I have a friend that is staying at the Hilton that is on Disney property. She was asking me some questions, but we have only stayed on property so I wasn't sure how to answer her questions. :confused3

So, if you stay at the Hilton, can you get the Disney dining plan?

Does Disney transportation buses travel to the Hilton?

Are there any other differences that I should know about in order to tell her?

She wanted to buy tickets at the local Disney store, but how would she then add the dining plan?

TIA!
 
DP only for those who stay on property and same goes for transportation and ME. Hilton is on property but not operated by Disney. Those hotels have their own transportation that allso run to parks every 30 min but share with other hotels in a same area. Go to hotels board, lots of info there, I know nothing about Hilton.:)

1) So, if you stay at the Hilton, can you get the Disney dining plan?

1) Nope, DDP is only available to guests staying at Disney resorts.

2) They do have transportation service to the parks, but it is not Disney Transportation. I believe for MK you are dropped off at the T&TC.

3) I imagine that you are aware that staying at the DTD Hilton (I assume that's the one you are refering to) allows for attending EMH. Only other thing to add is you will not be able to park for free at the parks (again only guests staying at Disney resorts).

4) Unforntunately she can't get the Dining plan staying at the Hilton.
 

I'm going to move this to our Orlando hotel board.
 
We stayed there once and I remember transportation being pretty good. It's been a while though. It was nice to have EMH.
 
Thanks for these answers! I will pass them on.

That is a bummer about the dining plan. I would think Disney would want all people to have access to that, but I guess then they would be losing out on money?
 
I think that Disney offers it to lure people to stay in Disney hotels but I am a little surprised that they don't have any kind of offer for the Downtown Disney hotel guests. They could just charge more maybe?
