Wondering if we should move a tad closer to the entrance to one of the other two properties as they have free breakfast. Thanks for any advice! I'm excited already!

Clean, good sized rooms, free breakfast, we got a free welcome basket full of stuff, it's literally right across from pedestrian entrance to DL, view of top of Matterhorn from breakfast terrace. Would definitely stay there again. If price is comparable, I'd go for it for closer distance alone.
Originally Posted By Kidz-n-k9s Haven't been to the FF Inn, but have stayed recently at both the Park Vue and BWPPI and both are good places to stay. Terrific location at either one. I just received an email from Park Vue the other day. They are no longer charging for parking or Wifi, and have upgraded to 50 channels of HDTV and Free on-demand movies. CC is correct about the nice basket and good meals. My kids are much younger than yours, but really like the bunk beds at Park Vue. They also liked the pull-out couch at BWPPI because it was behind a small wall, so almost like their own room. So room type might be part of your decision as well.

I would stay again because it's CLOSE, CLEAN, and CHEAP.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I think Anaheim Plaze inside rooms are overall much more icky than Park Vue. The price is reflected in that of course. I thought the grounds were nice at Anaheim Plaza, but if your neighbor flushes toilet or showers when you do, you're going to get a cold shower. Water pressure was horrible. Room is very outdated, and smells kinda "musty". Drastically needs updated. Pool is beautiful though.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy I like Best Western Park Place Inn & Suites next to Park Vue Inn. I stop staying at Park Vue because of the large price increase. Also I suggest you reserve now... you do not need to pay until you arrive, and the rates rise almost daily for any motel by Disney. Good Luck.. ALSO sometime when you reserve online there is a lower rate.
