Pop Century is my recommendation in the value category, port orleans french quarter and caribbean beach in the moderate. (all of the perks of staying inside disney are definitely worth the money)

Pop Century ($82-151/night) http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/resorts/resortLanding?id=PopCenturyResortLandingPage

Port Orleans French Quarter ($149-240)(http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/resorts/resortLanding?id=PortOrleansFrenchQuarterResortLandingPage

Caribbean Beach ($149-240)

Otherwise, you should choose a hotel that has free shuttle transportation to the parks.

http://www.radisson.com/hotels/flkissim ($89-109) has 3 pools, waterslide, kids activities, free shuttle..

http://www.sheratonsafari.com/ (87-127) pool with slide, free shuttle..safari theme..

http://www.clarionwaterpark.com/index.shtml (62-106) free shuttle, hotel/waterpark

And there is a variety of holiday inn's that are reasonable and offer shuttle service.

For nice, on the cheaper side, with a kid--Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter, hands down. It is a "moderate" resort to Disney, which puts it in the middle of the Disney price classes, and of the 4 moderates, is far and away the most charming and romantic. I have put a wikipedia link at the bottom--note that it covers two resorts, Port Orleans French Quarter--the one I recommend--and Port Orleans Riverside, which is a great resort, but not nearly as romantic as POFQ

If you want to learn more about what you get in the three main Disney resort price classes (value, moderate, deluxe), see this page: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/where-to-stay/next-best-resort-choices/walt-disney-world-resort-features-by-price-category/

...and if you want to see more on the moderates compared to each other, see this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/where-to-stay/next-best-resort-choices/walt-disney-world-resort-features-by-price-category/resort-distinctions-moderates/

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful trip!! Dave

We stayed at the All-Star Resorts at Disney. It is on the cheaper side, but still wonderful. The only thing I have against outside Disney Hotels, is ease of access to the parks. It was great cause we just jumped on the bus to the park we wanted to go to that day. Also, with a kid, I would definatly stay in a Disney Resort. We had 2 with us, and they get tired. The excitement, heat, and all the walking. We would go in the morning, come back to our room for lunch and take a nap, then head back out to the park in the afternoon. It worked great for them and us. Not as stressful as trying to get back to an outside hotel. Plus, get a room with a fridge in it. It will save you some money. We brought sandwich stuff with us, and made lunch everyday to save some cash. Enjoy!!!

Try the All-Star resorts. They're one of the cheaper ones, but the name sounds pretty cool. So your daughter won't mind. I think they're $80 a night.
Have fun!

Value resorts are always the cheapest out of all the disney resorts.
Personally in the moderate range I have to say Port Orleans French Quater. It is always my favorite. If you go on the Disney cruise ou will get a better deal if you do a disne hotel also. Look into the 3 day sea and 4 day land. 3 days on disney cruise ship and 4 days at the parks

The disney cruise is awesome i have been on 3 and they have been the best. On the cheaper side i would choose Disney it is alot cheaper than the cruise but the cruise is awesome. Staying at disney on the cheap side stay at the Value resorts they are the best and they have everything you need.

Have Fun!

When I was there a week ago, we stayed at the Pop Century Resort. For the amount of time you spend your room it is the cheapest and comfortable. They have 3 pools, a kiddie pool, a playground, and an arcade. They hotels are based on centuries, starting at the 50s to the 90s. Overall, it is a great place to stay and it's cheap!

I suggest that you check out Port Orleans French Quarter http://www.orlandofuntickets.com/disney_port_orleans_resort_french_quarter.php

The Disney Cruise is amazing, I suggest that you check out All Ears http://www.allears.net they have a lot of people who talk about thier cruises there.

I hope this helps!

How about a 3 bedroom Orlando vacation home by Disney World for $99 per night. Fully furnished all you need to do is bring clothes and get some food to eat. Don't ruin your kids memory in a cramped up motel room. Check out the site below and it has plenty to offer!

Well since you want to go to Disney World, why not stay at a Disney Hotel? You can stay at a value resort which is about $80 per night, and the there are 4 different ones

Disney Pop Century Resort
Disney All Star Movies Resort
Disney All Star Sports Resort And
Disney All Star Music Resorts

These resort hotels are reall great!! And the best part is that if you stay at this hotel (or any other Disney Resorts) you can get extra magic hours at a theme park. You can get into the park 1 hour before it opens or stay up to 3 hours after it closes. It is pretty fun!

Hope i helped! have an awesome vacation

I would go on-line and look for something on International Drive. We went to Sea World and had a great time. There are always deals to find and there are allot of things to do there. Tons of dining places and attractions.

Go online and look for a nice hotel on International Drive, preferably to the west of Sand Lake Road (this is the newer side of I Drive, towards the convention center and Sea World). If you really do your research, you can even find some nice hotel deals around Lake Buena Vista or even on Disney property.

The Disney cruise is very nice, but it is very pricey. You could save about $200+ per person if you went on Carnival Cruise Lines or Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines instead of Disney. And they still would have a lot of activities for your daughter as well.
