When I was planning our Sept. trip it was not easy finding info on the DD hotels. I picked the Courtyard because I got the best rate there and from the maps I looked at it was close enough to walk to DD. It was just me and my DH so we did not care about themeing, we wanted EE and we could have stayed at the All Stars for about the same price, but from everything I read they just seemed to spread out and to noisy. I feel I made the right choice and we really enjoyed our vacation. I think the best way to choose is to find out what perks you want and what is the least expensive way to get them because I don't think any of the DD hotels are all that different.
