We stayed there last October after checking out of the Holiday Inn Family Suites. Did not like the Holiday Inn at all. However,
we really enjoyed the Doubletree. I think we paid $115.00.
I'm sure we could of got a better deal if we made our reservation in advance but I couldn't stay one more day at the HIFS. I think the walk to the DTD stores was about 10 minutes. Really close. You could also walk to some fast food places outside of downtown disney because you are close to the gate as well.
Pool was ok. They have a separate baby pool if I remember correctly. I loved the room. It came with a refrig. microwave, kitchen sink, ironing board, coffee maker. The room is a suite with two double beds, tv, dressing area, bathroom (with a third tv), on one side and bifold doors closing it off from a sofa/bed, tv, kitchen area, living area. All of the extras were nice with kids. Make sure to request a DTD view instead of the other side which is a busy road/hiway. We were able to see fireworks several nights. They have a gift store, a convenience shop, restaurant, bar, car rental agency and arcade on property. I would surely stay there again. Especially if you like having the microwave and frig. Also, the rooms were very spacious. Never felt cramped. Hope this helps.
