We're planning Disney World vacation for next Spring, and are debating between staying at Springhill/Towneplace at Flamingo crossing vs. one of the villa-type locations (which I learned in a sister thread: Vistana, Harbour Lake, Cypress Harbour, Sabal Palms, Royal Palms, Lakeshore, Grande Vista). We will use Marriott points for the stay, and have enough points for either option.
2 adults, 3 children who would just turn 10, 7, and 5 by the time of visit. Plan to spend ~6 days in DW and then another 1-2 days in Legoland.

Questions:
- From your experience, are villas worth 2x the points vs. Springhill, specifically for the Disney World vacation? Understanding all the benefits - more space, full kitchen, full size fridge, pools, slides, kids club - my main hesitation is that we won't have time to enjoy any of these, as the day is going to be "wake up - go to parks - come back - sleep - repeat", at which point it's probably wiser to stay in Springhill and have the free breakfast. Please share what was your experience
- If we go with the villas, what would be your favorite out of the Marriott (+ former SPG) properties for kids this age, who are moderately active, love to swim, etc.?
