On the Pax website it lists the Hilton Doubletree as one of the shuttle locations:
But when I downloaded the Pax guidebook app and looked at the Doubletree shuttle schedule from there, it says to go to the Courtyard Merriott for the shuttle pick up:
So does the shuttle stop in front of the Doubletree or not? It's not very clear to me.
Verifying what is correct, I'll update this post when I've got it locked down.

If its the same as last year, which I'm sure it is, the shuttle does not stop AT the Doubletree's doors. You need to walk across a parking lot for the YMCA next to the hotel and cross the street to the Marriott. It is not even more than a 2 minute walk.

I highly recommend, if the kids in your care are doing their own thing and you have downtime, to check out the tabletop booths. The representatives will run sessions aimed at explaining everything about their games, and it's one of the best ways to get a great introduction into new material.

not sure about the details on that particular stop, but the schedule pdf here says that during certain parts of the day the SL departs at specified times, and during other parts of the day it runs at intervals of anywhere from 4 mins to 20 mins.

Are the boys going to be interested in seeing Gabe and Tycho, or attending any panels? They might enjoy seeing the closing ceremony and the last round of the attendee competition called the Omegathon - it's usually a very good show, but there'll be a line ahead of time most likely.
Agree you should spend some time checking out tabletop games- there are also usually some vendors in the Expo hall that have a few board games to play in there.

I'm not sure on a location yet.Outside the Handheld Lounge. See MSPAF for more details.Theres one northwest of it next to the south station red line stop.

The world map is in the guidebook. That's where it is. There's a web version of the PAX East 2012 guidebook guide linked in the mobile app thread.

There is no way to know whether or not control schemes are changeable for a given demo until you're there. You'll have to ask at each booth if it's the kind of thing that will prevent you from standing in a line.
