Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2257078, member: 874"] I'm not necessarily an expert, but my parents have been seasonal employees for Disney for over 10 years. The Disney Specialist must assume you have deep pockets. Those are some of the most expensive resorts. The allstar resorts are probably better suited for kids and would certainly be the least expensive. Art of Animation and Pop Century are also very kid oriented and a little more expensive but still considered "value" resorts. Priced just a bit below the the three you have above, I also really like Animal Kingdom Lodge where the animals come right up to the back of the resort and Wilderness lodge has my favorite pool with a cool waterfall feature. I'm not sure what the price difference is for full packages but park admissions and meal plans would probably be the same, regardless of resort. One way to save a little money is to plan to spend a day or two at the resort. Depending on the age of the kids, spending all day at the parks can be exhausting, and taking one day to hang around the pool at the resort can be a nice break. Regardless of where they stay, make sure they go online and reserve their fast passes in advance. January tends to be one of the quieter times of year after Christmas and before spring break season, but with all of the events like the Marathons and sporting events they schedule, it's busier than it was 10 years ago. The newest and most popular rides can have a really long standby wait. You can probably find lots of online suggestions about which rides/shows to use fast passes on and which would be a waste. Here's a list of the resorts. It looks like they put them in order of price.

A day off in the middle would probably be a good idea with a 5 and 7 year old. Edit #2: If they fly into Orlando International and don't plan on leaving Disney property, they won't have to rent a car. Disney has shuttle service where you don't even have to pick up your bags at the airport. Disney will get them and take them straight to your room. [/QUOTE]
