Ok, so this is my third post about figuring out our resort for a late October trip to Disney. Can you tell I am indecisive? We are a family our 4-2 kids ages 3 and 6. When we were first booking we wanted WL with the free dining promotion, but by the time I decided to go with it there were no rooms left. So we ended up at AKL.
Well, now there are more rooms available under the promotion at WL for our dates. However, I am not sure about switching now. Both a Disney phone agent and another reliable source have indicated to me most likely we will have Magic Bands and Fast Pass+ at AKL. Chances are less likely at WL for this. What appeals to me about WL is the proximity to Magic Kingdom. We plan to spend more time there than the other parks (1.5-2 days at MK, 1-1.5 days at AK, and 1 day HS) plus will be going for MNSSHP. So with little ones it would be great to be close there, especially in the evening. BUT, Fast Pass+ could also make a huge difference for us in touring with little ones so that is starting to make me think we should just stay at AKL.
In looking at travel time, I am thinking that AKL is really only an extra 10 minutes or so compared to WL maybe? Is that worth it to possibly lose out on being able to do Fast Pass+?
What would you do in my situation? I am so torn again!
