Your kids will love Movies. But, if you have the money to spare you should just do WL that way you won't be standing is some line at Movies and thinkin you should have changed to WL. Although I have heard a fair amount of people complain about transporation at WL also. No resort transporation is perfect. If you don't really have the money do Movies.

I may be wrong, but I think the campfire sing-a-long is at Fort Wilderness, not the Wilderness Lodge. Shouldn't be a problem though, the resorts are next to each other.

Yes they have closets, but there are not any doors on them! I would bring extra hangers, if you have a lot of clothes that need to be hung up.

OK first I am hearing per room for the extra $600. Which makes me asume that there will be more than one room, well with so many of you I can see it!
When my parents came to visit we stayed at movies in the toy story section. My folks had never stayed on prop and staying there was more disney than any of the deluxe resorts. Should you stay at wilderness lodge? The answer when compared to all star movies is yes. Still when its going to cost you $600 more, then the answer is no. That money could be used for food, souveniers, and other stuff.
I have never had a bus problem from the budgets, it may take a bit longer, but you will still get there a lot faster than if you were off property.
The problem is when you stay at a deluxe you get spoiled, just like most of us. For any of us, if you gave a really good deal on AS, then we'd all be there in a heartbeat for the deals and to be at WDW.
So with all the kids, use the money you save from the resort to take them for a character meal or something else more magical! At the end of the trip what do you think they would enjoy more: a fancy hotel where they can sleep or a wonderful breakfast/dinner where they can talk to mickey/goofy/donald without having to wait in line and getting personalized attention??

I think a moderate would be a great idea, you get a little bit bigger room and the moderate rosorts are beautiful.

I'm right with you Disney Teacher, we love the WL but if you could not justify the money then I would stay at one of the moderate resorts. I did not like C.Springs we really enjoyed POR

The campfire is at Fort Wilderness not WL but it's easy to get there from WL. Hop on one of the boats and it will take you to FW (you may have to stop at MK first). WL has prett big closets with sliding doors on them. All Stars have a place to hang clothes but it's more like what you see at a Super 8 type motel.
