The Doubletree was nice because after we put the kids to bed we could sit in the living room with our friends and hang out (we didn't have ajoining rooms, but our rooms were next to each other and we brought a baby monitor). It was also nice when my brother came with us, he slept on the sofa. Also, since we like to go to DTD in the evenings, we liked being able to walk there and back. But you don't get magic hours and if you do early morning meals in the parks, you'll probably have to cab it to get to your reservation on time (we took lots of cabs, although there are buses from the hotel that work fine).
