Best resort for teen girl and teen boy?

[sandyt67]

My 2 teens (14 girl/13 boy) and I will be traveling to DisneyWorld next summer. What would be my best bet resort-wise regarding sleeping arrangements. We stayed at Dixie Landings years ago with my folks and had use of a trundle bed. The kids think they want to go that route again. Are there any other options when 3 beds are needed? Can you get a roll-away at any of the Moderate resorts? They really liked the idea of a bunk bed...I think those are at the Wilderness Lodge...but I just don't think I can swing that much for a hotel room. Any suggestions out there?

Sandy -

My teens love Dixie Landings/Port Orleans Riverside. The trundle bed is still an option for you and the kids can even switch on and off. We were just there and saw lots of teens at the resort.

We stayed in AKL in a bunk bed room. The bunk beds were nice and we loved AKL. However, if there is a huge difference in rates, I would go with POR.

If your kids are too tall to fit comfortably on the trundle bed, you might consider buying an Aerobed and taking it on your trip. We took one to Yellowstone with us this summer, and the kids took turns sleeping on it. (Actually, ours was a cheaper version bought at Sam's Club, but still nice and comfortable ). A twin or full-size one would probably fit easily on the floor, then you can deflate it and put it out of the way during the day.

I notice you're a new poster on DIS - welcome! You might be able to afford a deluxe with some of the great discount rates on Mousesavers.com. Then you could get a bunkbed room at WL or AKL, or a room with a daybed at one of the other deluxes.

As long as there is no more than 4, you can request a roll away bed (for $15) at any of the resorts, even at an All Stars. It was really crowded at the All Stars, but it can be done. If you were to stick with a moderate, I would suggest CBR since those rooms are the largest of the mods. But definatley check mousesavers for any codes/discounts for the time you are going, if they are available. You might find a bunk bed at Wilderness Lodge or AKL, or a wing room at the Contemporary for a little more than you might pay regular at a moderate. Last year we stayed at the Contemporary in a wing for $139 ($154 after tax) per night. Just a thought.
