The Adventure Hotel by the Parks
Smoke-free hotel with a hot breakfast and free shuttle
About this hotel
The Adventure Hotel by the Parks covers the essentials well rather than chasing a single standout feature: it sits about 1.6 kilometres from the Disney theme parks, close enough that the free scheduled shuttle to area theme parks and the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Mall is a short, genuinely useful ride. The whole property is smoke-free, and the outdoor pool has a separate children's area, worth knowing for families with younger kids who want them swimming somewhere shallower and calmer than the main pool. Every room carries a microwave, mini-refrigerator and coffee maker, and a free hot breakfast buffet runs daily with scrambled eggs, sausages and freshly made waffles rather than a bare continental spread. Musashi Sushi Lounge Restaurant sits on site serving sushi and other seafood, and hotel guests get ten percent off dining there just by showing their room keycard, a small but genuinely useful perk on a longer stay. Couples visiting have rated the location highly, and it works as a straightforward, no-frills base for a Disney's Blizzard Beach trip without the resort-level pricing of some hotels on this list.

Our take
This hotel suits travellers who want a smoke-free property with a genuinely hot breakfast buffet, a free shuttle and a nearby sushi restaurant with a guest discount, worth booking for the combination of practical extras at a moderate price. It is not the pick for guests wanting an elaborate pool or resort-style grounds, since the amenities here stay focused and functional rather than showy, and anyone wanting more spectacle on site should look toward the four- and five-star options elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Use the separate children's pool area rather than the main pool if you are travelling with younger kids, since it gives them shallower, calmer water to splash around in.
- ✓Show your room keycard at Musashi Sushi Lounge Restaurant for ten percent off dinner, since it is an easy discount that is simple to forget about after a long park day.
- ✓Get to the hot breakfast buffet earlier rather than later, since freshly made waffles and a full spread tend to draw a crowd during peak checkout hours.
Why we love it
