Help picking resort for our family. - The DIS Discussion Forums

Cinbride · 07-16-2009, 06:44 PM

We've stayed at POR and really enjoyed it. However, the beds were small and really high. We will have a 2 yr old and 5mth old with us. I don't want to be cramped. I could probably just do a king bed at a resort, take a packnplay / inflatable mattress and see where we end up.

I would love to try another resort preferably something like WL but the price scares me. We are saving up and planning for Feb 2010. approx. 7 days. We will probably use the room more than last time for down time and such. Any suggestions/strategies? I am hoping my 2 yr old will sleep in the room with us with a tv going. She usually only sleeps in dark/with noise machine. I don't know?????

They won't book you in a king room as far as I know. I think the occupancy for all the king rooms is 2 + infant under 3 in a pack & play. If there are some king rooms somewhere with a daybed (and I don't know if there are), then it would be 3 + infant.

You might get a good deal to rent DVC points from a member and get a 1 BR. Then you would have a separate space for your little one to sleep. The one BR would have a king in the master BR and a sofa bed in the other room.

If you'd like to stay in the moderate category and you would like a bigger bed, CSR rooms were recently renovated and now have queen beds.
