Why Staying at a Monorail Resort at Walt Disney World Is the Best Option for Families with Little Kids

Planning a Disney vacation with little ones? Trust me, one of the best decisions you can make is staying at a Monorail Resort at Walt Disney World. As a mom of two adventurous kids, Harper (4) and Piper (7), I can confidently say that the convenience, comfort, and extra magic these resorts offer make all the difference when traveling with young children.

1. Unbeatable Convenience

The biggest perk? Direct access to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT via the iconic Monorail. No folding up strollers for buses, no long waits—just hop on and go! This is a game-changer, especially when little legs get tired after a day of Disney fun. Quick and easy transportation means less stress for parents and more time enjoying the magic.

2. Perfect for Naps and Breaks

With small kids, downtime is essential. Staying at a Monorail Resort like Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, or Grand Floridian Resort & Spa means you’re just minutes away from your room. Need to head back for a quick nap, snack, or swim? No problem! This proximity helps keep everyone well-rested and ready for more Disney adventures.

3. Stroller-Friendly Travel

Let’s be real—Disney trips often mean lots of stroller time. The Monorail is stroller-friendly, which means you can roll right on without the hassle of collapsing it (hallelujah!). This simple perk saves time and keeps the kids comfy, especially if they’ve dozed off.

4. Extra Magic at Your Doorstep

Monorail Resorts aren’t just about convenience; they’re packed with Disney magic. From character dining experiences (hello, breakfast with Mickey!) to stunning views of Cinderella Castle and the nightly Electrical Water Pageant, there’s magic around every corner.

5. Top-Notch Amenities for Families

These resorts are designed with families in mind:

• Zero-entry pools perfect for little swimmers.
• Playgrounds and fun recreational activities.
• Spacious rooms with layouts that make family life easier.

6. Stress-Free Evenings

After a long day, catching the Monorail back to your resort is pure bliss. No navigating crowded buses or dealing with long lines—just a peaceful ride with stunning nighttime views of the parks. Plus, if you time it right, you can catch the fireworks from your resort, avoiding the crowds but still soaking in the magic.

Final Thoughts

While Monorail Resorts can be a bit pricier, the convenience, time saved, and extra Disney magic are truly priceless when you have little ones in tow. It’s an investment in less stress, more fun, and magical memories your family will cherish forever.
