Deluxe Resort Advice with 1 yo, 3 yo, and MIL Week after Thanksgiving 2026
Visiting WDW for the first time and probably won’t be back for a few years later…
Which deluxe resort would you recommend for our family of 5 visiting 7 nights and 6 park hopper days? My 3 year old is obsessed with the princesses and classic Disney, so I assume we will go to magic kingdom a full 2 park days and maybe hop other evenings if we’re feeling up to it.
My MIL is a saint and will watch the 1 yo for naps/evenings, so convenience of traveling back to the room is important. We’re big walkers so a 1 mile walk to a park doesn’t bother me.
I’m fully expecting to spend $15k+ and don’t anticipate us coming back for a long time, so will shell out whatever. Just wanting to have the most magical and seamless experience! Also don’t care about the pools because my 3 year old hates swimming (unfortunately). We’re only 6 months out so several properties are sold out of room categories. A few suggestions would be awesome in case your first is sold out.
I’ve also heard of switching resorts mid-trip - actually worth it or just a headache? Thanks for your feedback!
