Our Detailed Tour Of Drury Plaza Hotel Disney Partner Resort! | Room Tour, Amenities & More!

[@chrystalrochester2607]

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.

[@MichaelMyers-pj2uk]

It’s An amazing hotel ! I stayed there about 2 weeks ago and easily one of the best hotels I have stayed at maybe even the best.

[@karengeorge9039]

Can anyone tell me how easy and far it is to walk to disney springs

[@chrystalrochester2607]

@@karengeorge9039 we took the hotel shuttle and drove one day. It is prob a good 15-20 minute walk

[@MichaelMyers-pj2uk]

@@karengeorge9039 like 10 minutes max

[@saibot0001]

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. Thanks for any help!

[@positivelypietz]

We stayed there in March and had the best experience!! I would 100% stay there again. The money saved there allowed us to play more on our trip!

[@TheParkLarkPrivate]

Wow!!! The value of a stay there is phenomenal!!! Indeed tourists should give The Drury a serious consideration. Thanks Tim for the fabulous tip and thanks to the Drury for hosting the tour.

[@OwlishFun]

I've said it once but I'll keep saying it, I'm so excited about the new hotel/resort tours. They really helped me in my planning in the past

[@KerbyDaFrog]

I remodel the Drury hotels. Family owned. We were remodeling the Orlando Universal location while they were remodeling the Disney one. Those amenities are standard across all the hotels. The wifi is always fast as well. We are currently remodeling another Denver location. Enjoy your videos.

[@galeinstlou6306]

It's based in St. Louis so I love to support them when I can. They truly are great hotels!

[@landlockedadventures8709]

I stayed at the one in Albuquerque and it was amazing! Easily my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

I LOVE staying at Drury Inns because the beds have always been comfy, the rooms comfortably spacious, and the breakfasts and Evening Kickbacks (snacks that can technically be qualified as a meal) really help make the cost of the stay regardless of which Drury Inn you stay at worth it by saving you the cost of at least one meal per day per your stay.💙

[@sentari2287]

Tim, please do a disney spring's resorts tour playlist, and review all of the Springs area resorts! That would be a great series! You're amazing!!

[@HoneymoonAlways]

I went to a Drury Inn once and loved it! If I ever go to WDW again I'll stay here. As you noted the price difference between rooms isn't a big as with other hotels. I think it was an extra $5 a night for us to have a huge upgraded room.

[@kimmi0428]

We stayed for a few nights in the beginning of March. Employees were fantastic, rooms were beautiful, pool was great! There are so many perks! Ive stayed with Drury before so I knew they are quality hotels! Food and drinks, everything you could want AND Disney park transportation! Just fantastic!

[@ellencain6114]

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.

[@504RoadTrips]

The Drury was a Travelodge. The Royal Plaza was across the street, presumably where the Doubletree is now.

[@RyanSandberg]

This is awesome to know about! I'm planning a Disney trip right now and wasn't sure where I wanted to stay. There's a lot of great options, but this seems like an amazing option to stay on a budget and get amazing amenities and also have it be a Disney partner hotel. I'm glad they invited you out to show it off!

[@mmays1133]

I stayed at the Drury Riverwalk in San Antonio a few years ago. It was really worth the money with the meals included. The hotel was clean and everyone was very nice.

[@kierstasnewgroove]

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.

[@MichaelROLeary]

Stayed here a few years ago when it was still Best Western but construction had already started on the new tower. Real excited to give it a try now that the changeover is complete and they have stuff included food in the morning and evening.

[@Staren01]

Yep, I still really appreciate Tim’s wayfinding descriptions. They really help with these tour videos. He’s one of the best at it.

[@allaboardblakestrainsandmore]

Definitely agree!

[@foreverphotos8549]

Thank you for this! You made Disney more “affordable” again ❤❤ I didn’t even know this existed!

[@sheryllong8963]

😊Wow you can't beat the price and the rooms looks cozy which is really nice. Plus the food looks delicious. Kudos on the video Tim.

[@BrewCityGillz]

Nothing better than watching Tim while waiting in line at Magic Kingdom! 🏰💫 Always like Drury Inn in general. Evening Kickback is basically a meal in itself.

[@douglascampbell9809]

I think you should start touring the handicap accessible rooms as well. As someone who uses a wheelchair it would be nice to see the layout of the rooms to see how accommodating the layouts are.

