Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa

Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa offers impeccable service and surroundings on 27 acres in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, just 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport. For more than two decades, the 1,014-room property has turned out expertly run meetings infused with all the creativity, service, and state-of-the-art technology one would expect from an official hotel of the Walt Disney World Resort.

Buena Vista Palace easily accommodates everything from industry-wide conventions to intimate retreats, thanks to the more than 90,000 square feet of flexible event space and staff of attentive planning professionals. With 44 meeting rooms to choose from, larger groups gravitate toward the 23,000-square-foot Events Center and Exhibit Hall, 18,000-square-foot Empire Ballroom, and 16,500-square-foot Great Hall. Small gatherings, on the other hand, get down to business in the Islander, Coventry, and Knights Hall function rooms.

For that extra Disney advantage, planners select from a host of special options, ranging from behind-the-scenes tours to personal enrichment programs. They may invite Disney characters to group events or request exclusive midday and multi-day tickets with special pricing and Park Hopper add-ons. Or, for high-level types, the Disney Institute’s widely respected executive training uses creativity to produce solid business returns.
