Can anyone help me find the right hotel near DTD?

[megs1313]

There is just so much information to wade through and I am seriously on overload. we have ONE night that we need a room for. We'd like to stay near DTD because we have a dinner reservation at T-REX that night. We will have a car with us. We're arriving early in the morning and hitting one of the parks (not sure which, whichever has the lowest crowd prediction probably) during the day. Here is what we would like in the hotel:

two queen beds (4 of us, two adults, two kids)
free parking
shuttle service to disney parks/DTD

Is there a hotel that fits this bill??? I would be ever so grateful if someone would point me in the right direction! TIA!

would suggest the DD hotels - you can easily walk to DD from it - otherwise you will be driving.

There is a Hilton for around 150.00 a night and a Wyndham for around 100.00 a night right across the street from DTD. The walkway enters where the fountain is that the kids are usaually running through. They are a perfect location for DTD. We always get there a day early and stay at the Hilton before we go to our resort the next day. It's about a three minute walk from either hotel to DTD.

The Holiday Inn WDW is right next door to the Hilton, a 5 min walk to DTD. I stayed there for 10 days, and it was great. (And it's new!).

However, the Hilton gets extra magic hours, which may interest you.

I agree and would also highly recommend the Holiday Inn. We stayed there 2 years ago and loved it. The only thing is that you have to pay for parking. I believe it's either $10 or $15 per night. When we were there, the renovation had just been completed, and everything looked new.

I've seen some of the DTD hotels show up on betterbidding.com, which means that you can definitely get them on Priceline for lower than rack rate.
