We initially found the Holiday Inn at WDW on trip advisor. After staying at a Disney resort all 5 of my past visits, and being thoroughly disgusted the last 2 times, there was no way I was taking my family back. (They need some serious refurbishments) Was I nervous about staying off property for the first time? You bet! But the minute we pulled up I knew I had nothing to worry about, and I was right. I planned this trip for my 7 other family members, so there was a little pressure to do well :)
The staff were more than accomodating, and extremely friendly! Everyone welcomed us back at the end of each day, and greeted us each morning as we headed out. We had adjoining rooms on the 5th floor of the wing building. It was great! The shuttles to the parks were exactly the same as the shuttles you get at the Disney resorts, except they are blue. Honestly, I felt like we were staying at a "mini-disney resort". It wasn't giant and loud and run down, it was small and quiet, and new and clean......and still offered most of the same perks as when staying on property. It was perfect for our trip. We will be back, for sure!
I work at a hotel in the midwest, and we are known for our great, Mid-western hospitality. This is something that I am always looking for at other properties, and the staff at Holiday Inn at WDW definitely delivered! Kudos to a great staff and a wonderful hotel!
