    Planning on taking our first trip to Disney world with our 4 littles (6 & under) Which resort would be best if we are there to enjoy the parks for a few days but also want a couple rest days with pools and activities.

    Hi Ashley,

    Welcome to planDisney! 

    How exciting to plan a trip to the Walt Disney World® Resort with your little ones! Luckily, there are so many fantastic resort hotel options with the Disney Resorts Collection. Depending on your budget, consider these options - Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort (family suites). Review the amenities at several resort hotels and then do some comparison pricing before making a selection.

    My family loves Disney's Contemporary Resort because it is within walking distance to Magic Kingdom and has access to the Resort Monorail. With four little ones, you will appreciate a theme park being in such close proximity to the hotel. There are also excellent dining options here, including quick-service and table-service selections. We adore Chef Mickey's character dining experience! 

    I also suggest Disney's Art of Animation resort because they have family suites which can sleep up to six adults. The suites have a kitchenette area and two bathrooms. This resort is super cute and the pool is amazing! They do have quick-service dining options here and, the good news is that this resort hotel has access to the Disney Skyliner, so you can take the Skyliner to EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and a few other resort hotels. If you decide to stay here, I suggest that you make an advanced dining reservation at Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera. They have a fun character dining experience at breakfast and you can take the Skyliner to Disney's Riviera Resort!

    Ashley, remember to keep an eye on the Special Offers! I always check to see if there are any discounts available for the dates of our visits. In the meantime, continue the practically perfect planning!

    Magic and memories,
    Donyell
