Waldorf Astoria Orlando recently hosted me on a media stay. They provided accommodations and other amenities during our stay. While the visit was sponsored, thoughts and opinions on my experience shared below are my own.
There's nothing quite like waking up near the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort, and Waldorf Astoria Orlando offers just that. This luxury hotel is tucked away on Disney property and adjacent to its sister property Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, which we visited last year. Guests have access to both hotels and their amenities during their stay.
And, for a limited time, guests can enjoy Extra Magic Hours at the parks through the end of the year along with a 60-day FastPass+ booking window, as the hotel is recognized as an official Walt Disney World Resort hotel through December 2020.
While we didn't utilize the Extra Magic Hours (I am not an early riser, particularly not on vacation...lol), we did enjoy transportation from the parks back to the resort. We visited Hollywood Studios during our stay, and it was just a short bus ride back to the hotel after watching the fireworks.
There are so many things to do on-site, though, we barely left the hotel. We started off the weekend with a round of golf at Waldorf Astoria Golf Club. We played here last visit, and it was just as challenging but so fun!
There are no shortage of dining options at Waldorf Astoria Orlando. We started each morning at Oscar's for breakfast (seriously, their eggs are my favorite!). We also visited La Luce again after dining here last year. I had the pork chop, and it was incredible, but the best part of the meal was definitely the butterscotch pudding for dessert. I'm craving it as I'm typing this right now!
We also spent a day in a poolside cabana, which I highly recommend. It's such a nice, quiet space to relax by the pool, complete with a TV and mini fridge. I didn't want to leave!
My favorite part of the stay was the Royal Tea at Peacock Alley. Offered on Sunday afternoons, this experience offers guests a delightful way to relax in an elegant setting.
Overall, there's no better way to enjoy the magic than at Waldorf Astoria Orlando. From waking up to views of the parks to watching the fireworks at night, you really get the best of the Walt Disney World Resort combined with relaxing, luxurious elements of Waldorf Astoria.
Thanks again to Waldorf Astoria Orlando for hosting us!
