[quote=Anonymous]You have picked the most expensive resort in all of Walt Disney World, and a two-bedroom suite...   Yes, that is going to be extravagantly expensive and you can do it smarter.

1.  There is no need to be on the monorail.  All of the Disney resorts connect to the parks by bus and/or boat, and these work great.  For that matter, driving yourself through the World is easy too, though you do have to pay ten bucks to park.

2.  The two-bedroom suite is what is killing you on price.  Several of the deluxe resorts have "villas," which are condo style.  E.g., Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk, Animal Kingdom.  Consider a two-bedroom villa, I'm sure it would be way cheaper.  Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom are less expensive than the other Deluxe Resorts.  I would try Wilderness Lodge - you can take a short boat ride to the Magic Kingdom, plus it apparently has one of the best pools in Disney.

3.  You absolutely do not need park hopper tickets.  One park a day is all you will have energy for, especially with young kids on a first visit.  Get the regular Magic Your Way tickets instead.

4.  Another hotel option is the Swan and Dolphin hotels, near the Boardwalk and Epcot.  They are run by Starwood, but use the Disney boats and buses.  I stayed at the Dolphin last March with my family and it was great.  Are you a Starwood Preferred Guest?   If so, you can use points and save thousands of dollars.

Good luck OP.  We had a wonderful time with our two-year old, but I also felt like I got a great value because I was able to use points for the hotel, and we didn't mind sharing one room.  Disney is a wonderful, well-run place for kids of all ages.  I am looking forward to my family's next visit.[/quote]
