Where should you stay when you visit Disney World?


Holiday Inn Orlando in Disney Springs


Well, there are often two very different opinions, depending on who you ask. Many will tell you that you should stay at a Disney World hotel on-property so you can stay within the Disney bubble. However, some Disney World visitors prefer staying off-site to save money. Well, if you’re considering a stay at an off-site hotel, you might want to consider the Disney Springs area hotels, which have a lot of the same conveniences as a Disney-owned hotel. We’re going to give you a tour of one of those hotels right now, Holiday Inn Orlando.



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Holiday Inn Orlando in Disney Springs is within walking distance of Disney Springs and comes with many of the same benefits you can get if staying at a Disney-owned hotel, including Early Theme Park Entry and shuttles every hour to all four of Disney World’s theme parks. In fact, the hotel is proud of the fact that it is one of the top 25 Holiday Inns in the U.S. and ranks in the top 3% of hotels in Orlando on TripAdvisor. So let’s go inside.

As far as dining goes, if you don’t feel like walking to Disney Springs, you can enjoy coffee in the lobby from 6 AM to 11:30 AM, as well as afternoon cookies and lemonade from 4 PM to 6 PM. You can also dine at the Palm Breezes Restaurant and Lounge for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Did we mention that kids can eat free? Kids 11 and under can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the restaurant for FREE as long as they’re ordering from the kids’ menu and are accompanied by at least one adult who is also dining in the restaurant. Oh, and YES, there are Mickey waffles for breakfast.

Just need a quick snack? There’s a little area in the hotel where you can quickly grab some snacks and drinks to go.
