OK we have never stayed on site except 1 night at Dolphin and 1 night at the Boardwalk. That was in 06 so thats quite some time ago and i know things have changed much since then. No flat screens back then or wifi.
Anyway we love MK and Epcot those are the parks we spend the most time in usually 3 days in MK and 2 or 2.5 in Epcot.
So after tons of research i liked contemporary, POLy, Boardwalk, beach, yacht and swan or dolphin. However after seeing picts and video of Contemporay it just seems BLAH. Other then being on disney and having the monorail run through it i dont see allot of theming and the pool looks like any resort hotel. Infact its worse there are some really cool pools in orlando with lazy rivers and more.
So then i thought poly for connivence to MK and to epcot but i read lots of reviews about in off times it is horrible because the monorails tend to not be working and then it takes forever to get around. So i thought epcot resorts because you can walk to boardwalk, and Epcot and short boat to HS.
But so many reviews saying the beach and yacht need updating badly.
There will be 2 adults a 10.5 yr old and a 5.5 yr old and we are thinking of going either in early NOV before thankgiving or waiting till JAN to go. SO if its to cold those times then stormalong bay i assume is not heated so wouldnt be a need for a cool pool then.
First preferences for me.
1. Comfy bed which is why i like the swan and dolphin because i know there beds are the best next to a memory foam bed (what we have at home)
2. location and quick transportation because the one thing we have never done is take a break in the middle of the day and go back. Because when your off site at least for us it seems like a chor to go back and park again and catch a tram and all this.
3. Room size. When we are in the room its nice to be able to spread a little and not be on top of each other like at the values or moderates. (no personal experience but from what i have read and seen in room size).
4. We tend to not eat on site allot but since none of the hotels serve like a continental breakfast and you dont have kitchen to cook. It would be nice to have a place to catch breakfast before playing all day. Maybe you have a suggestion if the hotel doesnt have such thing as to what some of you guys do.
Ok sorry for the book but really trying to explain so i get the best answers for what im looking for.
Thanks
