Respectfully - as a veteran of over half a dozen visits to WDW over the past 40 years - as a child and adult with children, dragging toddlers around the resort sounds like my idea of hell - particularly on:

To be fair, you're asking for specific advice about particular resorts, and I can't speak to those, beyond the fact that Disney does the hospitality business well. Even the budget resorts are done well - although they are crowded and the rooms are quite small.

We stay at Shades of Green. If I deviated from that, it would be to either the Polynesian or the Floridian. With Toddlers - and a focus on the Magic Kingdom, I would probably go to the Contemporary (our first stay was there and that was incredibly convenient - well worth the premium).

I think 4 years old is the minimum age for them to have any specific memories of the visit.

I wouldn't do Caribbean Beach hauling kids around that are that young. The hotel is enormous and spread out, which means lots of walking to get on and off busses that will most assuredly be crammed.

ent July 3-6 and absolutely had a blast! We are looking to schedule another visit November 1-6. Our TA has narrowed it down to two resorts, Caribbean Beach and French Quarter. We stayed last time at French Quarter and it was awesome. Does anyone here have any experience with Caribbean Beach? Pros/cons?

I liked Caribbean Beach.

the key is to learn the bus route to/from the parks to know where to get on and off at.

It's a big resort so there are alot of bus stops, but for example we stayed in Aruba. When we took the bus back to the resort we always got out at Old Port Royale and just walked back to our room through the pool area and across the bridge rather than sitting through numbers other stops.

Stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge last New Years. Awesome place, my three year old loved having the animals right outside the balcony. Biggest problem with that place is that it's so inconvenient to every park except Animal Kingdom. Going back in January and staying at Art of Animation. I'm a little worried about staying at a value, but we really aren't ever in the room.

Your kids are too young for Disney. They won't remember the trips. Stay at the grand Floridian. Don't make excuses.
