If you are in a location north of Lake Buena Vista, you could fly/drive/walk down there.
If you are south of the lake you could fly/drive/walk up there.

"Down" is just another preposition specifying the (relative) direction in which the flight goes. It would also be correct to say "Catch a charter plane, fly to Lake Buena Vista" but adding the preposition "down" gives the reader (or listener) a clue as to where the writer (or speaker) is located - probably somewhere north of Lake Buena Vista.
You can't leave out the prepostion "to", though. So it would be wrong to say "Catch a charter plane, fly down Lake Buena Vista".

If you were on a high plateau, and the lake were in a valley, you could fly down northwards to it.
