It was definitely plenty of fun for our then 3 year old.. we're planning WDW maybe for next summer.. that or Egypt or Europe.. Maui/BI next spring break when my oldest is on Spring Break. IMHO.. everyone in my sons class pretty much been to WDL, WDW, Disney Cruises.. even last spring break there was 3 families just in my sons class that went to Disney.

Looks like you're getting excited.. something must be bringing Mary2e back to WDW 50 times.. I gather she must be really excited too. I'm green to Disney, 5 times between WDW and WDL.. but definitely looking forward for my next time out.

Regarding Villas at Contemporary Tower.. I would try isolating some dates.. sometimes there is one or two days that completely block out entire reservations I find. For example, we rented Fort Wilderness Cabins, and it was sold out that 1st day.. I was able to salvage a 9 night stay, getting around that first night.. I booked the 8 nights, and added the last night when there was a cancellation. IMO.. you'll be too busy on the resort to really care much about the room too much. That's why we did Fort Wilderness, because it was $240 per night.. we slept and went to the parks 12 hours at a time.. didn't even have time to use the pool once at Fort Wilderness.. that's because you'll be so immersed in so much to do, that you won't have time to plan or think. Reserve the good restaurants ahead of time if you're on the Disney Dining Plan.. Ohana's is pretty much 90 days ahead, Le Cellier 90 days ahead, Chef Mickeys' at Contemporary.. good luck.. Magic Kingdom Castle is a bit busy, photo ops with princesses.. Princess Akershus at Norway Pavilion.. we also did 1900 Park Fare for supper.. hard to book during the end of summer season. Book ahead, get free family picture and photo opps with the Princesses.

I've got a home automation system (Control 4/Rhapsody) that brings up all of the Disney songs, albums, etc.. Pretty can play throughout house, one room, any and all combinations.. through TVs, speakers.. totally immersive experience. Otherwise we would have to go more often to Disney.. hard to do as we live in Canada.

Edit: We pre-ordered groceries and had it delivered to the cabin last time out. Garden Grocers I think will do a free delivery if the order is over $200 (don't quote me on this). The cabins were perfect as it sleeps six, has a kitchen, and lots of room and peace.. not that we stayed in the room much.

We also went after the August 14th date last year.. low season, but still summer break.. excellent time to go to take advantage of the low season deals, during the kids summer break. We didn't even rent a vehicle.. save hundreds$$$ not having a vehicle.. WDW will transfer you to the resort no charge when you book with their Travel Company. If you plan to visit Universal, Cape Canaveral, Sea World, etc.. you'll need a vehicle. We stayed the entire 9 nights at WDW, didn't do water parks, or pool at all (just went to Maui and BI for 22 nights.. and everyday we were in the pool).. there is that much to do in Disney World!
