Advice on a resort with a family of 5

[mickeymom22]

We are a family of five. I would rather have space and two bathrooms. I would go with a family suite at ASMusic (cheaper than AoA) or two rooms at a value.

We totally love the Disney bubble too! We always wish we were on-site when we stay off-site. The only time we didn't mind it too much was when we stayed at the Bonnet Creek resort.

Happy Planning!

I think 2 connecting rooms at Pop would be perfect. I've never done it's so I'm not sure how likely it would be to happen. Everyone could have their own queen-sized bed or alternatively you can have your own room and make them share a bed. Movies is done up just like Pop, so that's a good option too.

I would too. You will still have 2 bathrooms, and gain a kitchenette.

As far as space vs location goes, you have to know your family. We figured out this year that location is more important to us than space.

We are diehard Art of Animation people. Used to be Port Orleans, but our recent trips have all been AoA. Each suite (we like the Cars Suites) gives you two full bathrooms, a double bed in the pull-down "Mater Bed", a double... maybe queen size pull out couch (which is actually comfortable and made for Disney specifically), and then Queen size mattress in the bedroom with a door. This room also has the larger of the two bathrooms. When my sister once visited from Jacksonville, we even got a rollaway bed brought in from the hotel staff. Oodles of room in the Art of Animation family suites!

And now with the Skyliner right there to sweep us off to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, it really has become a no-brainer for us for future trips.

I think Pop is your best bet since you seem to be spending most of your time in the parks. If you were using the resort as part of your vacation, I would choose a Deluxe, but never if the room was just a place to sleep.
