Hey Jennifer!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Mom Panel!
It sounds like you are planning a wonderful trip. May is a great time of year to visit Walt Disney World. The
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is not to be missed.
I would suggest
Disney's Beach Club resort as a fabulous place to stay for you and your family. It is located within a five minute walk of Epcot's International gateway entrance which will dramatically cut your travel time to that park. It also has one of the most splashtastic pools on Walt Disney World property called
Stormalong Bay. It features a 230 foot water slide into a sand bottom pool.
For dining options, not only are there some great restaurants at the Beach Club including
Beach & Cream Soda Shop which is the home of the world famous
'Kitchen Sink' ice cream concoction, it is also a stones throw away from the
Boardwalk area which has several more restaurants.
I hope this helps your planning. If you have any other questions please come back and see me.
Wishing you a magical vacation and a pixie-dusted day.
