Free breakfast vs. staying at a Disney hotel
Disney Resort hotel rooms do not come with breakfast, and Disney’s dining plans are paid extras, so a hotel with free breakfast covers a meal that Disney hotel guests pay for.
The trade-off is park perks. Early Theme Park Entry extends to Drury Plaza and the Holiday Inn, and Disney says it continues through 2027. The other hotels here do not. Drivers also pay Disney park parking ($35 a day standard at the time of writing), which a hotel shuttle avoids. Compare the best hotels near Disney World.
How to choose an Orlando hotel with free breakfast
- Check the rate, not just the hotel. Package and promotional rates can differ, and the Holiday Inn includes breakfast only with some rates.
- Match breakfast hours to park opening. Drury Plaza starts at 6:00 am daily, but several hotels here start at 7:00 am on weekends. On Early Entry days, ask about grab-and-go options.
- Add every fee to the room rate. Count the nightly hotel or resort fee (Buena Vista Suites and the Holiday Inn), parking ($10 to $28 a day at most hotels here) and the 12.5% Orange County hotel tax, all at the time of writing. Our guide to cheap hotels in Orlando has more ways to save.
- Pick a kitchen suite to cover dinner too. The Residence Inn, Homewood and Home2 suites have kitchens. See also affordable family suites near Disney World.
- Reserve shuttle seats early. Flamingo Crossings shuttles have limited seats and hotel-specific booking windows. Buena Vista Suites needs registration at least 24 hours ahead, and the Holiday Inn shuttle also needs a reservation. Drury Plaza’s does not.

Frequently asked questions
Which hotels in Orlando have free breakfast near Disney World?
Near Disney, Drury Plaza, Buena Vista Suites and the four Flamingo Crossings hotels here (SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn, Home2 Suites and Homewood Suites) list a free hot breakfast with standard rates. Drury Plaza is the closest to the parks and also gets Early Theme Park Entry.
Do Disney World resort hotels include breakfast?
No. A standard room at a Disney-owned resort does not include breakfast. Dining plans cost extra and are sold only with Walt Disney Travel Company packages that include a Disney Resort hotel. In 2026 Disney is also offering a free dining plan for kids ages 3 to 9 with eligible packages, so check current offers and dates.
Which Orlando hotels have free breakfast and a free shuttle to Disney or Universal?
For Disney, Drury Plaza runs a free hourly shuttle, and SpringHill Suites and Residence Inn at Flamingo Crossings list free shuttles you reserve ahead. Home2 and Homewood share a scheduled Florida Bus Service shuttle (confirm any cost), and Buena Vista Suites covers its shuttle with a nightly hotel fee. For Universal, Drury Inn & Suites runs a free shuttle to all Universal parks, Epic Universe included.
Do Orlando hotels with free breakfast charge resort fees?
Some do. Drury Plaza says it charges no resort fee, and none is listed at Drury Inn near Universal, SpringHill Suites Flamingo Crossings or Residence Inn at SeaWorld. Buena Vista Suites charges a $23 hotel fee and the Holiday Inn a $39 resort fee, both plus tax a night at the time of writing. Parking is extra at most hotels here, so compare full booking totals.
Are the Flamingo Crossings hotels close to the Disney parks?
Yes, though they sit on the western edge of Walt Disney World, so every park day starts with a drive or shuttle ride. All four have a Disney shuttle option, but seats are limited and times are fixed, so a car gives you more flexibility. None of them gets Early Theme Park Entry.
