Lake Buena Vista Resort and Spa

OK, I have searched and searched for any mention of this hotel on the boards, with no luck. Anyone stayed there recently? This is the hotel right next to the Premium Outlet Mall (I think that's what the mall is called, it's the one with the Disney outlet store). We have a 3 BR/2Ba booked for me, DH, DS15, DS13, DS2, DBIL & DSIL.

How far is the resort from the parks?
Is it clean?
Do they tack on resort fees or parking fees? (I booked on hotels.com & couldn't find any mention of it there)
How bad is their shuttle service?
What's the best grocery store nearby?

Thanks for any help you may be able to give us!

Sorry, I haven't stayed there, and really didn't notice it when I go to the Outlets, but the Premium Outlets is I'd say a 15 min car ride away from the DTD area.
Across the street from the Mall is a Publix, drug store, there may be other stuff, but I've only gone to Publix. Love the Premium Outlets! I usually make a visit there on the way to WDW, and stop at the Publix to stock up on room supplies!

We stayed there in Feb. 08. We had a very nice stay. They are still fairly new so everything was still very clean.

It was about a 10 min. drive to the parks.
The rooms were clean and very spacious. It was extra money though to have daily maid service.
We had our own van so we didn't use the shuttle.
There was a Wal Mart right down the street.

The pirate pool they have was still being constructed while we were there but it looks really cool. If I remember correctly the master bedroom had a king size bed, second bedroom a queen and the third bedroom has 2 twins? The couch was a pullout. Let me know if you have any other questions, I will be happy to answer

We watched them build it. It's been pretty busy since it opened.
The new pirate pool looks with shooting water cannons and all!


Enjoy your stay!
