Hi Kim,
I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy watching our YouTube videos!
You are not the only one who has trouble deciding which Disney Resort hotel to stay at during your next visit to Walt Disney World. I always have real difficulty in deciding as there are so many fabulous places to choose from - it is an ambition of mine to stay at them all.
That said, my family have just recently returned from a 7-night stay at
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort and I can honestly say that it is my favourite out of all the Disney Resort hotels we have experienced so far. As you are wanting to be close to the Magic Kingdom Theme Park this would work out great for you as it is only a 5 minute boat ride away. It is also fantastic choice as far as value for money goes as it is usually the least expensive out of the Magic Kingdom Area Resort hotels due to the fact that it is not on the monorail loop.
Disney's Yacht Club Resort / Disney's Beach Club Resort would be my second recommendation and this in actual fact is where my family will be staying during our next visit. Both hotels are absolutely beautiful and boast (in my opinion) the best themed pool - Stormalong Bay on all Walt Disney World property. Both hotels also have great transportation links with a walkway and boats running to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot being just a short stroll away.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
