ever!! So which one would you recommend? We are a family so nothing too fancy. There are four of us and we will be driving in. We will be staying for five days.


Edited to say- please dont give me a huge list. I could do that on my own. This is just ONE. If you could recommend just ONE family friendly hotel for our first trip of many.

Most people would reccomend the value resorts. They're all laid out the same so just pick a theme- Movies Sports Music or Pop Century. Personaly since you will have a smaller one in tow I would go with at least a moderate for more room, Port Orleans would be my pick. But since it's your first trip and you'll have a stroller, my hands down reccomendation if you can afford it would be a deluxe monorail resort. You said you moved to FL and are only 2 hours away from WDW so you have plenty of time to try the other resorts when you have less 'baggage'. The Contemporary is the cheapest monorail resort and is undergoing room renovation right now but was fab prior to imo. It is the least 'themed' according to most people, or rather, was, because the new rooms look amazing! So if you can afford it this trip, that's my pick. As an aside, my families personal favorite resort is Fort Wilderness and we stay in the cabins.

:-) Yes, for this trip. The others are options for future trips. But I also wanted to give you our families favorite. When do you think you're going?