[@TinksiehTink]

I would also be interested. Unfortunately I think Tim doesn't get to pick which rooms are available to tour.

[@douglascampbell9809]

@@TinksiehTink I think if he expressed his audiences interest in them the hotel would be fine with it. He would be as far as I know the only person showcasing these kinds of rooms.

[@amycollins5502]

I am in a wheelchair too and was thinking the same thing.

[@phantomx3.0]

this hotel has a lot of great free perks and for the price it's so worth it!

[@thelongs5698]

Just stayed there for a week. Was a great stay. From the breakfast to KickBack we really enjoyed our stay. Our room prices were far better than what Tim was talking about.

[@musicAL722]

We live in Missouri, the home of Drury. We always stay at a Drury if it's available. They are all reliably good quality and they all meet that certain standard of cleanliness, and all the extras are fantastic. Drury is a gem.

[@belindamisner361]

We just got home a week ago! We stayed at the Drury 10 days and absolutely loved it , great accommodations and the friendly staff. We’ll definitely be returning ❤

[@Ididntwantayoutubehandl]

Did you go to Disney during your stay? I'm a drury member and wondering how it is if you do Disney while staying.

[@belindamisner361]

Yes we went to Epcot and Disney Springs..was great bus service from hotel & very convenient .

[@daveg9268]

Thank you for being the first to do this. We stayed at this hotel when it was Best Western and loved the location. Then, they rebuilt and covid and wondered what it would end up being like. Look forward to your review!

[@emptynestingwiththemouse9725]

Stayed at the Drury in January and loved it so much we have two more trips booked! A great value for being so close to the parks. Mousesavers has a coupon code for 15% off and $15/night parking.

[@rickyspanish3276]

This was the best tour, really enjoyed this tour. Definitely going to book a room as the prices are very reasonable & the amenities are amazing. Thank you Tim, the best video. Hi Jen, Jackson and Oliver ❤

[@taylormatl6683]

Having lived in Missouri for almost a decade. I have stayed in several Drurys and the amenities are so amazing, the rooms are comfortable and it is great to see Disney World getting some of the Midwest hospitality that I love. The whole time I watched the video, I was waiting for the kickback because that is the best part of the hotel. I have definitely used that time as a dinner because you really can fill up.

[@cassandracatriona]

We used to stay here when it was the Best Western - Lake Buena Vista. It was our favourite hotel to stay at when visiting Disney! When we heard that it closed to become another hotel we were iffy but WOW! How impressive! The amenities are definitely a selling point for us! We will for sure visit soon. 😍

[@janetkilianski5765]

this is so awesome I was just looking into this hotel. I’m so glad you’re doing a tour of it. This is gonna be great.!!

[@Jen-gf6dd]

We stayed here at the end of February. Very clean, very nice employees, and wonderful pool area. You really can’t beat the free breakfast and kickback dinner with 3 free adult beverages, soda and popcorn. I wouldn’t say it’s the highest quality of food but if you want a budget friendly hotel, you will be very happy staying here. We walked to Disney Springs. Our total for a 3 night king room was $683.98 and that was with parking and tax.

[@apreamedia]

It was so lovely to meet you in the lobby, I so appreciate how kind you were in real life to take a quick break to say hi! Great review on the Drury! We had an awesome stay. Extremely helpful and friendly staff, great food and drinks, comfortable beds! For an off property stay it’s absolutely going to be our go-to!

[@robinwalton7872]

Do you remember how much it was per night?

[@apreamedia]

@@robinwalton7872 sorry it took me some time to look back and do the math! We booked through Disney with our park tickets and it was $211 a night! They upgraded us to a terrace room on the 15th floor 😍

[@robinwalton7872]

Thanks so much. Looks like a nice hotel.

[@sweetpea8091]

Great tour Tim, that is one beautiful hotel..Drury is amazing for its prices, not to mention the free items, food, drinks, and more.If I were to travel in that area, I would not doubt choose it..

[@lucillegass4715]

This resort is so impressive!! Told my sister in florida, she just booked a room, she loves all the extras!!

[@marjielalonde3875]

Very thorough resort tour as always, Tim. This sounds like excellent value and a good alternative especially now when everything is costing more.

