Which Hilton Villas????

[azlaura]

I am looking at staying at one of the Hilton Villas(Parc or International Dr) and I can't decide which one. This is for 3 nights prior to our stay at AKV in DisneyWorld. Any comments or opinions would be great!
Thanks

Anyone???

have only stayed at the one near Seaworld.

although heard (can't verify) that the Parc is closer.

although the one off of ID is pretty close too. It is very close to a big outlet mall. So if you are including shopping then would go with ID.

Parc (Palm Pkwy) vs Grand (Vineland / IDrive-S) are relatively the same in terms of distance / location / peace / quiet / ambiance. Grand is more residential, next to Publix and outlets.

Access to DTD is better from Parc, access to everything is balanced from Vineland.

They are both very nice properties. I-Drive has a lovely villa feel while Parc Soleil has more of a modern hotel feel. Parc Soleil feels more remote and is very quiet but is actually quite close to Disney I was able to view Disney fireworks from my balcony in Tower 100.

That is a good point, if you have a room that faces the right direction, you should be able to see fireworks. We see them everytime we drive down Palm / Turkey Lake at night.

If you look at the Parc buildings on google maps satellite view... they form a V... more like a < really. If you consider the < and the pool and resort stuff are in the middle, you want to be on the pointy part of the bottom leg... where it meets the top leg, on the outside of the <.

Epcot and MK are some distance away, yet they shoot high enough that the show is still spectacular. You can check the positioning of the parks on Google maps also.

Hey Pineapple Whip, we are staying at the Parc in March...can you clarify where I should request a room? And Dole Pineapple Whip is to die for...it is one of my favorite things about WDW....do they have it (with the pineapple juice, of course) anyplace else other than Aloha Isle ?????
