Orlando is home to Walt Disney World and several other Disney theme parks. Many hotels are located in Orlando, and most offer shuttles to either the airport or to Disney World, but most airports do not offer both. Instead, many hotels near the airport offer free airport shuttles, and many hotels near Disney World offer free shuttles to the park and airport shuttle service through a company called Mears Transportation. However, the Hilton offers both, but the airport shuttle is not free.
The Hilton Walt Disney World Resort is a large Hilton hotel with 800 rooms. Most rooms feature a private patio or balcony, and an outdoor pool and hot tub is located in the hotel. There is also a fitness center in the hotel. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet daily and, on Sunday mornings, features the Disney Character Breakfast, where you and your children can eat and mingle with all the Disney characters. Aside from the Disney parks, other nearby attractions include shopping, dining and several golf courses. A restaurant and bar are located on-site.
The Hilton Walt Disney World Resort offers free shuttle service to Walt Disney World and all other Disney theme parks and attractions. The shuttle service is free, though tipping your driver a few dollars is a nice gesture. The shuttle service saves you the hassle and cost of driving and parking at the theme parks. Ask the front desk to arrange a shuttle for you.
The hotel also offers shuttle service to the airport, though the service is not free. Airport shuttle services cost $20 per person, or $33 round trip (as of August 2010). The airport shuttle service is not free because the airport is 13 miles away, roughly a 25-minute drive. You can arrange the shuttle service with the front desk.
The Hilton Walt Disney World Resort is located in Lake Buena Vista, directly across from Downtown Disney, an area of shops and restaurants. Walt Disney World and other Disney theme parks are just a few minutes away. Because of its location, guests at the Hilton Walt Disney World Resort can take advantage of Disney's Extra Magic Hours, a program that allows guests at certain resorts to enter parks up to an hour early and stay up to three hours after regular closing time. This is a complimentary program offered to guests at the Hilton and a few other nearby hotels and resorts.
