Just returned from conference held 7/27-31. Conference was at Hilton but I chose Courtyard based on recent good experience. I happen to be a Marquis member and faxed Courtyard prior to my visit. My sister was also staying at Courtyard. For $79/ night the gave us both 14th floor rooms with great views of all the fireworks from EPCOT, MK and Pleasure Island. We could even see some of ending from Fantasmic. Rooms are about the same size as Contemporary and in pretty decent shape. Hotel was offering complimentary beer and wine with snacks 4:00-6:00 each night. There is a snack bar to get sandwhiches, pizza and such and a "restaraunt" attached that had a nice breakfast buffet. Bus service is ok, a bit longer than most Disney Hotels but busses are more comfortable. A little inconvenience for drop off/ pick up at Parks (in the parking lot) but all in all at the rate it was a great deal.
One thing quite different than most hotels, maid service could be scheduled within reason. I would leave at 7:00 for conference, be back at room by 8:30 for business call and room was made up each day by my return!
