The kids pack is a little bag with a bunch of little toys for the kids.The two moms I talked to said the bus service was excellent and reliable. We did not use the bus service. They looked at me like, duh, of course it's great. That's why we're here...to get to the parks on time!Very much a family hotel. Don't think I saw any business travelers when we were there. Very kid and family friendly. Pool area was perfect for our DD 3. Kiddie pool was hours of fun for her as was the big pool area. She even liked the little play ground. We climbed on that and played in the sand one night for a while. They have Pizza Hut service there so it's great for a family meal. The little market gift shop has everything you'd ever need in the way of food, snacks, alcohol and toiletries and although the prices were inflated, not as bad as I've seen in other Orlando hotel gift shops.B-fast was amazing, like I said. The wait staff was always good to my daughter and talked to her and played with her.
We were there the night before Easter. Very clean, very very friendly. We used a mousesavers code and had the free breakfast as well. Very yummy. At check in the kids got a little goodie bag, we got tons of those warm chocolate chip cookies and even a tin of them when we left. On Easter morning they had a big easter egg hunt for the kids. I think the staff was having more fun then the kidsIt was great! We only used the bus service once and it was fine. There was a little waiting but on a Saturday evening around DTD nobody was moving fast.
So a big thumbs up from us. We would certainly go back.
Just got back from a last minute 3 night stay at the Double Tree Suites by Downtown Disney. Can't say enough good things! Customer service from every staff member was above par! Dare I say even better than some cast members I've dealt with
Got warm walnut choc. chip cookies upon arrival. Suite was HUGE! Perfect for the three of us to spread out! Plus, they have the Disney info channel on their tv.This place is a hidden gem with the right price. Had we not already booked a package with WDW for our Aug. trip, I would consider staying here. We drove a rental car and it was easy on and off the freeway. We did not do the parks, but did downtown and a couple of character meals at resorts. The pool area was just perfect for our needs...our 3 yr old DD who just loved to splash and float. We did not use the buses to the parks but the two moms I chatted with said they were reliable and liked the service. Huge b-fast buffet...continental or full service WITH Mickey waffles!
We had a free continental with our room rate, but it was $5 for adults and $1 for children to add the full buffet. Fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee was more than adequate for me and cereal, milk, and pb toast was perfect for DD and DH. Wait staff there was great! So friendly and helpful and really interacted with DD. We also had dinner in the Evergreen Cafe. Meal selection was small, but delicious. I had rotisserie chicken and fresh sauteed veggies and was in heaven. DD fell asleep before her pizza came so the waiter boxed up and kept it warm until we left! We paid $89 a night (79+parking) and got the room, free continental b-fast, 20% off for dinner, and the warm cookies and kids play pack for DD. Would definitely stay here again!
