We stayed there last week and I thought I’d report back since I’d seen other posts about people planning trips there. First it’s surprisingly dated. We tag along with DH to a lot of business conferences and stay at similar hotel chains like Marriott and this is the first trip me I can remember not having a mini fridge in the room. I asked about it and was told only the suites do. Since the weather was crazy hot this was annoying. When we got back to the room we wanted cold drinks. I had brought water and apple sauce pouches for the kids and the ice in the bucket did not keep things cold.
The shuttle worked great. They do only leave 45 minutes before DL EMH but it got us there in plenty of time to be near the front. We never saw it full in the morning on the first shuttle or too full to pick up at night. When the park was closing at midnight they picked up at midnight, 12:30 and last shuttle was at 1. The hotel shuttle leaves at 15/45 and picks up at 00/30. For the most part they ran on time. It was confusing the first night because the pick up spot 13 is shared with other hotels so it can look very crowded. I had never heard of the Majestic but it picks up there and always had huge amounts of people who couldn’t get on their bus. At one point there was even a sign for the Majestic on the pillar so it can be confusing and make you feel like you’re in the wrong spot.
Security moved pretty quickly. It was the longest wait on the one day we didn’t RD and came around noon.
We only stayed there because it was chosen by DH’s work so honestly I wouldn’t book it myself. The beds weren’t very comfortable and the elevators took forever. There is no a/c in the hallways so it was pretty hot waiting for the elevators. The shuttles were efficient which was great but otherwise not a place I’d recommend.
