You may want to consider the three hotels that make up Marriott Village at Lake Bryan in the Lake Buena Vista Area. There is a Fairfield, Courtyard and Springhill Suites in a gated "village" atmosphere. These are relatively new hotels - so the Fairfield has indoor corridors. You can pool hop, there is a food court, convenience store, arcade and a shuttle to WDW. I was impressed by how well the entire area is kept. The village is also within walking distance to a Bahama Breeze, Golden Corral and another restaurant whose names escapes me. Also very easy drive to WDW and Universal. As noted in another thread, however, beware the resort fees that have gone up to $7.50 since our early July visit.
