Hello, Jill,
October is such a fun time to visit Walt Disney World as the summer heat is slipping away, and guests have the added bonus of
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (requires an additional ticket) and the
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.
You do have a couple of deluxe resort options that meet your criteria. The first is the
Polynesian Resort, which is a Magic Kingdom resort. It has, in my sons' opinion, the best childcare center: the
Neverland Club. It is themed around Peter Pan's Neverland; in fact, children arrive at the center by going through the Darling Family bedroom window just like in the story. As parents, we liked all the nearby fine dining options at the four Magic Kingdom resorts. If we needed to return unexpectedly, we knew we could do it quickly.
Another option is the
Beach Club Resort, which is an Epcot resort. It has an incredible pool recreation area with its sand bottom pool, lazy river, sand bar, and more. It is also located right next to Epcot, so you can walk directly to this park. The child care here is the
Sandcastle Club.
Wishing you a magical trip; please let us know if you have any further questions as you continue to plan your trip.
