AK or HIFS?? Plus more, questions....

[cindyx4]

Hello,

We are planning our first trip to WDW this August. We have 4 boys...so 6 in our party all together. I'm wondering if we should stay in the smaller AK room just to be on the park? OR should we do the HIFS where the space would be larger and cost basically the same (although HIFS offers breakfast for all of us)? Because of the cost of tickets, we need to be as cost effective as possible. Our 2 and 4 year olds will be taking afternoon naps and this is why Ithink we should do HIFS (for more privacy). Dh, however, says, if we are going to WDW then we need to stay on property. We can't afford to get 2 rooms so the only inexpensive option is Ak (or I guess 2 rooms at the All Stars?)

Also, we are going to be at Disney 5 nights and 6 days. One day will be used being our fiorst and last days, another day we will be going to NASA. What kind of park hoppers should we buy?...4 days, 3 days or 5? We do want to be able to park hop on the same day.

I'm sure I will have more questions as I do my research. Thanks for your help!
