Sorry for the confusion! I meant to say that the Downtown Disney hotel buses will not take take you to the Downtown Disney Marketplace area until after 6:00. This is the area located close to the hotels that has many restaurants, shopping, etc. There are many places on the internet that will list everything that is located in the Downtown Disney area. If you want to catch a bus from your hotel to take you to this Downtown Disney Marketplace area BEFORE 6 p.m., it's not going to happen. Depending which hotel you are staying at, some are close to the Marketplace area (Doubletree isn't close) and you could walk there. Buses run constantly from the Downtown Disney hotels, however, to all of the Disney parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM, Animal Kingdom and the waterparks) from an hour before park opening until about 2 hours after the park would close (I think, it probably depends on crowd levels) about every half an hour. This schedule is not closely adhered to, and it's pretty much hit or miss whether you'll be able to catch a bus to the parks on the half hour. The Doubletree was a very nice, updated hotel, it's just that the transportation is lacking due to the fact that they will stop at every hotel in the downtown Disney area (I think there are 5 or 6) and this really slows things up. They also don't have enough buses running to accomodate the crowds from all of the Downtown Disney hotels. Hope this helps!
