We stayed at the Contemporary in the North Garden wing and we loved it!! The side exit of North is maybe 30 seconds from the side entrance into the Food & Fun center. This was terrific for getting coffee/soda refills and the kids could walk over w/o us. I'm always surprised when I read reports of people that hate the Cont decor and think it's tacky. I think it's nearly perfect!
We stayed at the Polynesian over Christmas and while it is gorgeous, we all missed the Contemporary. Perhaps we're just weird, lol. Our plan was walk to MK in the am (10 minutes tops) and then monorail back as the Cont is the first stop on the monorail loop.
Considering you're a family of three, you can stay in any of the resorts. With a 5 yr old, I'd lean toward the MK resorts, specifically the Cont or Wilderness Lodge. If your 5 yr old is enthralled with animals, another terrific choice would be the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
