Lake Buena Vista is home to the largest recreational resort in the world. It’s home to the Walt Disney World® Resort, which hosts four theme parks, two water parks, PGA-tour-calibre golf courses and Downtown Disney® Area.

The Downtown Disney® Area offers three lively waterfront districts that offer something for all the family, from shopping to dining to kid’s entertainment. The area is divided into Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island, Downtown Disney® West Side and Downtown Disney® Marketplace.

Step inside DisneyQuest® Indoor Interactive Theme Park at Downtown Disney® West Side for five-stories packed with virtual reality gaming, 3-D and motion simulator rides. Prepare to be amazed by the show La Nouba™ by Cirque du Soleil®.

Throughout Downtown Disney® Area you’ll find a range of dining options. These include T-REX, a dinosaur-themed eatery, Splitsville Luxury Lanes, a 50,000-square-foot bowling and dining complex, House of Blues Music Hall and Wolfgang Puck’s Grand Café.

If you have shopping on the mind, make your way down to Downtown Disney® for its designer shops, themed boutiques and the World of Disney® store. With approximately 51,000 square feet (4,700 square metres) of space, this is the largest Disney shop in the world.

It’s not just the theme parks that bring the crowds the golfing is a big draw for Lake Buena Vista too. There are a number of golf courses to choose from the most highly rated of these being Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course, which has hosted major national and international competitions.

You’ll find Lake Buena Vista in the exclusive Orange County, Florida. There are a few public transport options within the city, but many of the hotels provide free bus services to and from Downtown Disney® Area. If you plan on driving to Downtown Disney® Area, you’ll be happy to know that the parking is free.

"Everything at BV overlook was awesome. WiFi was kind of spotty tho. Which if you’re going there to get away from technology is probably a great thing. However, if you’re there traveling due to work and need strong and reliable Wi-Fi access, it might be a consideration. Otherwise, A+!"
