Buena Vista Palace in Downtown Disney

[Lewisc]

It is still owned by Wyndham, but they upgraded it to their luxury property category and discontinued the The Wyndham by request program. All Wyndham luxury properties are discontinued by the program.

Not to nitpick but the Wyndham chain was sold. The new company kept the luxury properties and sold the remaining properties and the Wyndham name to Cendant. Cendant was looking for a higher end brand. Their other properties are lower end; Knights Inn, TraveLodge, Wingate, Super 8 and Days Inn.

The former Wyndham luxury properties have nothing to do with the remaining Wyndham properties.

The Palace was not being run by Wyndam at this time. It seemed very confusing. They must be in a transitional stage. everything was logo free. Even the employees weren't too sure.
I talked to a girl that worked in the lounge for 22 years and wasn't sure what was to come. They have the potentional to be one of the best properties around, that is for sure. Stunning views, proximety, beautiful property & plenty of rooms.

Oh & I couldn't believe how much convention space they have!! Lots of break out rooms and at two larger ball room spaces that were at least 20,000 SF each.
We are in that business, so we look at that.

I just got back from staying there. Don't get the dungeon statement either .

Our room was bright, renovated and had a great view of all of WDW!!
I do have a few pictures if you're interested I can email them to you.

There are three parts. The island, which is closer to the pool and self parking and will not have a view of WDW. And two towers, one goes up 27 floors with Author's 27 lounge on top that has incredible views! You can see Epcot, MGM & MK fireworks from there. The restaurant up there is closed for renovations but the lounge is open.

The other tower goes up 12 florrs, we were on 10 and had spectacular views.
They have a wonderful restaurant called the Outback (not the chain), it's very good but expensive.
The location was wonderful!!

I would love it if you would be able to email pictures to me. This past April we stayed at the Celebrity Resort off of 192. We figured this way it was about as close as we could get to Disney without actually staying at one of their resorts. I am getting worried when I read some peoples statements about the hotel. Thanks in advance for the pictures.
