I was very impressed with the Hilton and think it's a great option when you NEED to stay in Orlando and not Disney lol.It looks really nice, especially the lazy river!
We didn't tour the B Resort but I actually thought of you while we were touring Nothing wrong look or cleanliness-wise with any of the resorts (well, I did NOT like the look of the DoubleTree for real) but just like you said, I fail to see any benefit of being offsite if you're doing Disney for those same reasons! While transportation is not always 100% when on property offsite is just a headache from the start and as you found out, resort fees so the initial price you see isn't necessarily what you pay. And adding in getting to and from MCO! Too many additional costs and extra things to think about!hen I stayed at B resort in March which was fine for the price. But....transportation sucks, there is no Magical Express and there are resort fees that jack up the room rate. I am a bubble girl, through and through.
And I'm STILL not done! 8 batches of cookies today (no coconut so you're welcome to some) and I had hoped to finish wrapping but by the time I finished baking at 5:30 was DONE. So tomorrow I finish errands and clean so hopefully I can relax a bit on the 24th!Good grief... NO!
THIS 100%. I want to concentrate on the fireworks which I love and projections I feel take away from that. That's why I really enjoyed the filler show at Epcot and was not a fan of the new MNSSHP fireworksditto. I want to look at one thing, not constantly be trying to look at two things at once.
Good question Yes with lots of people it's the space especially if they have 5 in their party. And also,so many 1st timers hear from friends and family who are trying to be helpful that it's SO expensive and not worth it to stay onsite. I won't argue the expensive but I don't see staying offsite being much less when you factor in extra costs and annoyances! And during busy periods like holiday weeks the Hiltons top out around $400 a night which is more in line with deluxes!If the price point is that high, then why stay there? Just for a bit more space??? Not for me. I'm barely in my room anyways.
One sits in a chair.
You're welcome.
See even at my age I learn something new every day
Yup it's a TS! You can even make a reservation to eat and NOT bowl!I didn't know they had a TS in there... or even a QS. Thought it was just bowling with very limited snacks.
Both times we've been with the kids we go to bowl and then end up getting something to eat so you don't have to have an ADR that way either. The food is surprisingly super good and if you search the DIS you'll find lots of people suggesting Splitsville for sushi The theming is really neat!
I believe it should be garnishing all your drink glasses?You and I have very similar drink tastes. Too bad you can't seem to figure out where coconut should be in that hierarchy.
The trees and shrub?
I know it wasn't too hard lol. The others are much smaller but I do think it's nice they have a Disney touch.
