Hi-
We are doing our first Disney World trip with kids (have done DL before) and just booked for Boardwalk in late January.
Originally we were planning to do POFQ but when we realized we'd have to do lots of folding/unfolding our double stroller, opted to go with Boardwalk (for walkability) or Wildnerness Lodge (for boat transport). We ended up with Boardwalk because it was slightly cheaper though I was fine with the price of both but I'm wondering if there's anything "special" for little ones to make it magical at Boardwalk?
With Wildnerness Lodge we were hoping for the Snow White character meal to be going by then, and there were all the perks of being able to walk to Fort Wildnerness, HoopDeeDoo, Chip n Dale campfire, the stables, etc that I think our kids would've loved.
For reference, our kids will be 4, 2, and 1. Staying in one room is not an issue at all (they're fine with regular beds, don't need bed rails, can share a bed though we'll probably try to get a crib/pack n play for the 1 year old). We'll likely be on the Rope Drop/back to resort for afternoon/dinner in Epcot (or resort area) schedule. Won't be staying out particularly late minus 1 or 2 nights for fireworks.
I guess I'm questioning if Wildnerness Lodge (or cheaper yet, a cabin at Ford Wildnerness) would've been more ideal for our kids ages. Can anyone reassure me on why you love Boardwalk with kids?
