Holiday Inn in the Walt Disney
World Resort
Along
Hotel Plaza Boulevard, you will find the Downtown Disney hotels
and among them, the Holiday Inn in the Walt Disney World Resort.
Although
the Holiday
Inn is
not Disney-owned, it is nonetheless an official Walt Disney
World® resort hotel and can therefore
offer some of the amenities that guests of the Walt Disney World
Resorts enjoy.
The Holiday
Inn
is a 14-story high tower flanked by a 6-story garden wing. Inside
of the beige stucco exterior, a magnificent view of the atrium can
be seen from one of the two glass elevators in the center of the
hotel. Also visible from the elevators, a garden paradise, tranquil
fountain, bright cabana-covered lounge and outdoors seating area
topped with gaily, colored umbrellas, provides an invitation to
kick back and relax.
Guests of the Holiday
Inn
will receive a Downtown Disney Value Discount Passport. This passport
will allow them to use the Disney transportation system and gives
discounts to some restaurants and attractions in the area.
Guests of the Holiday
Inn
will enjoy complimentary transportation to all 4 Walt Disney
World theme parks, 2 of the 2 water parks (Typhoon Lagoon
and Blizzard Beach) and Pleasure Island. Pick-ups for the Theme
Parks are scheduled every 30 minutes from 1 hour prior to park
opening until 2 hours after the parks close. Buses to the Magic
Kingdom will drop guests off at the Ticket & Transportation Center and
you can ride Disney's fun monorail system in the rest of the way
to the Magic Kingdom. For transportation to the water parks, check
with the Guest Services desk for the scheduled morning and afternoon
pick-ups. Pleasure Island bus transportation is offered every 30
minutes from 6 p.m. until 3 a.m. Downtown Disney Marketplace and
Downtown Disney West Side are only a 5-10 minute walk.

 Large
checkered tiles surround the pool area, which includes 2 adult pools
