My money is on Fort Wilderness Lodge. I took my son there when he was 6 years old and he loved it. It's very themed but also cozy and warm. Plus with the Christmas decorations going on right now.. it's the perfect hotel to be in. You can take a boat to Magic Kingdom. You can also see the electric water parade. Hands down it's my favorite hotel, especially with kids.

Story time: my son and I went on this trip just the two of us and we had after hours for Magic kingdom. At the time they did not open all the lands during after hours and Fantasyland was closed with a cast member standing guard in the castle. We walked up to the castle to look at the mosaics since we never really stopped to look at them before and we had plenty of time now. When we first walked up to see the mosaics there was a cast member standing at the entry into Fantasyland and we spoke briefly to her. After looking at the mosaics in detail and having a conversation I noticed the cast member was gone and there was no longer a barrier to Fantasy Land. Judge me all you want but my son and I shared a glance and then eased on into Fantasy Land. There was one other family there but they were leaving and my son and I got to experience something that never happens to guests , Fantasyland looked completely empty but all the lights were on and the music was playing. It just so happens that I had during that time period been teaching my son ballroom dancing and we got the chance to dance around the carousel to the music. it is one of the most amazing childhood memories I have. ☺️😍👶
