    What are the ages of your children?

    We were there a few years ago - stayed in a vllla in Kissimee. With teenage kids, that worked well: we liked catering for ourselves for breakfast, enjoyed a trip round the supermarket, didnt mind a drive in the car each day to a different theme park, loved having a pool in the villa, and a room each. For younger kids, some of those might have been a factor.

    I've only stayed in the actual Disney hotels. A few of them, in fact. I think all are going to be great for kids if you pick one, but my personal favourite is Coronado Springs.

    I used to work at WDW!

    If you have younger kids, probably 10 and under, the All-Star resorts are good. They're the lowest price range, and they are bright and colorful with themes from various movies, sports, and movies. My favorite is All-Star Sports (where my hotel was sandwiched between a giant shark fin and a giant surf board ... my money was on the shark) and All-Star Movies. I think they just added a Pixar/Toy Story section. Great for kids =) The location of the All-Stars are nearest to Animal Kingdom. Are you looking to be near to a specific park? Busses go from each resort to each park, but if you stay at any hotels on the boardwalk (which are pricier than the All-Stars), you can also walk to Epcot as well as bus there.

    Like I said, I worked at WDW, so if you have any questions, I'd love to answer! =D

    Oh, and Port Orleans Riverside is my personal favorite for when I'm staying on property. I love the scenery, and there's plenty of sidewalk areas to take long walks.
