Editor take
Drury Plaza is a Disney-area stay that makes the most sense when practical value and Disney Springs access matter more than resort theming.
The food advantage is external: you are using the location to make Disney Springs and Lake Buena Vista meals easier.
Hotel decision
What to know before booking
Food access plan
Use Disney Springs for the bigger meals, keep Lake Buena Vista as the lower-friction backup, and avoid assuming every dinner needs to happen on Disney property.
Logistics reality
The hotel is strongest for visitors who will actually use the Disney Springs area. If the trip is mostly early park mornings and quick returns, the dining advantage is less important.
Best use case
Families and value-conscious Disney visitors who want easier access to off-park meals without losing the Disney-area base.
Skip it if
Skip it if you want a full Disney resort environment or if you do not plan to spend meaningful time around Disney Springs.
Final verdict
A practical Disney-area food-access stay when location and value are more important than deluxe resort atmosphere.
