First Visit

[lilymom]

Hi- I'm hoping someone can recommend which Resort we should consider for a visit toward the end of the year. We have a 18month old that needs to be in a separate bedroom/room for sleeping. As long as we can get to the bathroom without going through her room, it's fine. We looked at WL suites, but couldn't tell what the layout was. We also looked into the VWL - 1 bedroom. She loves the water, so we want a place that has a pool. Any help would be appreciated! I feel like such a novice here!

It may be too cold to swim late in the year.

Any of the home away from home resorts (other than a studio) would probably work for you.

Lilymom, welcome to the Dis!

If you want two rooms, Bojangles gave you excellent advice -- any of the DVC Resorts would do (as long as you stay away from the studio rooms).

You can also go the Suite route at any of the Deluxe Resorts or at the CSR (a Moderate). If you have Suite questions, you can post them here or PM me (my family has stayed in a few of the suites at the GF, AKL, and YC). The WDW suites really are lovely.

Another option for you is to consider booking two standard rooms -- make a request that they be connecting rooms when you book the reservation.

As to swimming pools, have no fear -- every WDW resort has one (or two or three or...). If you pick a WDW resort, you're going to get a pool. I should note that a lot of the resorts have kiddie pools, too -- I know the BWV, YC/BC, AKL, GF, and a few others do. Here is a photo of the kiddie pool at the AKL -- click here.

If you want to see the layout of the DVC rooms, you can go to the DVC portion of the Disney website. When you then open the pages on each resort, there is a list on the left with something like "accomodations" near the top of the list. Click on it and it will open a section that will give you a floorplan of each kind of room at each of the DVC properties. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!!

What about a FW cabin. The bedroom is in the back of the cabin & the bathroom is not connected to the bedroom. There is a separate entrance for it.

You could put her to bed & relax in the "living area" or on the outdoor deck.
