My two children were a little over 2 years old and 11 months old, so we definitely wanted to be close in case there were any melt downs at the park. We also have a large Bob Duallie stroller and I thought not having to fold it up to get on the parking tram would be a big plus. One nice thing about Disney hotels is they offer both pack n plays and portable cribs. My 2 year old is on the big side, so the crib was perfect for him and we used the pack n play for my youngest. The rooms were quite large and there was plenty of room for both. The bathroom was large enough for us to fit the crib in there! My oldest really needs to not see us when going to sleep, so he slept in the portable crib in the bathroom.

We booked a standard view room. I asked about any upgrades to a room where we could possibly see fireworks, but the woman checking us in said it would cost for an upgrade, so we declined. Our room had a view of the monorail which my son really enjoyed. We really weren't in the room much, so I felt the upgrade would not have been worth it.

We went down to "the beach" at the resort one night to watch Wishes. They pipe in the music that goes along with the fireworks. We found it a nice way to catch the fireworks away from the crowds and still get our little ones to bed before it was too late.
My kids ended up napping in our stroller, so we didn't need to go back to the resort for naps, but it gave me peace of mind knowing that we could. We also had our stroller loaded up with purchases, diaper bag, etc. and I know it would have been a pain to try to fold our huge stroller up. Being able to hop on the monorail was very convenient!

Would I stay there again? I would if we could find a good rate. For our same dates the Grand Floridian was a little over $500/night and the Contemporary was over $1000/night!
