Best Disney Springs Pool Resort

[wendlle]

Looking to save a bit of money I've decided to cut short my DVC rental to 7 nights instead of 9 nights and spend the last 2 nights at a Disney Springs hotel, we like to spend a day or two at Disney Springs so figure we will do this at the end of our trip. This also means we will want to chill at the pool with the kids (6 and 9 when we go in May 2025)

What Disney Springs hotel do you recommend?
These are the features I'm looking for:

Ideally a separate bedroom for us parents
Walkable to Disney Springs
Great Pool area for the kids
Free Breakfast would be a bonus

Gives you the pool and location. Doubletree gives you the seperate bedroom.

Drury gives you free breakfast.

Some of the hotels offer a rate which includes breakfast.

Ooops I only read the title ~ best pool! and wrongly assumed an adult trip.

But you are right when you factor in the body of the post there are more options.

Doubletree does have the bedroom and it is newly renovated. I've stayed many times and considering it for an upcoming due to the renovation. The free breakfast there (at least in past) was tied to Honors or Special Promotions. Problem for us is it was always the continental and if you wanted hot you paid more. And the dining room is tiny and they sat us. Waits were terrible. Not sure if that has changed. We opted to eat in room. The pool is fine for cooling off, not too big but fine. Does have a splashpad area for kids.

Buena Vista Palace has a great pool area, more resort style, lazy river. Dining/Bar at the pool. And it is right at Disney Springs. They do offer one bedroom suites but that comes at a price. Dining options but nothing is included. It is a big hotel and depending on your room you could have a long walk to different parts of hotel.

Drury is half a brand new tower and the rest of the resort was renovated. Drury offers breakfast (Mickey Waffles) and the evening reception that has food and drink. All included. And no resort fee. Drury also has one bedroom suites available. They have a new saltwater pool and big splash pad area.

At this point right now I personally would not be booking any of the other hotels (I have stayed at Hilton, Wyndham and B Resort). And based on what OP has as parameters I would be looking at Drury.

I've read Hilton guests get access to the Hilton Buena Vista Palace pool complex.

I agree with Hopper Fan, Drury will probably give the best bang for the buck.
