You start at the Contemporary and I'll start at Animal Kingdom Lodge with my kids, 7, 4, and 1. I'll race you to Spaceship Earth and we'll see who gets there first.
To each his own, I suppose. I've stayed at AKL and Contemporary and I do find the CR more convenient with stroller age children overall. YMMV. I happen to spend most of my time in MK, so racing to Spaceship Earth would not be how I define convenience. Getting into and out of MK quickly without having to collapse a stroller is tops on my list. Just my opinion. It's certainly a valid point that AKL is not as "far away from everything" as people make it seem. Still, having to take a bus all the time can be frustrating. As we all know, not all bus waits are created equal. I just know I've always been relieved on my vacation days when I don't have to take the bus and wake up my kids. It's also very difficult for me to go on a bus with babies and strollers if I am by myself because I can't carry the baby AND break down the double stroller at the same time. On a monorail or a boat I can roll the stroller onto, I don't have to do that. Different families have different situations. It's probably a moot point here because OP doesn't list monorail resorts among those he/she is considering.
