I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown Disney, and the price was right. The service was very good, pool was OK, and we liked the free shuttle to the parks so we had no car rental, BUT there is nothing better, imo, than staying at a Disney resort. I've heard FQPO is very nice, we've only stayed at Animal Kingdom (with my own kids) and Polynesian (when I was kid). I am interested in also trying the mid priced Disney resort hotels. I think most of the downtown Disney hotels lack a little something. They all look kind of beige and older from the street.
