We're planning our first trip to WDW this December. We're going to do a five night stay at WDW prior to a 3 night DCL cruise. Our kids will be 5,3, and 8 months old at the time of our trip. We're driving down so we'll have our car.
Our first night will be at the Radisson Lake Buena Vista (using rewards points) since we'll be getting in fairly late. Nights 2 and 3 I was able to book at CR Garden Wing room with the room only discount (excited about proximity to MK and Epcot plus the monorail access) however they didn't have rooms available at CR for nights 4 and 5 or our stay. I need you help deciding where to stay these last 2 nights.
Here are some options that are available. Poly standard view (love the monorail access and theming), Wilderness Lodge Bunk room (should be pretty during Christmas and bunks would be nice), Beach Club Villas Studio or 1 bedroom (pool looks awesome but might be too cold to swim? Walking distance to Epcot?), Animal Kingdom CL with Savanna view (sounds awesome & would love watching animals but would we regret being so far out from parks?), or Fort Wilderness Cabins (would be nice to have separate bedroom/extra space but not sure about getting around to the parks with the kids?).
I know that is a lot of choices but I'm having the hardest time narrowing it down. The most important factors are ease of access to parks (not sure how big of a deal this is since we'll have our car and not completely dependent on busses etc although monorail access is definitely a plus) and theming that the kids would enjoy. Which would you choose and why?
