That’s my view too. Take em to the cars show at HS to see the characters, and get the more relaxing WL resort stay for yourself. They won’t know there is such a thing as a cars suite if you don’t tell emI guess this sounds selfish, but I tend to lean towards going with what is most convenient for the parents / what the parents like best, not the kids. My kids are happy anywhere. We’ve done AoA and they love it. We’ve done WL and they love it. But I like WL better - so we go to WL.
My perspective is just different because my baby is now in college. I miss being able to do all that little kid stuff, and wowing them with things I know they'll love at Disney. Those wonder years just go way too fast.That’s my view too. Take em to the cars show at HS to see the characters, and get the more relaxing WL resort stay for yourself.

Not sure I agree there. By that logic, World Showcase, Animal Kingdom, and heck, even most of MK (e.g., Main Street, Frontierland, Adventureland) don't "scream disney" either because they emphasize a transporting immersive experience over cartoon characters. But for kids, that theming often creates just as much if not more wonder than seeing a bunch of characters everywhere they look. What "screams" disney to us is the sense of magic, not the characters--when we go to Epcot all three of our kids, they spend hours obsessed with the maze in England or the little train village in Germany--but the Nemo ride is one and done for them. When my 5 year old talks about Disney, he never talks about a ride or character experience, he tells me he wants to see the "castle hotel" (grand floridian) again, ride the monorail, and go for a swim at the "volcano pool" (at the Poly). I've shown him pictures of Wilderness Lodge since that is where we are staying next time and he is really excited about the waterfall, geyser, boat to MK, and oddly (because kids pick up on the little things) he is fascinated by the totem pole he saw in the lobby in a youtube video.
Me too! And WL rooms have balconies so parents will have a space to relax with maybe a wine or beer while the kids are sleeping.I guess this sounds selfish, but I tend to lean towards going with what is most convenient for the parents / what the parents like best, not the kids.

What do you mean? The skyliner has always been running.
It was closed for maintenance for a few days at the end of January—maybe the prior poster was there at that time? But yes, generally it is running and has been since reopening.
