[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically it comes down to

A) Plenty of space (multiple rooms or large suite)

B) Location (resort is walking distance to parks like Contemporary/Magic Kingdom or Beach Club/Epcot OR has awesome views like the Savanna at Animal Kingdom)

C) Reasonable price (less than $1000/night)

OP gets to pick 2.
She has to decide which two are most important for HER family.  That might not be what is most important to other posters' families.[/quote]

Love this!  So true.[/quote]

I am amazed people spend $1000 a night just for hotel for Disney.  You can easily get a decent hotel room for $125-200, if not less.  Once she goes, she'll realize it is so spread out that you still need transportation and basing your hotel off the theme park transportation is not worthwhile.[/quote]

The thing about the Disney hotels though, is that the ones with the park walkabilty/monorail, etc. also have other desirable amenities not found at the moderate and value hotels.   Things like multiple on site restuarants, indoor hallways (instead of the motel-like set up with outdoor walkways), fitness centers, etc.
I agree though that I can't spend that much per night on a room![/quote]

Not all the deluxe hotels cost as much as the contemporary. Check out the Wilderness Lodge.  That is very close to the Magic Kingdom and SO much cheaper![/quote]

Right, but it's not walking distance-you have to take a boat.  And right now it's undergoing some MAJOR construction.  I'm not sure if it still will be this summer when OP wants to go.[/quote]

Just stayed there and it is barely under construction.  Thy are building villas on the water.  I stayed facing the conference structure and it was not a problem at all even with a napping toddler.  The boats come constantly even in the off season and was a great location.  It's almost as good as being at the contemporary but a better theme and sooo much cheaper.[/quote]
