Definetly get a rental car (enterprise car rental nxt door) if u plan on doing anything else besides any Disney park especially Universal studios or Sea World no shuttle for those parks. You really should visit Universal Studios take a 2days for that! Every Disney park takes a day to see all of the park so you'll need at least 5 days for all of em!

Hotel Review

The hotel was clean when we first recieved it and when we came back to the room after a long day out we found the room clean and tidy. The room was always restocked with towels,soap,and clean sheets. The location of the hotel is incredible. The amusement parks are super close and great food around the area.

Beware of extra hidden fee

The hotel was just remodeled from the ground up, so the facilty was absolutely beautiful! The room was large, very clean and had a great view. The entire hotel centers around the pool, so it is a very fun place to stay with kids. The only complaint I had for the trip was the $10 per night parking fee that they told us about upon our arrival. (or $16 per night valet - it is your choice). I dislike undisclosed charges because many times it creates an unfair disadvantage for those hotels that include these type of charges in their nightly rates.

Orlando Family Getaway

Brief family get-away to hang out in the Disney environment and shop at the outlets for a change of scenery. The hotel had a nice atmosphere and we had a nice room with a balcony overlooking the Downtown Disney area and Epcot landmarks...clean, beds and pillows were very comfortable. I was not aware of required parking fee of $10 self parking or $16 valet...but there was plenty of parking available, not a deal breaker. Convenient to Downtown Disney and outlets...only down side was an operable phone and the lack of a microwave in the room to heat our leftovers from dinner later that night. I would return...however, the price was a little high for the offerings...probably due to it being a holiday weekend.

UNO's pizza is just a short drive across from the entrance of the Disney property and the food is always delicious and fresh...and the service is always good.

Holiday Inn Downtown Disney Resort area

We chose the hotel because it was within walking distance to Downtown Disney and we wanted a vacation without driving. We had previously stayed at a competitor hotel closer to Downtown Disney by about 3 minutes walk but chose this hotel as a change of pace (but was also $20 per night less expensive!). This hotel was heads above the competitor in all areas important to us including room cleanliness, bed comfort, swimming pool and spa cleanliness - the pool was beautiful with plenty of towels poolside and loads of lounges to relax. The housekeeping staff was most accommodating, leaving plenty of extra towels and shampoo and conditioner. The desk staff was both friendly and helpful, the rooms, recently renovated, were spotless. This was the best weekend we have spent in the area in several years. I strongly recommend others to try the amenities of this hotel if you are looking for an immaculate rooe within 8 minutes walk of Downtown Disney. By the way, bus shuttle is available to all Disney parks from the hotel.

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

Try the Cirque de Soleil "La Neuba" and mention you are a Florida resident and you might get great seats at a significant discount. Also, if you like Rain Forest Cafe, join the Rainforest Club for a couple of bucks. We got $10.00 off dinner because it was my birthday (internet coupon) and a second $10 discount in their gift shop (a SECOND internet coupon)
