Please help me decide!

We are going to Disney end of Feb. Its me, DH, 3 year old and an almost 1 year old.

DH does NOT want to stay at either POR. We loved them, but not so much the sharing busses.

We would love to stay at CBR, but we are both a little nervous about how loud & obstructing the construction will be. We have stayed here many times and would hate to have a bad time here. A plus would be, though, that due to construction the vacancy rate might be a little higher - less wait for busses, in the OPR, etc.

Then there's CSR. We stayed there the last time we were in WDW. It wasn't bad, but not a fave. Too big, too stuffy, didn't care for Pepper Market. I got a horrible skin rash from the bedding (never has happened anywhere else).

So, its between CSR which we aren't too fond of, but won't have construction, or CBR which we love, but might be loud and ugly.

Swimming isn't an issue for us - the kids aren't fans!


What would you do???
 
Boy, If only you could spend a little Extra and move up to a
Deluxe like WL because with your children so young you would be close
to MK. Just an Idea!!
You should price compare and see if it is do-able.
 
Never heard the CSR described as stuffy...to me the GF is stuffy. In any event, with your children so young, why don't you see if you can get a special rate at one of the monorail resorts?
 

Personally, we prefer the values over the mods. Why not stay at the ASMovies in your 3 yr olds favorite characture's wing? You can use the extra money to rent a car and avoid the busses altogether.

ITA. I own DVC and have stayed at the deluxes many many time usually concierge. I stayed at ASMO Toy Story b/c it is a fav movie of the boys. They loved it (and so did we) It was adorable. We felt like we were right in the movie. The buses worked great but you may want to rent a car if the buses are a huge issue.

Alternately, I would recommend the Poly. Its on the monorail line so its really convenient to roll the stroller right onto the monorail. Its close to the MK where you'll probably be spending the bulk of your time.
 
It sounds like you don't really care... For about the same money why don't you stay at the Wyndham Palace or the Swan/Dolphin? You'll get a much nicer room and still be on-property. The rooms might even be bigger for some extra space with your 2 kids. Don't quote me on that though.
 
I would upgrade to a wing room at the Contemporary. THe convenience of being back in your room within minutes is worth every penny with small kids.
