We've stayed in Doc Holliday and Sitting Bull both great to walk to the park from. Yes it's about 15 mins to walk, but very pleasant along the Rio Grande river and then past the Hotel New York. You then go through bag check and walk through the Disney Village. This is always a shorter wait than going through the main bag check if taking the bus.
The rooms are really nice as they are newly refurbished with usb sockets, air con and clean and comfy. The cowboy theming is very immersive and good fun.
