    I don't know about the best, but we've been at the Carribe Royale twice and really liked it. The kids did too. It's very close and has bussing transportation (although very slow over spring break). Oh, and the price was right!

    I dont know what the "best" is. But I had a very good experience at the Country Inn and Suites. It was very close to Disney, had a nice room with microwave and minifridge, free breakfast and a great pool area with a slide etc. I would stay there again.

    Thanks, I should have been more specific, nice pool, arcade for the teens. It will be the week of April vacation, it is $$ to stay on site?
    How busy/crowds is it during that week, we would most likely fly down the Friday before and stay until Tuesday or Wednesday?

    Buena Vista Palace is a beautiful hotel that is right across the street from DtD Marketplace... The rooms are pricey but we got a govt. discount in June and paid 100. for the night and were in a Disney view room...I really liked it and we will stay again...The view from our balcony was something...

    I recommend either Bonnet Creek Villas which are practically on property or we have also stayed in Kissimmee, just outside the gates, at Holiday Villas. The were very nice. Both of these have websites.

    Check out the sponsor AllStar, they have a number of condos, townhomes and houses in Windsor Hills. There is a community center with a large pool and arcade.

    Holiday Inn Downtown Disney. The best Big queen beds. Quiet Hotel. We stayed in August when we went and I loved it. Its on Disney property in Downtown disney so you get the disney feel, but not the other perks like free parking at the parks. But they do have shuttle buses to the parks.

    We stayed at the Marriott Royal Palms on our last trip. I was a bit nervous, because we hadn't stayed off site in several years. It was very close to the parks, was very roomy, and had a fantastic pool. (I didn't look for a game room, we were too tired at the end of the day.) We had a 2BR/2BA villa on the golf course. It was MUCH less expensive than anything Disney could offer for those amenities. Hint: Go to the Marriott website and sign up to be a Marriott Rewards member (for free). Then, go to the Marriot Royal Palms site and click on "Deals at this hotel". Because we did this, we were able to get rates for $168 per night!

    We just stayed at the Radisson Lake Buena Vista - it's literally down the street from Downtown Disney - don't need to get on I-4 at all! They have queen size beds and a pull out loveseat so there's a bit more room. You can't beat the price - we paid $59/night in August. The lobby was nice and the hotel was very clean. The pool is small though.
