july-cabins-1 year old TRIPLETS-HELP!

[BrookeFL]

I will be staying at 1 of the cabins at the camp grounds in the middle of July. I have triplets that will be 18 months old AND a 4 year old. My brother will also be staying in his own cabin with his 8 year old, 4 year old and brand new baby who will be about 6 weeks old (not born yet).
Little history:
I am new to this board
I worked for dinsey reservation center for about 1 1/2 years before having my 1st daughter who is now 4.
my brother (who is going with) still works for disney. we go often but i could still get lots of advice and tips.
now that the kids are older (not the trio) my brother can no longer get us in for free.
SO we will be buying annual passes (without water parks) when we get there. any tips, and yes we live in florida about 1 hour away from WDW.
we are getting a good cast member discount on the cabin but we are looking for every possible way to save.

any tips for staying at the cabins with 3 little 1 year olds and a 4 year old?
does it have a FULL fridge and stove? i cant believe i cant remember that from when i worked booking the darn things!
what is there to do at the camp ground?
anything you suggest for big familes?
i am worried about the space. my trio all go to bed earlier then we do (i know AT disney they will not be so scheduled!) like 7pm! will they fit into the bedroom area with 3 pak-n-plays?
will they provide 3 pak-n-plays?
oh HELP ME!!
any tips on the table size? will it accomadate 3 of the seats that latch on to the table thats what we have.

Can't answer all your questions, but:
- the fridge and electric stove are full-size
- the bedroom has a set of bunks and a double bed. There is not a lot of room between the double and the bunks. (I personally don't have experience trying to get other furniture in there but definitely think you would have a difficult time doing so. How would your triplets do on the double bed with a safety guard on the side of the bed?)
- there is horseback riding, Chip and Dale's movie sing-a-longs, Mickey's Backyard BBQ, the HoopDeeDoo Revue, and the pools for entertainment
- check out http://www.allearsnet.com/acc/faq_fw.htm for more details and pictures
- fyi - depending on where your cabin is located you may have a hike to get to the laundry

Sounds like a great family get together. Have fun!!!

Look at photos http://www.allearsnet.com/acc/g_ftw.htm, http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/photofwcabin2.html, http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/photofwcabin3.html They will give you a good idea of the space, table and all else. Full size kitchen items. Bedroom is tight, so even if you get the pack n plays in there, you probably won't be able to move around.

Have you set it up that the cabins are together ? We did this once, and it was great. Having your car will be key. While there is stuff to do in there, you can not drive anywhere - not permitted. You will have to load your gang on buses and travel to where ever. Personally not worth it.

Have a good time

Being a mom of twins, I might have some advice. When we went with our two when they were small, you put them into the same pak n play, instead of bringing two. You might want to consider doubling up two of them. Depending on how restless they are, you might even get three into one. My two were very small, that if the third had survived i am sure I could have gotten three into one pak n play. They are almost four now and the baby sitter just stopped putting them into a playpen together for their nap.

Also, this may be more time consuming, but you could feed them in shifts, if all three seats don't fit on the counter. Like, while DH is getting the 4 year old dressed, you could feed two of the babies, and then you could go and get those two dressed while he feeds the 4 year old and the remaining baby.

Good luck with your trip, I think you are very brave. I hope you all have a blast.

Hi,
When we stayed in the FW cabins, we had 1 little one in a pack-N-play and we found it cramped in the bedroom. It would not fit between the double bed and the bunks, so we didn't use the closet alcove and put it in there. I would think that only one pack-N-play would fit in the bedroom area. However the living room area is fairly spacious when the murphy be is not down. Perhaps consider putting the babies to bed there. The bedroom has its own t.v. for the rest of your party to enjoy after they go to sleep. The bathroom is located by the bedroom as well so accessing this area could be done without disturbing the wee ones. If this doesn't seem feasible, try what someone else suggested- let them sleep together in the double bed with a bed rail(disney will provide). You could sleep in the bottom bunk and only be an arm's reach away.
As for the table, I remember it being a pretty good size. It has a bench seat on one side and a set of chairs on the other. Disney will provide high chairs if you do not want to bring your own chairs for them.
You will love the convenience of having a full kitchen with the kids. It even has a dishwasher so bring any bottle washing attachments you have so you can throw the bottles in at the end of the day and let them wash themselves!
Its also great to have the car parked right outside your door every morning especially with all that stuff you will have!
I wish you and your family a wonderful trip
