3 Adults and 2 children...Where to Stay?

[lucky978]

I know most of the values and moderates only sleep 4. Does anyone have suggestions? I'd like to try not to get two rooms if I don't have to.

POR (Port Orleans Riverside) in AB section has trundle bed they will sleep 5 -

this is 2 double beds plus the trundle bed - one bathroom

FW cabins is a better choice (my opinion) - 1 double bed - bunk beds and a murphy bed in the livingroom - it has a kitchen so you can save money by not eating out as much.

CSR has suites that sleep 5

Polyn, Cont, GF, BC, YC, BWI has 2 queen beds and a day bed - the one at the Polyn and Cont is the size of a twin bed - the others are much smaller.

the DVC resorts have a 2-bedroom villa - this is expensive - but if you can afford it (you can save some money renting from a dVC member but they are still expensive - OKW is your best buy here)
you do get 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, with a washer and dryer at these. a king bed in the master, a queen sleeper sofa in the livingroom and depending upon which resort you choose either a queen bed and a double sleeper sofa - or 2 queens (OKW only has 2 queens)

go to the DVC rental/trade board on this site for more information about renting a DVC resort.

My understanding is that even at the resorts that allow 5 ppl in the room there is a $25/night charge for the 3rd adult. If you factor that in it is probably cheaper to get two rooms at a value or moderate. What are your reasons for not wanting two rooms? Having the second bathroom would be good. Having said that, we've stayed at the Polynesian (one room) before when there were 6 of us (one was a baby). Also the Swan and AKL. In the future we will probably go for the two rooms at a value or moderate, at least until our kids start flying the coop (that will be starting soon).

Tigger&Belle is right. If it is money you are worried about, it will still be cheaper to get 2 rooms at a value resort rather than 1 somewhere else because of the extra adult. The trundle beds at POR are made for children so unless the extra adult was small, they would have to share a bed with one of the children. If you don't go with 2 value rooms I would go with a FW cabin.
