Initially I was quite certain that we would stay at a Disney resort but the lack of the proximity to the parks is making me think twice. Aside from theming, a major reason for staying 'on-site' would be ease of access to our hotel. I guess the flip-side would be that it is more appealing to take a break at a 'nicer' resort. My boys are 7 and 11 and the younger one is apt to complain about long walks.
