The hotel

Part pit-stop for theme parkers coming to the Sunshine State to experience the theme park thrills and spills; part luxury hideaway with chic swimming pools, indulgent spa treatments, and leisurely golf; and part family resort promising seasonal fun in its children’s club: Waldorf Astoria is anything you want it to be. Of course there are some things every traveller demands, so this multi-faceted hotel delivers complimentary parking, WiFi, a free shuttle to the Disney parks that sit just a short drive away, and a fusion of fabulous dining options. You’ll find everything from a trendy 24-hour coffee house, to steakhouse, Italian, and classic American menus – in fact, there are a dozen bars and restaurants to keep you going on those days you fancy a break from the nearby theme parks.

The lobby and pool area were grand but OMG the rooms. Please, renovate your rooms. Do you like old yellow sofas, yellow carpet, gold drapes? Old and nasty. It was the same furniture from when the property opened 7 years ago minus phones in the bathrooms. Down blankets had stains. Not a luxury hotel.

Outstanding service and food. Great pool and golf course. Parking was concerning as you can only valet or park in the garage for 28.00 per day with no in and out and you have to walk a good ways from the garage to the Waldorf.

We have visited many times. But this hotel now charges a $45/day resort fee and $27/day self parking fee, which is making Disney properties look really good. On current stay, came back at 8pm and room was not cleaned. Was told we had left “do not disturb” sign and they could not enter room. We had deliberately removed the sign when we left at 12:30 and there was no sign on the door when we returned at 8 pm. Housekeeping just blatantly lied. They sent someone up to do a quick clean but we have been very disappointed during this stay. We also received a phone call about a week before our stay warning us we probably wouldn’t get our standby upgrade. They tried to upsell us an upgrade to ensure our upgrade that was more expensive than the regular booking!! Something seemed quite sleazy. Read less

If you are looking for an upscale hotel, with the convenience and benefits of Disney World, this is it. You get the benefit of extra magic hours and are convniently located to all Disney attractions. The room was very comfortable with nice amenities. Overall, the resort was quiet which is a very nice break from the hustle and bustle of the parks. The breakfast buffet at Oscar's was excellent as was our server. Lizzy went above and beyond to make us feel like welcomed and valued guests. Thank you! Read less
