Don't miss: Early Morning Hour - the only DTD hotel that offers it! Also, on Sundays they havecharacter breakfasts.

Room Location Suggestion: On the PI side - you can see Illuminations and Fantasmic fireworks, as well Howewver,your walk from the parking lot it further.

The Mouse For less Tip: I got this from Priceline for $70/night. Also, If you have a car, go south on 535 south of the 4 exit to fill up your car before returning it. I saved 33 cents a gallon by heading south about 5 minutes.

Comments: I didn't actually stay in my room a whole lot, but I did notice that everything looked very new,including the carpeting and the paint in the bathroom ceiling. (I notice that tends to get mildewy quickly).They had real hair driers, wall-attached makeup mirrors, and a rug in the bathroom which was nice on the tootsieson that cold tile. They also have a safe, and I used my iron and ironing board. I didn't use any of the otheramenities, but did take advantage of the early morning at MGM but drove myself. It is VERY convenient to walk to Downtown Disney from the Hilton, and you get a wonderful view of the place but no noise (except from the pool -why are little kids out there screamuing at 9:30 PM???). This was slow season, but it never took me more than 20 minutesto get to anywhere at WDW. I checked out a day early and the person checking me out was very concerned that itwas their fault. (It wasn't.) I asked 2 different concierge's questions and received correct answers each time,although neither person was exceptionally pleasant.

Don't Miss: : Benihanna restaurant

Room Location Suggestion: #562 corner room overlooking front of hotel.

The Mouse For less Tip: Rent a car! Bus service is sparse and unreliable.

Comments: Really liked our room, the beds were the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in! The room was very sound proof = we never heard our neighbors! Housekeeping didn't restock the coffee well, I had to ask for more caffinated. The overall service was good, location was great, but Downtown Disney bus service is the PITS! The pool(s) are huge & there's a nice waterfall jacuzi.
