We have a newborn coming this year, making us a family of five. For our hopeful upcoming trip next year, it should be no problem to stay at Port Orleans Riverside as initially planned (before we found out we have another baby coming). But when the baby gets to be 2 or 3 years old and we become limited on what kind of rooms we can stay in as a family of 5, we may have to look at staying off property. One of the first options to think of would be those hotels right across the street from Downtown Disney. I know there is a Best Western, but can someone refresh my memory what other hotels there are in that area?
How does their shuttle service work? Is it constant running, like the WDW busses? Or is it where you pretty much have to be at the bus stop at one designated time or you ain't getting a ride back? This would be an important consideration as I would hate to feel like I am saving money to stay in a hotel just to have to fork out a good chunk of it in parking costs.
What if I don't want to take the shuttle and want to go to Downtown Disney and take their busses? I guess we could get in the van and drive to DTD, but are any of them close enough to just walk across the street and get to DTD from the hotel?
