We stayed there spring break and loved it! Didn’t have to pay for breakfast or dinner the whole week. Got 3 complimentary alcoholic drinks per night per adult. Buses to parks was no problem. We have always stayed in a Disney hotel so I was skeptical but boy was I surprised. We did have a fireworks view. Downtown Disney was beautiful at night. Hands down drury is a game changer for Disney. We will stay there again next trip.

Did the shuttles get you there in plenty of time for rope drop? We usually stay at Disney hotels but thought we’d give this a try since Disney hotel prices have gotten crazy imo, but I’m worried about the shuttles getting us to the park early enough for rope drop, especially at MK.

My very first trip ever was to Disney world in 1976 when there was only the Magic Kingdom. I stayed where the Drury Hotel is now and I believe it was called the Royal Plaza. It was an 8 day package...it included round trip airfare on Eastern Airlines, the hotel, a meal package, 3 days admission to the Magic Kingdom, and also Cypress Gardens and the Space Center. Total cost of the package $333. Which seemed like a fortune when you are 19 and just started working.

Stayed in this hotel as a child around 1980. Years later, I could remember it being a Travelodge, and my mom always insisted it was an official Disney hotel. Took me years to figure out where and what it was. I happened to stumble across a brochure on eBay and worked it out from there. I was pretty young, so I have very little memory of the place as it was then, and it’s probably the one place my parents didn’t take any photos of on that trip.

I stayed here in February and had a really good experience. The rooms are really nice, and they have complimentary things throughout the day, like a few hours of free food (like nachos, meatballs, hot dogs, etc.) and popcorn, sodas, and alcoholic drinks in the evening. The only thing I struggled with was the transportation to the parks because the times were not great, and the drivers did some… wild driving. The reservation system for the bus was also pointless because it would never email you your reservation, and you had to do it at least 2 hours in advance. The busses also varied from being a Drury bus, to random buses with Drury on a piece of paper, to completely unmarked vans. But if you have a car, it’s a great option! I also had to reserve my transportation via mears at the hotel across the street because it wasn’t an option for the shuttle yet, but I’m sure that will change if it hasn’t already.
