Our family of 5 just returned from 6 days at WDW...had a fabulous time! Stayed at the Hilton in DTD and wanted to post my comments.
The Hotel is rated by Mobile and AAA as a four star/four diamond property, and has maintained this level for several years. This is very much a high end, deluxe quality hotel. I have stayed at Disney moderates in the past and MUCH prefer the Hilton. The Hilton is on the level of a Disney Deluxe Resort but is probably priced more in line with the Disney moderate properties.
All rooms are interior corridor and very upscale.....great linens, beds, bath amenities, wonderful room decor. We happened to stay on the Concierge level and loved the extra amenities for the breakfast and day-long snacks. Would have enjoyed the room even if we were not on the Concierge level. The hotel does have what they term a "family suite". This is a junior suite....essentially an oversized room with either a king bed or two double beds and sitting area with a sofa that folds out into a double bed. Would definitely work for a family of five. We happened to have a King Junior Suite (King bed with a sofa that folds out) plus an attached bedroom with 2 double beds. It was one of the nicest hotels in which we stayed. I would rate this on par with the Hard Rock Hotel or Portofino at Universal.
We did NOT use their park bus transportation as we like to have our own car. If transportation is important, you might want to reconsider. The park transportation stops at many other hotels before heading to the theme parks. The Disney moderate resorts have better transportation - but the Hilton is tops in all other amenities in my opinion.
We loved the location and the high end feel of the property. Does not have the "Disney-theming" of the Disney moderates like Port Orleans, but that was not important to us.....a high quality property was important. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to all.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
