We staying at Hilton Bonnet Creek. It's within the confines of the Disney gates but isn't a Disney hotel. I have to say we haven't even got there yet and they seem WORLD CLASS! With my son being Autistic, he can't handle showers so I contacted the hotel direct to ask if we could pre-book the actual room (US don't assign your room til you get there, they just take the payment beforehand) to ensure we have a bath-shower combo and explained about my son's medical condition. I got a FAB reply from the Front Desk Supervisor who has organised lots of nice surprises that they going to put in the room for my son prior to arrival and she has emailed last night to see if there's anything we need.. she also sorted out my transfers and dining reservations so that I could relax a bit and enjoy the planning (esp as my son has NO IDEA we are even going on hol!) I was originally booked into a motel but I changed my booking with Thomson and they said I could have 7 nights in a Disney hotel or 14 nights in a hotel within the confines of Disney gates for same price so choice was a no-brainer as far as I was concerned!
