Hi ladies!
I've missed you! LOL Ok, I've missed planning a WDW trip too! I'm thinking about my next trip I was wondering if you could answer a couple questions. My dh recently got a second job and I found out that he gets a really great employee discount for ALL hilton hotels! Well, the first thing we BOTH thought was WDW!!! SO, I found out there is a Hilton and from what I understand it is on Disney property. Is that right? My other question is about the dining plan. We did the free dining last year and I don't think I would ever want to go without it now! So, can we do the hilton (if its on WDW property) and get the free dining?
Thanks ladies! Hopefully you can help me! And hopefully we will be back to planning our next WDW trip soon! YAY!
Oh, ps, for anyone that DOES remember me, you might remember that I unexpectantly got pregnant right in the middle of planning my trip so I thought I'd give a pick of my Disney baby! LOL
I can only answer that you have to actually be staying at a Disney property to get the DDP. They do not offer it at Shades of Green, Dolphin, Swan, etc. I can't imagine that they would offer it at the Hilton. If your dh's discount is that great then you may be able to pay out of pocket for dining & it be a better deal than staying at WDW & doing a package.
Yeah, those are the hotels I was thinking of. I couldn't remember the rules there. I bet it IS the same. Hmmm...I guess we'll be crunching some numbers to see what the best deal is. Thanks so much for the info!
Second - Hilton is in Downtown Disney, it's actually the closest hotel to Downtown Disney. The Hilton is the only Downtown Disney resort to get Extra Magic Hours but they do NOT get
