Wondering of a Family Suite at Allstars would work?

Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)
-Studio amenities and separate sleeping areas giving more privacy than a standard room.
-Queen bed, full-size pullout sofa, convertible ottoman & chair sleepers (4 separate sleepers)
-Private master bedroom and family room have 27” flat CRT TV and high speed internet access.
-Kitchenette with microwave, small refrigerator (4.3 cu. ft) and coffee pot
-Two-full bathrooms

Gee, do not know those answers, but I am sure if you posted on the Family Suites thread someone would know!

Minnie61650 knows everything about the Family Suites, so you could even send her a private message.

I'm sorry I could not help more

You might also consider a two-bedroom DVC. We stayed in one once with a family group of 8 + baby and enjoyed it. There are two bedrooms, two baths, plus a sofa sleeper in the living room. You get a complete kitchen, dining area, living room area plus washer/dryer.

We liked that we could gather in the mornings around the kitchen table, have breakfast and plan our day. It was more like staying in a home.

We stayed at Saratoga Springs Resort. Although we were comfortable, I'd probably go with Old Key West next time as I understand the rooms are bigger.

Hi, Grace and Mickey,

I cannot answer the DVC question well enough, but we have rented points. The best place for info would be here:

http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29

Read the very first thread and then you could check out more threads. DVC can also be reserved directly through Disney just like a resort room - you can call or find more info on www.disneyworld.com It is more expensive that way.

Wish I could think of more options for 7 people - but a Family Suite would give two bathrooms, two TV's etc...I am thinking any arrangement with 2 bathrooms and 2 TV's would be a plus - be it a Family Suite or 2/3 rooms

Some guests rent a house/condo off site - many come with a pool! If you are renting a car and would not mind being off site that could be a possiblity. I found this on allears:

http://allears.net/acc/vhomes.htm You can read reviews there as well.

Did you check out the Family Suite thread I posted? Was that of any help?

Good luck!!

Yes I did, and I was a lot of help. Thank you , we really want to stay on site, i thought you could not get the dinning planing if you did'nt?And I relly like the magicial feeling you get from being there.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, I agree completely! Would not stay off site. Way back in the 80's when we could find no room for a last minute weekend, we did stay at a Downtown Disney hotel, but then buses were provided by Disney and there was no EMH's, so it did not feel off site - and there was only 3 Disney Resorts at the time! Would never do that now, as the hotels do feel off site - buses are awful and no EMH, except for the Hilton.

Anyway!! Yes, the dining plan is a pkg only available to Resort guests - so everyone must have the same tkt - even if it is just one day. If youa re going long enough, it might be worth buying an Annual Pass - then you can take advantage of any resort discounts that might be available and now can add on DDP too.

And if you have AAA don't forget to check fot AAA rates at the resorts - this can be done calling CRO directly, but the dining plan can only be added to a AAA reservation by booking directly through a AAA travel agent.

Planning is half the fun!!
p.s. If you decide to rent points, the dining plan can be added and it would be paid for at check-in.
