Totally confused-is Royal Plaza worth $139/nt?

[losthat1]

I am scheduled to meet a friend and spend three nights in the Orlando area. I am not specifically planning to do to Disney...we are making plans after arrival. Now, I have booked a king tower room at HRP. After reading posts I'm not sure that it's worth that much. I do hope to get a room there with a view of the fireworks from WDW. I would like to stay in the LBV area because there are restaurants in DTD and other areas that look appealing. Would I be better off booking BW LBV for half the cost or even consider the Doubletree Club or Hampton Inn? I would like a king room with a balcony if possible....other suggestions. Thanks to all the experts out there!

If you're really not planning on doing anything on property other than dining, I would say that you could probably do a lot better for a lot less. If you want Lake Buena Vista area, and the Best Western has a good rate, I would try that before I'd pay $140 for the Royal Plaza. I wasn't impressed after staying there.

Before this gets moved to another board, the best deals can be had on priceline. Alot DTD hotels come up on the 2-3 star list on PL.

But, do your research at Bidding For Travel.

According to Bidding for travel, Bestwestern DTD has been accepting bids for $41.!

the radisson resort parkway is nice for around $89. not in the downtown disney area but just on the other side of the freeway from disney.