[@bentley1530]

How is this possible? The value for a family is incredible

[@suzannaraymond6005]

Absolutely love the Drury hotel chain! We usually stay with them when we drive from CA to FL with our boys. Some locations are smaller, but reasonable prices, free breakfast and dinner and pet fees are very low compared to Hilton and Marriot. Parking is free at many of their locations. We found that they charge for parking in the bigger cities (e.g. New Orleans, San Antonio). Just wish they had more locations.

[@504RoadTrips]

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.

[@MyTeaux]

We stayed at a Drury in Houston and loved it. Glad to see this is now an option. We’ll definitely be staying here on our next trip.

[@lisabaclet5429]

We have stayed twice and loved it! You can't beat the amenities.

[@Stevejeev2]

I love this Hotel. I have stayed several times, when it was still a Best Western. I loved that you can walk to Disney Springs. You can watch the fireworks from the outdoor stairwell. Its great!

[@ManofMoviesPod]

My mom met you at the cafeteria. She makes the food there that you showed. Thanks for being so kind!

[@lilsisco90]

We’re staying here this June. Will be my husband and daughters first time. I was nervous about staying in a non Disney resort but this video put aside all my fears! Thanks Tim and Jenn!! Appreciate y’all!!

[@robinwalton7872]

How much is it per night?

[@lilsisco90]

We’re paying about 1800 for Saturday to Friday. We’re doing a suite since there will be 5 staying in the room

[@robinwalton7872]

Thank you so much, that's a great price! Have a great time.

[@danielvandersall6756]

No, No, at only 30 seconds in you had me; the magic words "NO RESORT FEE"! Parking fee I expected.

[@SaraStiltner]

Please do more of these off property/disney partner hotels!!

[@jenniferboone9033]

Second that..

[@javamt4]

We tried to stay over spring break but it was booked so we stayed at the Universal one. It was fantastic! The amenities are unbelievable. The rooms were big and clean and nice. That one doesn’t charge for parking. It took about 7 minutes to get to Disney Springs from there. I can’t wait to try the closer one. Staff was so nice! Loved it so much we stayed at another Drury in North Carolina on our way home. Can’t beat the price.

[@jmkewl99]

They are Awesome. We stayed in one in Gainesville FL last year during the bad hurricane that came came thru and it was perfect. We brought our dog, we loved the free breakfast and dinner, free popcorn and cocktails each night. Felt very safe from everything including the Storm. Our dog usually freaks when it thunders or rain can be heard on the roof and he was good and ran around in the big room that we got that could have been for a big family but it was just us 3. It was an awesome price then as well. We will definitely be staying at their hotel again !

[@lifewithellie6005]

I actually am currently staying at the drury and I saw you at breakfast yesterday, I wanted to come say hi but you were over in the social media party and the worker said I couldn’t go in that area😢😢 Still was so cool seeing you!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great tour, Tim!! We stayed at the Drury Plaza Inn in New Orleans and loved it! Blocks away from Bourbon Street and more, and the nightly kick-back was one of our favorite parts of the stay! Highly recommend, Drury!!

[@morgansmith7763]

Came across your old Christmas Eve live video from 5 years ago. You all said you would probably never go on a Disney cruise You all would love to go to aulani but it’s to expensive And someone in the live chat asked you alls favorite disney resort and you said I don’t know we’ve never stayed at any It’s crazy how much has changed in 5 years!! Love you guys!

[@LALyman223]

When crossing the country we always tried to book at Drury hotels. Modern, clean, safe and the evening small bites and drinks, plus breakfast were great extras! Can't wait to stay at this one.

[@MichaelMyers-pj2uk]

Stayed there just shy two weeks ago. Beautiful hotel and I already miss it. Such an amazing hotel for the price. Loved the view

[@claudiaken51]

One of the reason we love drury is it is a great hotel, but free breakfast, snacks and drinks! Can’t beat that!

[@kaspertillae6893]

Looks like a lovely place to stay! Glad you were invited; I’m sure this will halp many people visiting Disney world🧡

[@richardburchett]

I’m taking my 17 & 21 year old daughters. This looks perfect. Looking to get the king with the two room suite to give more space and privacy. I can see us doing the parks during the day and maybe Disney Springs late at night. What a great option

[@estherw5042]

Thanks for the tour. I stayed here on my first single trip with my son the summer of Hurricane Charlie. Many years ago. Really good location if your on your own (or not) short walk to Disney springs this was perfect for my sun and I. The only downside was the pool raccoon who ate anything in his site 😂

[@Muirgheinir]

Thank you for this video. We watched and made the decision to book this hotel for a long weekend the week after Memorial Day. We couldn't get into our regular place but when we saw this video we said we would try it. Thanks for helping us find this place . It was worth the stay.

