There is a Disney resort for every traveler, no matter what the age, but there are a few that really stand out as great picks for families traveling with children under 10.
The following list features the best Disney resort picks for kids, with a suggestion for every price category, so you can find the perfect Disney resort for your next vacation. With accessible rooms, impressive pools, and top notch on-site dining, these Disney resort picks can't be beat for the under 10 crowd.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge: With rustic themeing, great outdoor activities, and rollicking fun dining options, the Wilderness Lodge is a hit with kids.
Rooms are kid friendly (some even have bunkbeds), and the resort is laid out so that the pool and dining areas are convenient to all rooms. Most kids adore the boisterous but oh-so-fun antics of the waitstaff at the Whispering Canyon Cafe, located right in the lobby of the Lodge. Don't miss the twisty water slide and geyser in the pool area, or the game room/arcade located in the main lobby. One of the best perks of the Wilderness Lodge? The quick boat ride to the Magic Kingdom!
Tip: Parents will love the on-site childcare center, which offers dinner and entertainment for youngsters aged four and up each evening. Activities include crafts, movies, and surprise visits from your child's favorite characters.
Disney's French Quarter: This lively and fun resort is a great pick for families--kids will adore the sea serpent waterslide and the outdoor activities and marina, while parents will be thrilled with the lovely themeing and decor.
This resort offers one of the most whimsical pools on Disney property, with frolicking, friendly gators and an oversized sea serpent slide. In addition to the pool, the French Quarter has a playground, arcade, and kid-friendly dining, with American and Creole choices for even the pickiest palate.
Tip: Heading to Downtown Disney for dinner or shopping? Leave your car behind and take a convenient and free boat ride down the river instead.
Disney's All-Star Sports: With a giant football helmet, two-story surfboard, and massive megaphone, it is easy to see what the All-Star Sports resort is about. Like all Value resorts, the All-Star Sports features great Disney themeing and decor at a price designed to fit your budget.
Kids will love the "surf" and "baseball" themed pool and play areas, and the great gaming zone designed with kids in mind. Parents will enjoy the resort's convenient location and complimentary theme park transportation, making the All-Star Sports a great resort pick for the whole team.
Tip: Ask for a room near a bus stop if you are planning on traveling to the theme parks by bus.
