Family of 13, where to stay?..help!

[solanna2]

Hello...first time posting a thread....
We just started to plan our Disney vacation for Nov., and this will be the first time the whole family (all 13 of us) will be staying in Disney property ( 2 years ago we stayed in ASMo, but it was only 4 of us then). To make it short, is there such thing as a villa or something where we could all stay together or do we need to book separate rooms? I have the Vacation Kit video, and it looks like there are some resorts/villas ("Home Away from Home") that look pretty spacious, and have a kitchen-something will sure need as there are going to be 4 babies.
In other words...those of you who travel with a big party...where do you people stay??
I'm sure I'll have lots of question later, but this is my main concern, as I took the *hideous* task of planning (ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PLANNING PART OF THE TRIP) and now my family loves me for it!!! (win-win situation)
Please help....you guys are experts....

We toured the Grand Villa Home (?) at Saratoga Springs. I can't remember if it sleeps 12 or 16, but it was quite large. It had a very nice kitchen and a laundry room. Just make sure that your family can really travel well together. Even if I were in my bedroom I wouldn't feel like I was alone.

In 98 we did a trip with me, my husband, 2 yr daughter, MIL, FIL, SIL and her husband, BIL, and SIL. There were 9 of us and we got two studios at BWV. It was definately not enough space! I think if I were doing a family trip again I wouldn't even worry about getting connecting rooms.

Happy Planning!!!
