Hotel decision - thoughts?

[Kate Alan]

Trying to decide between a few different hotel options for our upcoming trip. We're spending two days at MK (plus doing the Halloween party one of those nights), one day each at the other parks. There are four adults traveling, and we will have a two year old with us.

We are looking at the following options, all of which would be new stays for us:
- 2 regular rooms at the Coronado
- 2 regular rooms at POR French Quarter
- a 1 bed villa at Bay Lake Tower
- a 2 bed villa at Old Key West

What would be the one you'd choose out of these options (and is there a particular reason why)?

Depends on the situation. If it were all members of my immediate family, I'd prefer us to all be together in a villa. However, if it's other adults, like just friends on a trip together, then probably having a little bit of separation and personal space would be a good thing. So that would decide two standard rooms vs. villa for me.

As for which location, if you were going with standard rooms, my preference would be French Quarter. It is just an absolutely beautiful resort and I like the small-ish atmosphere of it compared to many other resorts as well. For villas, I'd probably do Old Key West. Others may disagree because Bay Lake Tower has such a good location, but I'd rather have the extra bedroom to spread out and relax.

For me? French Quarter but that’s cause port orleans is my favorite resort (I prefer Riverside but FQ is great too - I always visit both no matter where I stay).

If you want to use a kitchen at all during your stay - the villas might make a lot more sense.

- Coronado it's OK. It's too big.
- POR French Quarter Quaint, quiet, nice, small resort. Great theming and bus service.
- Bay Lake Tower Good resort. Awesome to have walkable access to the Magic Kingdom.
- Old Key West Great themed resort. Great bus service. It is big.

Since you are spending 2 days at MK, I would suggest Bay Lake. Being able to walk to MK makes everything easier, especially with a 2 year old with a stroller I'm guessing. You can always take the monorail or boat as well. The 1 bedroom sleeps 5 and has two full bathrooms. Food options along the monorail resorts are also a benefit.
