Bonnet Creek is by far the nicest.


Lake Buena Vista is just across the street from DTD so it is probably the best location


Embassy has more space and free breakfast and evening snacks

Love, love, love Hilton Bonnet Creek!

Very clean, airy, modern, huge, and has a very large pool and lazy river for the family.

First question, will you have a car? If no, you have to consider shuttles, if you do you have to consider parking fees.

Downtown Disney
- Hilton is nice, great perk is direct walk over to DTD if you plan on going, nice pool area - relaxing and adult like, if you are eligible a concierge lounge. Down side is I don't think the rooms have been rehabbed in a long time and not only is there a hefty resort fee but also a parking fee. I do think the resort fee is waived if using points, but check this.
- Doubletree Suites are two rooms and very roomy and have just been totally renovated. Looks really nice. Pool area is smaller but really fine with kids water play area, one of best continental breakfasts if you get it included. Always had great customer service here. Parking fee here.
- Hilton Bonnet Creek, I haven't stayed but my sister alot and loves it there. They have the lazy river and nice pool area. Good location. They do have the resort fee and parking but again, the points may cancel the fee portion.
- Embassy Suites LBV - we've stayed, it's your basic Embassy Suites. Doesn't seem to have had many upgrades lately, atrium a tropical fee to it. Has your big breakfast cooked to order buffet. A good location but you will have to go through DTD which is congested unless you go back out to highway and around. No extra fees like parking.
- Embassy Suites South LBV - stayed many times since it opened a couple years ago and it's really nice. Suites are very big, well appointed (3 sinks!) and the customer service there top notch. The cooked to order breakfast is great with many extras we haven't seen at other Embassy. Pool are very nice, upscale lounges, big hot tub. It is literally 10 minutes door to door to the parks as you go straight in and not via I-4 or DTD. No extra fees like parking.

Depending on your dates and how many days sometimes you can get point-savers too. But where depends on your transportation, do you want suite vs rooms, do you want big breakfast, do you want to walk to DTD? Also verify the resort fees are not added on with points stays, $22 a day could be a big surprise, particularly since they are not low point stays.

Thank you for the feedback! We will have a Car with us, But I would rather take a shuttle that has decent times running. I will remember to ask about the resort fee. Im ok with a parking fee, but I don't want to have to pay for parking fee and resort fee. We have a 4 year old and 8 month old. My top two choices are the Doubletree and Hilton Bonnet creek
