[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who gave the Contemporary prices here.

OP, did you have a specific budget in mind for your resort? Maybe if you told us your price point, we can suggest resorts that will work for you, and also help ease your mind about the transportation to/from the parks with that resort. :)

I have stayed at all of the moderates and most of the Deluxe resorts, and never really felt like transportation to the parks was a major inconvenience with any of them.   The only place I felt was a pain to get to/from is Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney.)

Thanks, PP (OP here). I don't have a budget yet. I am starting from scratch and don't know if this is a $4,000 vacation, a $10,000 vacation, a two-day vacation, or a six day vacation (with ample time to relax). I definitely can't afford $1,000/night. That I know for sure. One of the reasons I've posted here is I don't know who to ask. My friends haven't done Disney and our family is newish to the area, so i can't yet grab one of my kids' classmates' moms and ask them 1,000 questions including budget. [/quote]

A Savannah view room at Animal Kingdom lodge is $475/night for that time frame...so OP, I think if you really want two rooms, you are going to be close to that $1000/night mark at any of the Deluxe hotels.  
Even two rooms at a moderate will likely run $500 ish/night
The family suites at the "Art of Animation" resort are $365/night--there is a Queen bed in the bedroom, and then various chairs/tables/etc. convert into beds in the living room.   There are also two bathrooms, which is really convenient.[/quote]

I did a lot of research on Savannah rooms and came to the conclusion they aren't worth it.  You can't guarantee you will see any animals and you may not even be in the hotel to see them when they are there. Use touringplans.com to see views from all rooms so you can request the room you want.  I did that last month and got a standard view room at the Wilderness Lodge that I could still see Magic Kingdom fireworks![/quote]
