ATA Fall Nationals at ESPN

[TammiKatt]

Okay, here goes, my son is very much into martial arts, and currently holds 4th GUP Rank in Tang So Do. Due to the economy, the dojo closed in September of 2010.

We have been debating doing ATA Tae Kwon Do. He has seen some of the clips from the Fall Nationals that are held at Disney/ESPN each October.
Dates for this year are Oct 19-22, 2011.

Hoping to start training again in the next two weeks, but here are my questions:

1. Are there buses that go from the hotels to the sports complex?
2. Which is the best (location wise) to stay at with a 10 year old and a 6 year.
3. Has anyone done this before?

(OMG, he hits double digits this summer!)

Usually you have to pick up the bus at HS. The Boardwalk hotel might work for you. you can walk or boat or bus from there to HS. I don't have kids, but I always enjoyed a good pool and a boardwalk when I was a kid.
The Beach Club is a little bit farther of a walk to HS (It is on the Epcot side of the lake), but the pool is the best (sand bottom, lazy river, cool slide) and the boardwalk is just on the other side of the lake. Oh, Beaches and Cream is there and you could have a character breakfast at Cape May Cafe.

Does the event have a host hotel? If it does, the bus to ESPN will also leave from that hotel.
