I have stayed at every resort on the property, and I absolutely love the Poly, for ALL the reasons mentioned above. My kids think Wilderness Lodge is the best, because they love riding a boat to the MK....If you are staying for a longer period of time, Old Key West is outstanding.......

easy answer for me the contempory hotel

for a little kid to see those monorails zipping through the hotel is a wide eyed expeirece any parent would enjoy

as a bonous both the contemp and the poly are both remodeling their room and a good chance of staying in a new room are looking real good as the month of august comes and goes

Definately stay at a monorail resort.

That said, the Contemporary is my favourite resort. If you can afford to stay in the tower, the view of the Magic Kingdom is SO worth it. If you can only afford to stay in a wing, it's not so worth it. Being able to walk to the MK is a plus. It's nice to walk back at the end of the day when everyone else is scrambling for a monorail, boat, or bus.

If you're looking to be immersed in a theme, stay at the Polynesian. I prefer the Contemporary to the Poly, but the Poly is definately themed well. A young child might prefer it as well. But you do have to walk outside to get to the main building and the resort is quite spaced out. A plus is being able to walk to the TTC.

I have nothing against the Caribbean Beach. In fact, it's probably my second favourite resort. But it's all bus service, which can suck, especially with a small child. The food court is amazing.

If you have the choice and it sounds like you do I would stay at one of the Deluxe resorts. Especially the one's you've mentioned. Both have the Monorail right at your doorstep. I personally would go with the Polynesian.

I vote foor the Polynesian. It's my favorite and stay there every time I go.
It has the volcano pool for the kids, but I suspect a 3 year old, would be overwhelmed. The quiet pool however is great, and pretty quiet.

It also has great transportation to and from the parks.

Have a great time!

If money were no object I would love to try out the Animal Kingdom Lodge with the savana view. You are suppose to be able to see the animals coming back from a long hard days work. Next in line would be the Contemporary and a Chef Mickey character breakfast!!

My girlfriend an I really want to do a Savannah View room at AKL or a stay at the Poly... thanks to budgetary restraints, however, we will likely end up at Pop Century
