[quote=Anonymous]There are so many varied opinions about how long you should go for. I don't have kids, so it's just my DH and I, so I won't opine on how many days/nights would work for you.

But we were there in October and going back in May. I very much encourage you to stay on property for the convenience and the Disney vibe. We stayed at the Polynesian (Deluxe) last October and are staying at Port Orleans, French Quarter (Moderate) this time. Disney doesn't really do stars, they do Deluxe, Moderate, and Value. But there are various benefits to various resorts in all three categories.

The great thing for us about the Poly was how very close it was to Magic Kingdom and transportation that took us to Epcot. And we only did MK and Epcot on that trip. In May we are going to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, so a resort close to MK wasn't important. We are looking forward to the romantic and quiet vibe of Port Orleans. If your kids are super into Princesses, look into the Princess rooms at Port Orleans -- those things are magical. If you want upscale hotel and upscale amenities look at the Grand Floridian, and the other Deluxe resorts such as the Polynesian and the Wilderness. But be advised -- we paid close to $900 per night for the Poly and I wouldn't call it a 4 star hotel. It's amazing in it's Disney way, but it's Disney, not NYC or Paris or something.

If you are going to go for a long time and break up your park trips with pool/resort days, look into which resorts have the best pools (although pretty much all of them are good). People rave about Stormalong Bay pool shared by the Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts. Apparently the pool at the Caribbean resort, a moderate resort, is great too.

You are going to need to do some research to find out what would work best for your kids as far as where to stay goes. [/quote]
