This is good news. I would stay there in a heartbeat.
Are the Drury hotels normally nice? The only one I've stayed in was the one in Columbus, and it was a dive.

Sort of remarkable how much Disney is making these days
My experience with them has been highly variable. I travel a lot. Drury isn't first on my list most times, but they can be all right most of the time.Are the Drury hotels normally nice? The only one I've stayed in was the one in Columbus, and it was a dive.
Drury basically has two brands. The one most people have stayed in is the "Drury Inn and Suites" which is undistinguished, freeway-off-ramp style of lodging. There's one of those on Sand Lake Road. They also have a dozen or so "Drury Plaza" offerings, which are most commonly higher end and set in renovated historic buildings.Are the Drury hotels normally nice?

Drury started a third brand around a decade ago called Peach Tree Inns. I think it presently is only in about four or five states. It is definitely a budget hotel. All the locations are all old Drury Inn & Suites that were considered past their life span for the Drury name.Drury basically has two brands.

The re-do to the Best Western will be a "Drury Plaza." The BW is hardly a historic building--tho it is interesting architecturally--but among the DSRA set I'd expect the re-done version to be higher end than say the Holiday Inn, but perhaps not so nice in terms of amenities as the Plaza or the Hilton or the Wyndham. Key will be what they do with the pool, which at the BW is deeply second rate.

The Inn & Suites locations are definitely not Westin caliber, but they are a step above your typical Holiday Inn or Hampton.
The other award The Lion King is up for is best animation...so much for being a "live-action" film
For the globes yes. I don't believe Disney submitted this as an animated film for the academy.The other award The Lion King is up for is best animation...so much for being a "live-action" film
That does mean 3 films for Disney nominated for best animation
Not sure about that. The BW in DS was the worst hotel I've been in since I stopped working as a carny. The portable crib "mattress" was a pile of folded up sheets on top of what was probably a $20 mattress 20 years ago. Also had to change rooms multiple times.Im sure their is something in their contract with Disney for the land user that will make Drury have to keep a certain standard or risk being kicked out. After all the land is owned by Disney nothing gets built in WDW without Disney having some sort of oversite.
