I have stayed at The Contemporary (14 nights) and The Grand Floridian (one night) and would only consider a hotel for a night or two as I do not enjoy sharing one room with our children and being forced to watch their choice of TV when we are not at the parks[B)]A villa gets you multiple bedrooms usually with their own TV and so much more space and privacy. Plus you do not have to endure Disney food for every meal[8D]
