Lake Buena Vista Resort is an approved Regional Center, so we were excited to learn that President Obama signed legislation that incorporates an extension of the EB-5 immigrant visa program extending it until October 2012. What a great opportunity for foreign nationals to take advantage of this fast track to obtain Green Cards for themselves and their immediate family.

Now, Lake Buena Vista Resort has two more honors to add to its list. Awards were received from two of the top international travel and tour operators in the industry proving that the Resort can more than hold its own against the industry’s top national brands. Virgin Holidays, the largest transatlantic tour operator for travel to the U.S. and Caribbean, presented the Lake Buena Vista Resort with a Silver Award in the “Best Family Hotel” category (second only to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas). TUI Travel PLC, a UK-based international leisure and travel company operating in 180 countries, awarded the Resort with the Gold Choice Award for “Best Four Star Property”. The Resort was one of two properties to be chosen in the entire United States. So, what are you waiting for? Book your reservation today.
