture. The Omelets are super fluffy, and all the ingredients were clearly fresh. We also enjoyed how wonderful the staff was, and the restaurant was quiet, allowing for a peaceful morning before the intensity of the rest of the day.
Our Mickey Waffle!
All in all, what a great deal! You’re staying at an Official Disney World hotel at a much lower price point than others, you’ve got a free shuttle to get to Disney, and the breakfast is a fantastic way to fuel up for a busy day without breaking the bank. This is especially helpful if you’ve got a larger group, or a group that has various different palettes and preferences. We loved it, and absolutely plan to return!