[@Leslygx3]

I love when he reviews hotels. Please tim do alot more around Orlando and Kissimmee. ❤

[@Sparkingthislife]

I always stay at this hotel chain when I go to NOLA. It's such a great value! They should let you exchange an alcoholic beverage ticket for just a regular soft drink or zero-proof drink. At least that's what the one in NOLA allows. Great hotel tour!

[@thepyromaniac78]

Timmy, you sold me at 00:20 when you said no resort fee.

[@Celtic_pagan0317]

$25 a night parking, so they well make up for it.😂

[@hidingfromsomeone]

Thanks for reviewing some of the lower-cost options for Disney hotels. I love the "on-site" Disney hotels but I can't afford them every trip, so getting an idea of what else is out there is great. This really looks like a good option!

[@kaylanicole5126]

There are cheaper on site options like most of the values. These are just nicer for what you pay then at on site. It’s still more than the value resorts. You can get an all star room in the 100s most times of the year. I even got one for 96 a couple times. I do have a little discount tho for passholder or Florida resident

[@grievousangelic]

I've stayed in a Drury Hotel in Nashville several years ago and my husband and I were very impressed. I'm sure this is a great facility, and I'd definitely stay at a partner hotel if I had any desire to go to Disney. I think the Drury chain is a quality hotel business.

In our house we always call Oatmeal Old People in honour of Jackson.

Thanks for sharing this alternative!! I just looked up a couple quotes and was was really impressed by the prices plus the amenities that come with it.

[@michelleoneal8157]

I discovered Drury a couple of years ago and now have several trips booked staying with them in different cities. Some Drury Hotels only do 2 drinks per night but that's the only change I can find. Staff is always so great and the perks are second to none.

[@AnneRas11]

😁 we love the Drury. They have one by Universal too. We have stayed in this Disney Springs one as well. I have not had a bad experience ever. The food really saves money. We walked easily to Disney Springs.

[@whittaker52]

We’d seen a few reviews of the hotel, but watching your tour just cemented our decision to book here for the last couple of days of our vacation before flying back to the UK. It’s been a great place to stay, very comfortable, very chilled, great location for visiting Disney, and if you get a room on a higher floor, the views are spectacular across Orlando & Disney. The only real negative we’ve found are the food options can feel a little repetitive for kick-back & breakfast and the air conditioning in the rooms seems to allow you to hear into other rooms. I’d definitely recommend staying here, and me & my family will definitely stay here again on future trips.

[@IamSnowbird]

I am staying in a double queen with a living room in July. We are going with my grandson, daughter, son-in-law and my husband. This was a timely tour.

[@amyb9253]

I’m curious to know if those queen beds are actually queens. I know that’s what it says online but in this video they look like doubles. Two pillows take up the entire width of the bed which doesn’t happen in queens.

[@Clare444]

Brilliant tour, loved this! Would love to see the Wyndham too, across from Springs

[@katyj8316]

Value per dollar looks very high! We usually stay at Disney Deluxe Resorts but after all their takeaways recently we'd definitely be open to staying offsite. This looks beautiful. I particularly liked the King 2 bedroom. Just the two of us, but the separate couch area was great. And with the door to next room it would be perfect for when we travel with family. Thant so much for the walk thru.

This hotel is by far the best value, location, etc in Orlando, we stayed at a Drury in Dallas, they are like a stepped up Embassy Suites, loved our stay!!

We've stayed at Drury Plazas in the past, loved the one in New Orleans! It was great with kids to have a suite at a reasonable price and free good breakfast and free nighttime food and drinks!

[@figment1988]

For those wondering, this used to be the Best Western on Hotel Plaza Boulevard. As for the Arcade, I understand why Pac-Man arcade party is there instead of Pixel Bash. The issue is that PMPB features Splatterhouse which is too violent for Disney, despite being pale in comparison to modern games like the recent Mortal Kombat games.

[@jsorr1]

We’ve stayed at several Drury Inns on our travels. Always a good experience and a good value. Glad to see they are at WDW now!
