Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando – near Disney Springs

Officially recognized as a Walt Disney World hotel, Drury Plaza offers its guests early admission to all four of Disney’s world-class theme parks as well as complimentary shuttle transportation. And all with no resort fee!

But What Makes Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando So Extraordinary?

While literally every part of this resort, from the lobby to the meeting spaces, is absolutely beautiful, there are a few features and amenities that really make the Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando stand out from its competitors. Before exploring the guest rooms and some of its more standard amenities, I want to specifically discuss these unique offerings:

Complimentary 5:30pm Kickback

While you may have heard of a complimentary breakfast, what about an afternoon kickback? Every single day from 5:30 – 7pm, Drury guests can relax and recharge with a freshly made and filling snack. The Kickback menu includes options like salad, soup, nachos, baked potatoes, hot dogs, and a rotating entree such as BBQ sliders or Alfredo penne pasta. Plus, drinking age guests can enjoy up to THREE FREE cocktails!

Complimentary Breakfast Buffet

From 6-10am, Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando offers its guests a full breakfast buffet! Complete with freshly made pancakes, scrambled eggs, Tennessee sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, fruits and even a make-your-own Mickey waffle station, each guest can eat their fill before heading out for an exciting day at the theme parks.

Market Place

Among Drury Plaza Hotel’s onsite dining options is the lobby Market Place. Filled with Disney souvenirs and customary sundries, the Market Place may seem like a traditional hotel store. HOWEVER, there are two distinct features that really make it stand out as a great resource for guests on the go!

Starbucks Machine

First, the Market Place features a self-operated Starbucks machine serving crafted coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.

Pizza Hut Express

Secondly, check out Drury’s official Pizza Hut Express. Offering the ability to order directly from the Pizza Hut mobile app, guests can actually plan and order their dinner before they even leave the theme parks!

Other Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Amenities

While the above mentioned features were some of the “unexpected surprises” of my tour, Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando is FULL of amazing amenities, beautiful spaces, and even locally-inspired decor (including some pieces created by Orlando artists).

Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando’s Saltwater Pool

Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando boasts a fabulous saltwater pool! Surrounded by plenty of soft seating and chaise lounges, this area also includes a kids’ splash pad and whirlpool.

Onsite Dining Options

In addition to the Market Place, the Drury Plaza Hotel offers a variety of onsite dining including the pool-adjacent Lakeside Bar and Grill (with available mobile ordering directly from your pool chair) and casual dining restaurant The Kitchen + Bar.

Fitness Center

Located on the amenities floor, the 24-hour fitness center includes plenty of cardio and strength training equipment.

With a total of 602 guest rooms, Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando offers a variety of choices including King rooms, Double Queen rooms, or Two-Room Suites. All accommodations include a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, Wi-Fi TV, and upscale furnishings. Check out our reel below for a video overview of a standard Drury room.
