We stayed in the Garden Wing about a month ago and the walk was not a big deal at all! The rooms were nice, clean and was very quiet (expect for some noisy neighbors one night). We would definitely stay there again! Can't beat walking to MK from CR along with the convenience of the monorail! Only complaint, if I was being picky, about the Garden Wing is that the carpet down the hallways really needed to be replaced.
. Good luck deciding, and even though I can't offer advice from having stayed there, I think the CR will be a good fit for what you're looking for
