2 Adult/3 Kids - Where to stay

[Tamie]

I am planning a trip and would like to know where we can stay with 5 people. I know that the value resorts are out because they only hold five, but isnt there some moderate resorts that have a pull out bed (trundle bed)? Please let me know, I am trying to do this on a budget (hehe), what is your suggestions.

POR in the Alligator Bayou section is the only value or moderate that will accomodate 5 people in one room. They have trundle beds.

We stayed there last year. It's a lovely resort.

I think I read that CSR has some rooms where you can sleep 5. How old are the kids?

Port Orleans holds 5 in a trundle. How old is your youngest? The only reason I ask is because the trundle is rather small.

--Fort Wilderness cabins also accommodate 5- you get a full kitchen

--Some deluxes accommodate 5 - Beach Club, Yacht Club, Poly

--You may want to look into renting points from a DVC owner for a 2 Bedroom unit - 2 baths, sleeps 8, full kitchen (If your youngest is 3 or under you could get a 1 bedroom or studio also)

We have 5 also so I feel your "budget pain". We have found that we enjoyed the cabins or DVC the best because of the size & kitchen area.

Thanks for all your suggestions. The kids are 9, 16 and 18, unless the 18 yo can go then probably 2 16yo's (daughters friend)

I believe that POR Alligator Bayou will do fine for you. Look at this sticky thread for the info and pictures of the rooms.

Contemporary has rooms for 5.

At those ages you should consider two connecting rooms at a value. The two bathrooms will probably come in handy, and the cost isn't much more than a moderate at rack rate- possibly even cheaper if you get a good discount (with AAA I have two rooms at Pop reserved for $4 a night cheaper than a single room reservation at POFQ the following month for another trip.)

I would always stay at the cabins at Ft. Wilderness. You get a full kitchen, a murphy bed in living room a double (or queen?) bed in back bedroom which also has bunk beds. Living room and bedroom both have t.v.'s. There is one cabin loop that backs up to a camping loop which has a comfort station. I have 4 girls and with the comfort station within walking, I had a fair chance at a hot shower. Plus, the MK is only a boat ride away!

I also have 2 adults and 3 children. My children are 4, 15 and 10. We stayed at POR for one before our week long stay at the Contemporary. We suggested that our 4 year old stay in the trundle, but it ended up being our very tall 10 year old. She loved it. All of the deluxe resorts have a day bed, so you can accomodate 5 easlily and they have lots of room, at least 400 sq. ft. The POR has about 315 Sq. Ft. We like the extra room of a deluxe. You would still come out cheaper however if you rented two rooms at a value. My family believes it is worth the extra money for the Contemporary because of the convience of the parks and the extra room.
