On‑Site Laundry: Your Base for a Fresh, Longer Visit

Do we have laundry facilities?

Yes—self-service laundry facilities are available on site. For extended stays, that means packing less, washing on your schedule, and keeping everyone’s wardrobe rotation simple.

How to make the most of hotel laundry on a long stay

• Pack lighter, rotate smarter. Bring quick-dry basics and plan a midweek wash to reduce luggage and keep outfits fresh.
• Bundle by person. Use small laundry bags to separate family members’ clothing; it saves time on folding and repacking.
• Pre-treat on the go. A small stain-remover pen helps extend wear between washes—especially handy after theme-park snacks.
• Schedule around your day. Start a load before breakfast or a dip in the pool; switch loads when you return.
• Use the in-room iron. Ironing amenities help you keep park outfits crisp and event attire photo-ready.

In‑Room Essentials That Simplify Daily Life

Your room is your hub during an extended stay in Orlando. Each non-smoking guest room includes thoughtful touches that support everyday routines:

Mini‑refrigerator

• Store snacks, beverages, and leftovers to manage costs and late-night cravings.
• Keep kids’ drinks and fruit cold for quick park mornings.

Coffee maker

• Brew before you go. Start your day with fresh coffee in-room, then grab a specialty drink from Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts on property.

Desk + complimentary Wi‑Fi

• Create a reliable work setup for remote days. Pair the desk with hotel-wide complimentary Wi‑Fi and tap the business center when you need extra workspace or to print.

Ironing amenities + hair dryer + safe

• Keep business attire sharp with ironing amenities.
• Speed up getting-ready with the hair dryer.
• Store passports, laptops, and devices in the in-room safe while you’re out.

Flat‑screen HDTV with cable

• Unwind at night or schedule a quiet hour for kids between park sessions.

Eat, Sip, and Stay Energized On Property

Longer stays are easier when food and drinks are always nearby:

• Restaurant & Bar (with a Kids’ Menu): Family-friendly meals and easy dinners without leaving the property.
• Gulpin’ Gator Poolside Bar: Snacks and sips between swims.
• In-house Dunkin’ Donuts: Quick breakfast runs, donuts, and coffee on your timeline.
• Starbucks located on property: Specialty beverages for early park mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups.

Pro move for extended stays: Build a morning rhythm—in-room coffee first, then a grab-and-go bite from Dunkin’ or Starbucks as you head to the shuttle.

Getting Around Effortlessly for Weeks

Free scheduled shuttle to the parks

The resort’s free scheduled shuttle reaches nearby theme parks in roughly five minutes, serving Walt Disney World® Resort parks—Animal Kingdom®, Epcot®, and Magic Kingdom®—along with Universal Studios Florida™ and SeaWorld® Orlando. Relying on the shuttle simplifies transportation and parking during longer visits.

Car rental, parking, and EV support

• Onsite Avis and Budget rental car services make it simple to rent by the day or week.
• Free parking removes daily cost anxiety.
• An on-site electric vehicle charging station supports road trippers and EV drivers staying longer.

Workouts, Breaks, and Family Time

Extended stays work best with balance. Between outings, enjoy:

• Gym sessions to stay on track
• A heated outdoor pool and hot tub for relaxation
• Game room and on‑site arcade for kid-approved downtime
• The Chuck E Cheese Fun Zone for extra family entertainment

You’re also minutes from Orlando attractions and can often see evening fireworks from the hotel—an easy way to end the day without another outing.
