2 bedroom or two rooms?

[Regan117]

We are four adults and we are doing a 2-bedroom suite at GF (the Grand Suite). No kitchen, but with 2200 sq ft, gives us enough space to be apart, while still in the same room.

The 2-bedroom suites at GF are very large. And you will have a small kitchenette area, with a Keurig, small fridge, sink, and counter area with two bar stools (in addition to a small dining table that seats 4). Three bathrooms is nice too! When we go as a family of 5, we stay in a 2-bedroom suite often and it's plenty of space.

I think 2 bedroom lockoff units are the best of both worlds. They are essentially independent rooms (studio and 1br) that you can choose to connect with an interior door. There are two separate bathrooms, a full kitchen on one side and a kitchenette on the other. We are staying in one with my parents in November.

2200 soft! That's bigger that our house!

Other hotel companies do guarantee connected rooms but WDW does not.

I guess their logic is if you really need to be connected get a suite of some sort

I think it is with allowing guests to make so many requests it makes guaranteeing connecting rooms nearly impossible. "I want two 3rd floor rooms on the back side of the building, not overlooking a parking lot, and are an easy walk to the bus stop and pool. Oh, and make them connect".

Could be. I guess you could make the connecting request the priority? I just think they run at such high occupancy they. And be bothered

Disney also has so many options that individual properties do not. The Hampton Inn near me accommodates one to four guests per room, period. Connecting rooms are the sole option for groups larger than four. WDW has so many options - depending on the property and room reserved, you can have anywhere from one to twelve guests in a single unit.

There isn't a need for connecting rooms. Large parties needing or even just wanting to stay together can choose to book the correct size room, rather than risk connecting rooms.

I recommend that you take a look on Youtube for tours of some of the resorts - the have many different configurations posted. We opted to rent points for a two bedroom villa at Kidani. There will be three sets of adults sharing for three of the nights, with two couples for the other three nights, so we really needed the room. We could have rented three separate rooms, but this will give us the chance to relax in the evenings together. The fridge will keep beer/drinks/snacks cold, we can cook a little if we want, and we can have a relaxed coffee and breakfast in the morning without trying to figure where to juggle everything. It would also be great for you to be able to put your kids to bed and stay up a little past them, which is easier if they are in another room.

Oh, and Kidani (Animal Kingdom Villas) has three bathrooms. It makes getting ready for the parks much easier!

I said that somewhere above.

If your budget allows, I would recommend a 2 bedroom villa. In 2014, my DH, my two sons, and my parents stayed at OKW in a 2 bedroom villa. The OKW villas are very roomy, and we loved being together, yet separate. My folks took the master bedroom with the king bed. It had a huge bathroom and a washer/dryer, which was so nice. We took the second bedroom with the two queen beds and our own bathroom.

We had a full kitchen and ordered groceries from WeGoShop, so we could have breakfast and snacks in our villa. We did park time with my parents and park time with just our family of 4 when my folks got tired. We had a cash reservation, and split the cost with my folks. The OKW villas are a cheaper option than the other deluxe resorts with villas. My parents loved that trip as much as we did, and they enjoyed being able to lounge at this quiet, slow paced resort, and go to the parks with us when they felt like it.

Whatever you decide, enjoy your WDW trip...going to Disney with grandparents is so, so special!
