I think you will like the doubletree at DTD.

I would never consider a hotel. There are so many fantastic (and inexpensive) rental properties that are so much nicer. Are the 4 adults two couples? Do the kids each need their own room or can they share? You can get a 3 or 4-bedroom house or 3-bedroom condo or townhouse if that's enough rooms. A 3-bedroom place goes for about $100/night, a bit more for a 4-br. That gives you a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, your own private pool if you get a house. And plenty of space for everyone to hang out but still have privacy when needed.

Check out VRBO.com for ideas.

We have stayed many times at the Staybridge Suites, LBV. The set up we get is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite that has a full kitchen. There is a king bed in one bedroom, 2 doubles in the other, and a pull out in the front room. You can sleep 8 easy and not feel crowded. Plus a free continental breakfast is included in the cost of the room.

I don't think we have ever paid more than $150 a night. It is right at the entrance to DTD, so you are thisclose to Disney property.

That is a great hotel / suite with a premier location. And a great, free breakfast. Right next door is Cypress Pointe Resort (they actually share a common pond & the whole planned community development) which offers 2 and 3 bedroom units for rent. Either one would work great for you with CPR being the more "resort" type of the two (but no free breakfast there).

Check out Windsor Hills and rent a condo or even a pool house. Five minutes from Disney and you get a lot more for the price.

I was going to suggest this too, but the OP is not staying for a week, so I wondering if a self catering place will be worth it after the cleaning fees...

Good point. Most owners want a one-week rental or else they charge a cleaning fee, usually $60-$70, so that wouldn't be worth it for a 3-night stay. Perhaps a suite hotel would be the better deal. How about a place like Sheraton Vistana? I think they rent by the night and often have packages available through this site (they have a business relationship with Dreams Unlimited Travel, Pete's travel agency).
