HHI or DVB w/ Little kids

[severtlaw]

Hi, I need assistance in planning our next vacation this spring. I have 2 children 5 and 3 and we have been to WDW 8 times since the 5 year old was born. ISn't DVC great Anyway we were thinking of one of the Beach Resorts but need some help. We have never vacationed like this and I want to make sure it is enjoyable for 2 kids who can't swim by themselves yet.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

Both resorts have great recreation programs, with many things for the kids to do.

You might want to call both resorts and have them send or fax you an activity schedule so that you can get an idea of the types of programs offered.

You also might want to call MS to make sure that the resorts are available at the time you are considering. Spring is definitely high season at VB, but HH can also be difficult to book during spring breaks.

We have not been to VB but my 5 year old twin boys LOVED HH this summer! They had so many great activities for kids. They loved the beach, the pools, the campfires, the dolphin cruise, etc. We had a wonderful vacation and they keep asking when we are going back.

(They still do the Cheeky - Cheeky dance)

You didn't mention if you are driving or flying, and from where. Both resorts are 1st class. At HH the ocean is about a 3-5 minute drive away from the resort. At VB you don't have to leave the resort.(everything is right there.....restraunts,pool,ocean,putt-putt,etc)
The pool at VB IMO is better for younger kids.
