Is it just me or is getting an online quote too difficult

ARRGGHHH! I apparently just don't get it. If I want to find out how much it's going to be for a family of 8, how in the world do I do it?

We will have 6 kids at vacation time and I can't understand if, when the online reservation calculator things asks for how many ROOMS, I can't just put ONE room and it will automatically give me the TYPE of room that is acceptable for a family of 8 if they have that. No, on nearly every single reservation site it either tells me that I can't get one room with that many people even though they DO offer a suite that can accomodate us...OR, I put in 2 rooms but that gives me 2 of the smaller rooms which I don't want.

I JUST WANT TO STAY IN ONE ROOM WITH MY FAMILY!!!! Wahhhhhh. I'm getting so frustrated.

Do those of you with large families have no choice but to call and talk to an agent every time you want to get an idea on pricing?

If there is something obvious (probably! LOL) that I am missing, I'd love to hear it!

*As an example, I'm trying to find out how much it will be to stay in a 3 BR Kidsuite at the Nick Hotel. Their online reservation thing only lists the 2 BR right now because they have a special. Of course, we don't qualify to stay in THAT size room so what the heck? I can't even compare if it's cheaper to book 2 2 bedrooms as opposed to 1 3 bedroom. I really didn't imagine that it would be this difficult.

You might have to call the grand gatherings phone number. I think parties over six have to go through them.

Another suggestion would be to go over to the DVC rent/trade board and see how much a two bedroom suite would cost for your trip. This might work for your family depending on the ages of the kids.
