Choosing where to stay at Disney World isn’t always about which resort has the best theme or prettiest room. When you’re doing Disney World with a toddler and a baby, sometimes it’s the little things that make a BIG difference!
We’re staying in a 1-bedroom villa at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort this week with our 2-year-old and 10-month-old grandbabies, and I’m really appreciating some of the features that make this such a great Disney resort for families with little kids.
🏡 A full kitchen — when little ones wake up hungry, breakfast can happen NOW instead of getting everyone dressed and out the door first.
🧺 A washer & dryer right in the villa — VERY appreciated when doing Disney with a baby. I’ll just say…blowouts happen. 😂
👟 A small foyer — something I never would have thought much about before this trip, but it has become the perfect stroller parking/shoe/bag drop zone. All the “stuff” that comes with taking little kids to Disney has a place to land without taking over our living space.
🛏️ Separate bedroom and living areas — having extra space is wonderful when little ones need to sleep and everyone else isn’t quite ready for bed.
We’re also staying in the Grandstand section of Saratoga Springs, which is my favorite location at the resort. We have a smaller pool and splash area nearby, plus Grandstand is the first bus stop.
It’s exactly why I don’t think there’s ONE “best” Disney World resort.
There’s a best Disney resort for YOUR family, your priorities and the way you travel.
And those are the things I’m looking at when I help my clients decide where to stay at Disney World—not just the price and the pictures online, but how that resort and room are actually going to work for their family.
