I stayed here when I was a little girl & still remember it. To me it was a very fancy hotel & since I was like 4 or 5 it must have been soo nice for me to remember it being that I am now almost 29. I was looking between Sheraton Safari & RPlaza for 2 nights as well. I didn't know SS was closing.

Per Mary at Mousesavers, all the rooms have either a king or 2 doubles, plus a loveseat that folds out into a bed.

Please note that Royal Plaza has an $8.00 per night resort fee. Did SS charge a resort fee??? If not, is Virgin picking that up, or do you have to pay it?

i agree on the area is perfect! But I'm torn, now between a Disney value property & the RP b/c disney gives u free airport trans. What to do.

We stayed there in 2007 while they were renovating...it was after a long hiatus from WDW. We brought our dd just 5months old for a much needed LONG weekend. WE were VERY happy with the property. clean , neat,good location.

Well, RP is a lot nicer than any of the on-site value hotels. If you can get a good room rate, then you can put the saved money towards either a shuttle, town car or a car rental. I believe RP has a car rental desk there. You could do tow one way rentals (airport to RP and then RP back to airport).

Travelzoo.com has a link to a special for RP - $69 per night plus waiving the resort fee. Look in the Hotels - Orlando section.
