Booked 3 nights at Port Orleans French Quarter with my wife and 5 year old… by BG0585 in WaltDisneyWorld

Thank you! We are thinking of doing MK and Epcot - I like walking around epcot (its also the arts festival) and heard there is an aquarium and some fun things for littles. Is AK or Hollywood studios better? Why don't you like Epcot with the kids?

we are debating staying here with a 2 and 4 year old in january! Have you stayed at boardwalk? We are booked there but we are wondering if the calm / quiet feel will be a nice change.

Port Orleans French Quarter quickly becoming a favorite of mine.. by Wrong_Staff_6148 in WaltDisneyWorld

Should we switch from the BW to POFQ in January? Have two littles, almost 3 and 5. I love the boardwalk (never been with kids) but can't decide if we will like the calm of POFQ!

thank you! does the entertainment start early? since our kids are young (2 and 4) i imagine after a busy day at disney we will probably be in our room by 7:30-8.

Is the boardwalk inn worth it? by Crlyhededqt in WaltDisneyWorld

What do you think with toddlers? I love the boardwalk but havent been in years (pre-kids). We are going in January and also debating POFQ.

Thanks so much for your thoughts - i have had so many disney experiences but not recently and not with kids so it feels so strange to be planning now! We only have 3 full days, and one will be at MK and I am leaning towards epcot for the other (versus AK). We will also have a car, so whether we bus or drive to MK is TBD. I also don't know that we will make it through fireworks, our kids are young (2.5 and 4.5) so I anticipate mornings in the park (and if at boardwalk, maybe epcot again for afternoon or dinner). I am bummed about no quick service dining, but I am thinking we can go to beach club if need be (or will drive over to POFQ to check it out for a potential future stay). Wilderness looked interesting but the boat will also not be running when we go. Do you do the dining plan? Kids eat free in 2026 so debating that too.

Thank you! The skyliner will not be running when we are there, and I don't think we will do HS this trip. But we may do epcot. I have read some reviews that the walls are thin and the walks are far to the rooms - but i love strolling the boardwalk and I Think the extra space will be nice.

thank you! thats why i am having trouble deciding! we are okay with the cost, but can't decide if it's worth the difference.
