We went to disney in the spring and stayed at nick hotel.. we loved it! That being said, my kids are 4 and 5... they were excited to see the big characters at breakfast and meet and greets... the pool area is a blast, water slides.. the mini golf is really small not that great. However if you have your car or a rental right down the road is a walmart, target, mini golf etc and 5 mins from disney. The food was sorta pricey at nick hotel, but then again if you have a suite where you can make your own food you will save $! they did have a deal where youbuy a mug you can get coffee/hot chocolate refills for your whole stay for $1, that was good for me and hubby. The pool is heated as well, just incase you were worried about weather. If you call the hotel directly you might get a better deal than booking it online, They gave us the suite room for $99 a night which was fantastic!
