Ok, WL vs CR Tower vs Boardwalk Std

[LadyTrampScamp&Angel]

I just can't make up my mind!

I'm looking at the Wilderness Lodge, either Woods or Courtyard view, a tower room at the Contemporary, or a standard view room at the Boardwalk Inn. The price difference between the high end (CR Tower) and low end (WL, woods) of these rooms is about $770.

We are a family of four, DH and I, DS - 9 yrs and DD - 5 yrs. I've stayed at WL in a woods view room before, haven't stayed at the other two. Rest of family hasn't been to any of these. I like that WL has a kid's club on site, the Contemporary is so convenient to the MK, and that the Food and Wine festival will be at EPCOT during our stay (late Oct 2005) - so the BWI would be nice for that.

I'm driving myself crazy. I'd love to hear what you/your family prefers out of these and why. Any insights, pros, cons would be appreciated.

Thanks so much

We prefer the convenience of the Contemporary (although we don't often stay in the Tower). Of course, we have a 2 year old DS, so the convenience to MK is huge. And you can't overstate the value of being able to wheel your stroller onto the monorail when your child is exhausted (or asleep, for that matter).

For YOUR kids, the arcade at CR is best on property, Chef Mickey's is right there, everyone loves the monorail, etc., etc.

So one vote for CR!!

I vote for the WL. The boat ride to MK and the Contemporary is great. Kids love the pool and the bunk beds and the extra money in your pocket is always a plus!

Uncle Donald - do you usually stay in the wings? How do you like them? They are a lot less $$$ than the tower so it would bring it more in line with the other two. I'm sure the convenience would be great there

rileyroosmom - I hear you about the extra $$$ and it is a beautiful resort.

I'm seriously considering writing all our choices pieces of paper, putting them in a bowl and going with whichever one we pull out! It's too hard to choose!

If $$ wasn't an object I'd go for the Tower! Great arcade there and a fun atmosphere. Great views.

Second would be WL. Woods view can still get you a MK view! Our kids love it, there.

No idea on BWI.
