I thought I commented on this a few days ago but I guess I didnt....
We are checking in next Saturday, into a family suite and I could NOT be more excited!!! This was truly the perfect choice for our family! There are 5 of us- myself & my husband, son 9, daughter 5, son almost 3! (He turns 3 the week after we come home.) the AoA suites look amazing, but the cost differance just couldn't get me this time. This is a first visit for all of us, btw! At first we had booked just a standard room but I really felt like my husband was going to be really negative about a tiny room, even though he wanted to go cheap. It was about an extra $700 to upgrade to the family suite, and I think he'll be happier, in turn making all of us happier! And I'm pretty pumped about it too! We agreed awhile ago that we wanted to stay at the values bc of the theming for our kids. And also that we'd like to go once a year- so this will be the defining trip for us! When the kids get older, we'll stay at higher level resorts. But for now, I'm THRILLED to be heading to an in-your-face-disney resort!!!
