Lake Buena Vista, Tourism district city in Orange County, Florida.
Lake Buena Vista covers roughly 3 square miles (8 square kilometers) with organized streets, parks, and retail zones near the Walt Disney World Resort. The municipality consists mainly of entertainment facilities, hotels, and commercial spaces aimed at tourists.
The municipality incorporated in 1967 as Reedy Creek before adopting its current name in honor of a street at the Disney Studios in Burbank. The administrative structure developed alongside the construction of the nearby resort complex.
The city's venues host evening shows that combine international dishes with live performances, including jousting matches and musical acts. Visitors experience a mix of entertainment and global flavors during these dinner theater events.
Reaching the area works best via Interstate 4, which provides direct access to the region. Parking is available at hotels and commercial areas, with short distances between most facilities.
With only 24 permanent residents recorded in 2020, the municipality serves mainly as an official address for administrative purposes tied to the nearby theme park. This small population makes it one of Florida's tiniest cities by headcount.
