Hotels that sleep 5

[Sweet Mama]

We are in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Disney. I'm wondering what is the least expensive way to fit 5 into a room. I remember that one of the Moderate Resorts could accommodate 5. Also, I noticed that the Swan and Dolphin offers a teacher discount. When I checked the Swan, I plugged in 5 guests. I got a message back that I would need to book two rooms, so I tried the Dolphin. I got no such message. Does the Dolphin accommodate 5 guests? Two beds and a roll-away would be fine. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

I don't know about the Swan/Dolphin thing. There are rooms at Port Orleans Riverside that accomodate 5, but I think the 5th person needs to be kinda small to fit on the trundle bed.

We were a family of 5 for many years (or a family of 4 with a friend or 2 along). We rented condos/suites offsite or 2 rooms at WDW. 3 kids who didn't like to sleep with each other and we really needed the 2 bathrooms (many times I was the only female )

We did fine with 2 rooms at Port Orleans (both French Quarter and Riverside), but those rooms would just be too tight for me to be comfortable with 5 people. This is just my opinion. You may be perfectly fine with it. It depends on the sizes/ages of your children.

Hope everything works out for you!

We also have 5 the family. We've done Disney 2 different ways...first we did adjoining rooms at All Stars. This worked well and you then have 2 bathrooms to make getting ready easier. The buses drove us crazy, so we tried Contemporary and have been there ever since. The rooms have two double/queen beds and a single daybed. I think you can also get this at Poly., not sure about Dolphin. Have fun planning!

POR is the least expensive. We are going with the 4/3 deal for 2700 for 5 of us with the ddp. This is the first time that we have to pay for all five of us. It was the only hotel that let me put 5 in one room that wasn't a deluxe.
All Star suites was a few hundred dollars more.
It probably also depends on your kids ages. I can't imagine teens sleeping on the trundle happily.

I don't know if anyone in your group is military or retired military, but the Shades of Green standard rooms has two queen sized beds and a couch that is a pull-out bed. Easily fits five.

This summer, my mom, dad, brother, boyfriend, and I are staying there. The five of us will be fine, and my boyfriend won't have to worry about sleeping on the floor or a cot because he'll have the pull-out couch.

This is us too -- 2 double beds and a trundle should sleep 5 (we hope)......

You could always try the cabins at Fort Wilderness. The cabins sleep 6 and have a full kitchen.
