DH, DS (6 year old), and DD (2.5 year old), and I are going to WDW for the first time. We'll be at POFQ in December (the week before Christmas) for 4 nights, 5 days. I heard POFQ rarely gets the room-only discount but Contemporary usually gets 15%-20% discount during that time, so it would be ~$500 more to upgrade from POFQ to Contemporary. I understand that the walk to MK and monorail is only 10 minutes from Contemporary, which is a huge plus since we'll be going to MK twice and Epcot for 1 day, and the rooms are larger and nicer.
My question to you is do you think the upgrade is worth the extra $500 cost? Or should I spend it on something else (e.g., parkhopper - I hadn't opted for it because I thought that there would be enough to see in one park per day, and I wasn't sure my kids could stay up to take advantage of the EMH)? Alternatively, could upgrade to AKL standard room for $350, but I thought it was too far from the others parks so traveling on the buses would be a pain.
Thanks!
