DoubleTree in Disney Springs?

[disneymouse16]

Any experiences with DoubleTree at Disney Springs? I love that our family of six could stay there. My biggest concern would be transportation. How are the times from the hotel to the parks? Frequency of shuttles? How were the rooms? Just looking for overall reviews, I guess! Thanks!

We stayed once when we decided to arrive early. It was only 1 night stay, but we liked it. Check out Mousesavers.com. And sign up for their newsletter. They post discounts that often can include free breakfast. We had room discount + free breakfast. You book yourself using the link provided.
1 bdrm suite was very spacious and comfortable. Nice kitchenette area and dining table. Our room had 2 beds in bedroom. And pull out sofa in living room. At the time they were Full size but have since been upgraded to queens.
Bus service runs continually every 30min which is more than I can say for my last WDW resort stay.
I’d stay there again. It was very nice, great amenities all for a little more than the price of a WDW value resort and way cheaper than AllStars family suites.

Yep, and I'll move it over there.

I've stayed there a few times, but it was a years ago. I like the suites and the hotel itself is nice. Close enough to walk to Disney Springs. Never used the buses, so can't comment on those. I always have a rental car. I would stay there again if I could get a good deal.

One of our favorites at Disney Springs. Rooms renovated maybe 4 years ago, well appointed. I like the layout of the rooms, side by side so both have large walls of windows making it feel even bigger. I like the dining table/chairs (we got extras brought in) and the kitchenette since we like breakfast in room. Pool area is not fancy but certainly a nice spot to cool off. Some deals include a free continental breakfast. NO resort fee.

Here is the bus information -

Here is the official transportation flyer given to guests staying at the seven Disney Springs Hotels. This covers the following hotels:

Shuttles leave every 30 minutes all day long at designated times. The shuttles are run by Mears Transportation, which has been a Disney partner for decades. (They run Disney's Magical Express service.) Each shuttle runs to two different parks. It's usually one to Epcot, then Disney's Hollywood Studios and the other to the Transportation and Ticket Center (transfer to monorail/ferry for Magic Kingdom), then Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Although each bus stops at multiple hotels, these stops usually only take 2-3 minutes each. The exception would be if there are wheelchairs or ECVs to load/unload. All of these hotels are literally next to each other. In some cases, it only takes 1 minute to go from one hotel to the next.

Note: With the Disney Springs Hotels being added to the Extra Magic Hours program, the shuttle buses will certainly expand beyond the "regular park hours" that are listed on these flyers.

If anyone has questions, please ask.

I booked a stay there for this coming June, hoping it's good (I just want extra space for all 5 of us). If you go through the page on disneyspringshotels.com the current offer in includes free parking. I'm coupling that with my hilton gold status which gives us free breakfast as well. It was the best hotel deal I could find for an on property hotel. When are you looking to go?
