Just found this hotel on hotelkingdom for 45.88 per night- they offer these two types of themes..

Enchanted Land Kids Room: Each Enchanted Land Kids Room boasts a semi-private kids area perfect for a little princess. The kids area is separated from the adult section by a partition and includes a daybed that opens to two twin size beds (also called a "Trundle Bed") and a 19" Kids TV with VCR. In the adult section there is a a Full size bed, a private bath and individual controlled climate. Other thoughtful features include a 27" remote control color TV, a direct dial dataport phone with voice mail, coffee/tea maker with complimentary coffee and tea, refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, in-room safe and a remote controlled color cable TV with VCR and free HBO, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. Free use of the video lending library and kids receive a free admission to the Adventure Club. Guests may also request a baby crib and high chair for no additional charge.


and for boys---
Stunt Action Heroes Kids Room: The magical Stunt Action Heroes Kids Room is the perfect setting to make every child feel like an action hero. Each Stunt Action Heroes Kids Room boasts a separate kids area with a daybed that opens to two twin size beds and a 19" kids TV and VCR.

HI!
Let me make a long story short... on our trip in sept... the night before we were to arrive at our vacation home, we found ourselves needing a room, fast and cheap... i got out my guide book... found this one, it sounded great!
We called, they had rooms available...etc...
I am definitely glad that we only stayed one night... the details were very over rated... the seperate kid themed area... is seperated by a half wall.... the wall has border on it, some glow in dark stars on ceiling.... etc... and if they want to watch the tv, at the same time you are... each tv volume keeps going up and up!!!
But,.... dont let this stop you.... if you dont plan on spending much time in your room... this is a great value!
OH, no elevator to second floor rooms.... a bit of a pain with a ton of luggage.... outside room entrances...
very very close to disney....
the movie choices kids can pick from, is a very small selection...
The pool and hot tub, are nice... crowded when we were there... but nice.
The kids adventure club, we never checked into.... the thing where the kids have their own check in process... seemed to be non existent.....
They did have a nice breakfast bufffet available for 6.00.... i cant remember if there was a diff price for kids or not....
but, there were eggs, sausage, gravy, pancakes, waffles.... french toast sticks, juice, coffee, cereal, fruit etc... nice variety for sucha small price.
Hope this helps... I think I may have a pic of the kids theme area... i could email it to you if you would like..

we stayed there for a night last year, and it was ok but nothing special. The staff was nice, the pool was cold, the kids room was nothing.
For that same price you can get the Amerisuites Calypso Cay, which IMO was much nicer.

If you want a real deal, and are staying a week, look into Skyauction. We have gotten 2 bedroom condos for $260 for a week.
