[quote=Anonymous]We only went to WDW and our kids were 5 and 3. We were all about a fun pool but not TOO big since our kids are young, we didn't need a lazy river or really tall slides but we did really want at least a suite and a kitchen setup. And high floors give me the willies with the little ones... 
If you are not committed to staying on Disney property, you might check out Liki Tiki Village, about 8-9 miles west of WDW. Terrible name, but for way less $ than a hotel room we got a great 2 bedroom unit with a full kitchen and living room, screen porch, etc with parking, no valet hassles. It has a lowrise resort setting, nice landscaping, sandy playground, poolside grill, several pool areas and their kiddie pool has spray features, zero entry, 5 small waterslides and is really fun for the kids. Downside was no breakfast place onsite, only a poolside bar and grill with limited hours, but there are a ton of family restaurants along 192. 
Parking at WDW was $14 and we stayed together all day so splitting up or getting home for a break was not an issue for us. The only hotel that looked tantalizingly close (walking distance with a stroller and no lines for a boat or monorail) at the end of the day was the Contemporary.  The other hotels that are pretty close to WDW are the Polynesian, Grand Floridian and the Wilderness. We also considered the Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts and the Bonnet Creek resorts (Wyndham and Hilton) for their nice pools and may try there again.
We got reservations online for an early dinner at the Cinderella castle and brought dress-up clothes for the kids, that was definitely a highlight.[/quote]
