Wyndham Disney Springs- too good to be true?
Need a couple of nights in a "Disney" hotel for magicbands , emh etc...
The Disney partner hotels offer everything a Disney hotel does except DME (Which we don't need as have a car)... It's only $75 a night plus tax ... even with their resort fee, it seems like a fantastic deal compared to even the All Stars which are $131 per night for our dates. We can walk to DS, we're close to LBV for cheaper food, we get all the perks of Disney at a cheap price at what looks to be a nice enough hotel... they even do a character meal which is never on DFB or any of those character meal lists... What am I missing?! Is there a downside I'm not seeing?

Dont think you get magic bands in just partner resorts?
Just had a look and its not got magic bands and you have to 25$ per day per room resort fee not very attractive tbh Edited at 05:46 PM. |

We stayed there for a few nights after a cruise.
The location is superb. They do have transport but it’s not quite as frequent as Disney hotel transportation. The room is like a standard offsite hotel room and you won’t get Disney dining plan. But for the price. It’s certainly not a bad option at all. I’d prefer to be in a Disney hotel. But I’d pick the Wyndham over a hotel properly offsite. |

Oh sorry yes you're right. No magic bands.
We have some here though. Pluses for me are 1. Disney Springs proximity 2. Closer to MK ( only park we're doing while staying there) 3. Includes EMH. 4. Cheap character meal for a bit of fun and Mickey waffles. 5. Cheaper than the Value resorts esp when location is taken into account. Or would you still go to a Value resort quicker?

I personally would go to all stars but tgats my opinion as id rather have better transport and i like using magic bands for everything on site after everyone has different opinions. For me its
1) take the 75 +tax per night and add 25+tax thats nit alot différence in price. 2) We like our MB for everything 3)transport is better 4)theming we like the theming Like i said all personal and really depends on your family |

True true... I really wanted to stay in POR so kids could pop to DS (but it's out of budget hence booking Pop or All Star) ... I think that's why it looked attractive to me... and was wondering was I being blindsided by that.
I'm just thinking and Bevs post reminds me that it wouldn't exempt me from parking at the park either... |

No. You have to pay for parking. Which really annoyed me as I’m not used to it.
It’s not particularly close to MK either ... |

Location wise for Disney Springs, it's fab! Simply walk across the bridge and you're there. Haven't ever stayed at this particular hotel (in all honesty - the reason being that I've seen some pretty bad reviews about it's cleanliness), however we have stayed at the Hilton and the B Resort and can definitely recommend it for location. It isn't particularly close to MK however, but certainly not far either

Interesting though...for MK, you can walk to DS, get a bus to a resort...I would prob chose GF or Poly and have look round and jump on mono rail. Prob ok if not doing parks that much...
