I'm back from my best trip in 30 years(This was number ten for me). We spent 5 of our 9 days at the Courtyard by Marriot DD. First, there was no resort fee but we didn't receive a newspaper automatically, either. Even though we didn't use the service, there is bus service to the Disney parks from the resort. You get a pass. To get early entry through this resort, you must go by their bus. Also, I know some walked back and forth to Downtown Disney to use the Disney buses. I don't recommend the walk but it's possible to do it.
I won't say the room was tip-top but what do you want for $25 a day? In our room, we had a little bit of peeling wallpaper. There was a little mildew in the grout in the bathroom shower. The beds were ok but the pillows were lacking. Noise level was ok meaning the room seemed well insulated. One morning, our first morning there, we decided to sleep in late like 10am and we found the shower water lacking in hot water. It was as if it was all used up. By our return to our room in the afternoon it seemed fine. Now, I have to say I keep my house up better but it's tolerable for the price and conveniencce of location. Our view sucked but we didn't care; we were out most days from 7am til 10pm anyway(We would take a little break in the room). The A/C worked great. We didn't use the pool but I could tell some were enjoying that amenity. Parking wasn't too bad, either. Breakfast was available there at an extra cost. There was a small bar as part of the lobby area in the back. By the way, the room was spacious by comparison to the All-Star resorts at Disney.
My one complaint would be is to watch out for the time-sharing rep that's in the lobby all the time.
If asked would I stay there again for $25 a night; I would say yes.
Good luck to you all.
