Default Orlando hotel questions

Since our 10th anniversary is coming up, I had been dreaming of a
short cruise getaway this year. Alas, since we already took a 1 week
cruise last year, our parents have started asking when we would take our
kids to Disney World. Our two oldest are ~8 years, and when I reflected
on this, I remembered that I first got to enjoy Disney World at about
age 6 or 7. I guess it is high time for us to take our kids there, and
we will have to take a followup cruise next year, perhaps later in the year.

Can any of you fellow travelers recommend a hotel in Orlando that:

A) has a very nice pool (my wife's request)
B) has shuttle (or at least nearby trolley) access to the various theme
parks and the airport
C) a pretty decent breakfast
&
D) 80 bucks a night or less

We are going to fly in, and don't plan to rent a car. My wife wants
us to alternate busy days and "recharging" days during the roughly 9 day
trip. We already have tickets to Legoland Florida, and also plan on
going to Sea World and Disney World. Universal is also a slight
possibility, but we will probably wait until the next trip.

Since my wife and kids like to do a lot of swimming, and we plan on
being at the hotel for probably half of the trip, the quality and size
of the pool will make a big difference in how much she enjoys the trip.

Thanks so much! :-)
