Thanks Poppy

P.S sorry for all questions just we wont get to go often and I want it to be special and magical for us all and looking to book it all soon.

Don't worry about all the questions that is what this board is for

If your party is 2 adults, 3 children and an infant you'll be restricted to looking at a suite option, Davy Crockett Ranch (although you need a car), Explorers which has a bunk room option for families or a house.

On site I can't praise DCR highly enough. Explorers has lots of supporters.
Have a look at the Hotel FAQ and some trip reports

For a famil of that size I would recommend the Marriott (2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, full kitchen inc Washer and Drier, and 3 tvs - sleeps 6 and much cheaper than the other Disney options.

Also Pierre and Vacance could be a good choice.

Some Disneyland Hotel rooms sleep 5, but these family rooms are VERY expensive.

Personally I do not feel the need to stay on site at DLP as I do in the US parks, but I have been many times. If money is not an issue, then the Family Rooms at DLH or a suite in the Disney hotels are an option. Or the Explorers, Marriott and Pierre & Vacance offer better value for money IMHO.
