It looks like Hilton Lake Buena Vista resort no longer offers Extra Magic Hours. Is there an alternate resort (not Disney) offering Extra Magic Hours?

The Hilton, Swan, Dolphin, and Shades of Green were the only ones that offered EMH that are not Disney owned and Hilton now does not offer that anymore. The only places now that are now still offering it is the Swan And Dolphin, and Shades of Green.

http://disneyspringshotels.com/hotels/doubletree-suites-by-hilton/The Hilton was the only one (besides Swan and Dolphin) of which now does not offer that anymore. The only places are now still offering it is the Swan And Dolphin.
Scroll down and it says this: and is the only of the 7 DS hotels that has this written in their benefits,
- Official Walt Disney World® Hotel benefits for guests
So either they do offer or it's pretty darn deceiving. lol

Doubletree never offered them only The Hilton did. They do not get EMH I am certain of this and if you notice it does not tell you what they are specifically. lol.
Here is a link of the most up to date info of which hotels currently offer EMH.

Yep correct they had put notice on their website of the change last year.
They had them but Doubletree did not ever have them like I was mentioning.

Swan and Dolphin do, along with regular Disney bus transport. Not sure the others have the latter (shuttles maybe?).

BTW, I've stayed at the Best Western DS and it's a nice hotel but no EMH and no Magic Bands. Hilton was the only one that did and that ended this month. It's Disney resorts and Swan and Dolphin.

Whatever, then they need to change their website. Because it states separately on the same page about the bus service etc, and also has the part I cut and pasted from their page. I could honestly care less because I don't stay anywhere that's not a Disney resort, I was just trying to help the OP.

Why not stay at a value resort and not worry about EMH outside of disney properties?

It is a bit misleading, I agree, but none of their information says anything about offering EMH. Their official benefits page only mentions things like booking rounds at the golf courses, a complimentary bus and buying tickets at the front desk. But nothing about EMH. So yes, Official Walt Disney World benefits statement is a bit misleading but, to the OP, you won't find EMH available at Doubletree.

The link provided goes to the Doubletree. If you switch the hotel to the regular Hilton, it still lists EMH as a benefit, which seems to be incorrect as of a month ago (unless something changes and they decided to continue to offer it)

Don't see how that changes the discussion. The discussion was about whether Doubletree has EMH and it doesn't and never did.
I just checked the Hilton Lake Buena Vista site. There is nothing there about EMH. You may need to refresh your browser cache.

The OP started out mentioning how Hilton had it, and now doesn't.
Then someone linked to the Doubletree and said that "Official Walt Disney World hotel benefits for guests" implied EMH benefits.
Getting back to the Hilton, their page does say they still offer EMH.
http://disneyspringshotels.com/hotels/hilton/
which says "Enjoy complimentary transportation to and from Disney Theme Parks, and experience extra magic with Disney’s Extended Theme Park Hours benefit, providing longer hours for fun on select days and nights at the Disney Theme Parks."

Here @Rob562 this may help to go with the Hilton part of the discussion. It's the link to the website for Hilton and does state they were to end on 12/31/15.
