I am still tossing up my decisions on the resort for May 2008. I have a family of 5 and so we are limited to where we can stay. POR - I;m afraid it would be too adult-ish for my 3 DD's. Then there is the family suites at ASMu. I have heard however that the fold outs were very uncomfortable. Plus they seem hard to book. The last choice would be to book 2 rooms at either ASMo or POP (which we loved last year).
Any suggestions?
We are a family of four who makes a visit to WDW yearly (sometimes more than once a year). For the past two years, we have stayed at the CBR and loved it. Well, next year, we will have one more teenager with us.
I e-mailed Disney to find out their recommendations regarding accommodations for a party of 5. I also wanted to know when the 2008 package prices would be posted.
Here is an exact copy of the e-mail I received from Disney:
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World Resort.
Each year, our Product Development Department reviews all components
offered under each package name. This determines the packages and
components included for the following year. At this time, packages
beyond 2007 have not been announced. Please check back in the Summer of
2007 for updated information.
You may want to look at the Family Suites at Disney's All Star Music
Resort or the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground. Then there
is always the possibility of taking two rooms at a value or moderate
resort. The next bump up for a party of 5 would be a deluxe resort.
Family Suites at Disney's All Star Music Resort include separate
sleeping areas, a mini kitchenette with a small refrigerator and
microwave, two full bathrooms and will sleep a party of 6 plus a crib
size infant under the age of three. Bedding in the spacious Family
Suite (520 sq ft) is 1 Queen Bed, 1 Convertible Sleeper Chair, 1 Sleeper
Sofa and 1 Convertible Sleeper Ottoman. Having two bathrooms makes
getting ready easier and more convenient. This room category includes
all standard Resort Amenities, plus coffee/tea maker and hair dryer.
With the extra room, families can be together in the suite and still
enjoy separate sleeping areas with more privacy. You can relax and
recount the memories of the day before falling off to a good night's
sleep.
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground offer the Wilderness
CABINS: reminiscent of the log homes of the pioneers - but with the
Disney touch. Each manufactured 42x12 cabin has richly colored
wilderness accents, extra storage space, dining room and full size
bathroom with shower/tub. The bedroom has a double bed and bunk beds,
and the living room features a comfortable, pull down double bed, as
well as cable TV. The maximum party size is six plus a crib size infant
under the age of three. You will certainly enjoy the comfort of
air-conditioning and heating, fully equipped kitchen, and daily
housekeeping service. For outdoor relaxation, just stroll onto the deck
with picnic table and adjoining barbecue grill, all nestled under a lush
canopy of trees. Laundry, restrooms and showers are available, if
needed, at the nearby pool.
