Hi Julie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Congratulations on your grandsons’ first Disney vacation. I am sure you all will have a memorable experience!
Regarding hotels for families with kids,
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a very good alternative. The place is beautiful, offers very nice decorated rooms and family suites. They are inspired by some of our favorite animated movies: Finding Nemo, Cars, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. There you will find the largest resort pool in Walt Disney World Resort and a good Food Court, Landscape of Flavors. If you are considering a Monorail Resort, closer to Magic Kingdom Park,
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is my family’s first choice. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and dining options are excellent.
Considering your grandsons’ age range, I would visit all four Disney Theme Parks –
Magic Kingdom Park,
Epcot,
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and
Disney’s Hollywood Studios. There are many attractions, shows and entertainment for them in all parks. Save at least one full day for exploring each park, I am sure they will have an unforgettable experience! If you have time, I also suggest you take them to Disney Springs, a very special area, with many stores e good restaurants.
Hope this helps your planning. Please, come back to visit us again if you have any further questions.
Have a wonderful day!
Gina V.
