Orlando resorts cluster into two camps: Disney properties that sell convenience (monorail access, park tie-ins) and Four Seasons or Universal resorts that compete on space, amenities, and value-for-money. Disney's Polynesian Village wins if you want the fastest park entry and don't mind paying for the monorail premium. Four Seasons is the smarter play for families who'd rather have a lazy river, larger suites, and kids' club at a property that doesn't gouge on in-room dining. Universal's Royal Pacific is the sleeper pick—Express Pass included with your room basically lets you skip every line, which with kids under 10, pays for itself in sanity alone. Budget accordingly: this isn't the place to cut corners.
