Has anyone stayed in one of these new properties?

I stayed at the Springhill Suites there and highly recommend it. Nice new rooms and the whole property feels very upscale. The pool area is beautiful too.

Thanks!

I understand the only transport to the Parks goes to TTC-is that accurate?

If so,how often does this bus run?

How are the dining options there?

Thanks!

We had a rental car and used that to get to the parks, so I can't comment on the bus service. They have a free breakfast buffet, and for lunch and dinner they just added a new restaurant near the pool. It wasn't there when we stayed there a year ago, so I also can't comment on the quality. And if you have a car Coronado Springs, the McDonalds, the All Star Resorts and Animal Kingdom Lodge are very close if you want to have dinner there.

I stayed at the SpringHill Suites in the studio and the room was really nice! My son loved the Mickey waffles on the breakfast buffet (they had chocolate chips and whipped cream to add to your waffles). It was crazy busy at breakfast, but the hotel brought out big pans of waffles to shorten the line for the make your own waffles. They were doing their best to keep up with the food. He was sad that we didn't get a chance to try out the pool.

We had our own car, so i can't comment on the transportation. There is nothing out there other than the two hotels, so I think you would definitely want a car! It was a quick drive to the parks and no traffic. The parking lot did fill up quickly at night. The place was packed! I was glad that I had made reservations in advance. I considered just waiting, because I wasn't sure exactly how far I was going to make it driving and there wasn't really a discount for booking in advance.

We stayed at Towneplace Suites and would happily stay there again! We chose TownePlace over Springhill b/c Springhill only has a shower and no bath tub (we have a toddler). We were also impressed that they had a pack n play completely set up in our room before our arrival (didn't use it, but it was definitely thoughtful), and the bed was really comfy.

We drive to Disney, so I'm not sure about their transportation options, but the location is right outside one of the big Disney entrance signs, and it was super fast and easy to get there from the MK. As mentioned, there is nothing else around, so a car is helpful...

That said, we loved that the onsite restaurant/bar was open late. Food was decent, and they actually had some local craft beers. It was a nice way to unwind after a day in the parks.

Free breakfast was also nice, but like other places with free breakfast, it helps to get there a little earlier. It was pretty crowded, but not unmanageable, and they did promptly close it up at the stated end time.
