So for our very first trip to Disney the DH and I are driving down for a late October week long trip. We have 2 kiddos, DD is 5 and DS is 2. We are look at the AoA and Cabins at FW. Here are some of our needs/concerns:
-fell in love with the theming at AoA, feel our kids will be through the roof with the decor and pools (Ariel is a particular fav with DD)
-because they are so young, putting them to bed early and then turning in ourselves at the same time is less than desirable. We'd prefer to be able to tuck them in and then switch on the TV to unwind a bit ourselves without keeping them awake.
-prefer to have some way to prepare a quick breakfast in room or lunch if we are back at the hotel for a little siesta
-DD and I are restless sleepers and I have heard AoA can be noisy. When DD has a bad night sleep, no one will be having a "magical" time (I dont know where she gets it from )
-concerns with FW Cabins is DH thinks they look dated and dingy and really not wanting to have to rent a golf cart since we'll have our car. Keep reading you need the cart for the ease of getting around the resort to pools and dining
-the deluxe suites and villas are out of our price range
So my thought was either to:
1- spend all 6 nights at AoA in one of their suites (maybe make the last night in the LM room to surprise my DD)
2- spend 3 nights at AoA so the family can experience that great theming then jump to the cabins for the remaining 3 nights to stretch out and enjoy a quieter atmosphere
Based on all of this, can anyone offer opinions on either resort? Any comments on our concerns for the cabins and/or the noise of the AoA? Really need some help making up our minds.
