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.

Well, as a veteran of over 20 visits in the last 20 years with 2 kids I can say it's what you make it. If you're a miserable person in general you will have a miserable experience. With just minimal planning you can make all of the things people bitch about completely disappear.

I love this point that always gets brought up in a Disney thread. It's like people think you shouldn't leave the house with a kid until it's 4-8yrs old. "Nah honey, I don't want to take junior baby to the zoo. He's only 2. Oh the mall? Nah, Sally won't remember her first trip to the Gap." Silly.
