re: Walt Disney World Questions for Disney Pros

People always go to those two extremes...

"Bringing a small child in the middle of summer is hell"

"Do you never vacation with a small child?"

And as always, reality is somewhere in the middle and is strongly based on expectations and desires.

We brought a 1 yo last january. But it was a trip for us. We were running the races and spent a few days afterward. We go fairly often and haven't felt the need to do everything in every park in a single day. We brought family (parents and grandparents) who helped with the kid. And even had one day where we got a sitter so we could take one of the tours that doesn't allow people under 16.

Our next trip will be next November. He'll be 3 and, again, we're bring family (cousin, his wife and daughter). We'll be staying at Bay Lake Tower which is going to be great for mid-day break at Magic Kingdom.

I hate summer in Disney. Too hot for me.

ETA: But to the OP, Port Orleans (Riverside or FQ) is much better overall than CB. Smaller, quieter, better food choices. Neither has a leg up location wise since they're both EPCOT area resorts.
