Hilton rooms

[DB2552]

Can anyone tell me where the best rooms are at the WDW Hilton? Are there rooms that overlook the pool and still be able to see the fireworks? This is our first time there. Just got it for $60 for 10 days in July through Priceline! We've stayed at the MOWC for the last 2 years and my kids are spoiled from their great pools and hot tubs. I hope the Hilton is as nice. Thanks for any help.

We stayed at the Hilton about 3 years ago. Alas, you won't be able to see the fireworks, but there are many other positives and for a rate of $60, I think you'll be pleased.
We stayed in a room with a front of the hotel view, so I can't give you any hints for a pool view. It's a nice large pool, children's pool and hot tub. It's more of a rectangle from my recollection than a wandering type pool (I'm not sure what the MOWC has.) It was nice enough that when we took our day off, we hung around.
It is walking distance to DD. We found the transportation to the parks easy to use, so even though we had a car, we used their buses. There is only 1 or maybe 2 other hotels on the route. I recall they depart about every 30 minutes. It's a bit wierd catching the bus back from the parks because you catch them in a lot, but again, we found it managable. I'm not sure, but if you have park hoppers, you may be able to use the Disney bus system...maybe someone else can clarify on the transportation forum.
One other idea that we had - we bought a styrofoam cooler at a Walgreens down the road ?Palm Pkwy?, took ziploc bags and kept some beverages, etc. in the room.
The Hilton is close to Crossroads where there are many chain restaurants - Fridays, Pizzeria Uno and more. There is a grocery store but it is expensive.
You'll have fun I'm sure!
