Need help w/resort choice...

[jennz]

Hi everyone!

We're going to WDW 4/2-4/7 and are trying to put together a trip that our friends can afford. They are a family of 5 - mom, dad, 2 boys (14 and 12) and a girl, 8. They've never been before and would love to go if they can afford it. I got a quote for them in a value resort but they had to have two rooms. Two main questions:

Is there a resort where they can all get in one?
She's a nurse, I seem to remember they get a discount somewhere...is that true?

I think they really need to stay on property or it might get to be too hectic but I could be wrong!

Any and all opinions and advice are welcome!!

Thanks everyone!

5 people can fit in a room at Port Orleans Riverside but with the ages of the kids they might be kind of crowded. They can request a room with a trundle bed and I would think the 8 year old would be comfortable sleeping on it. If it were me I'd rather have 2 rooms at a value, especially for the additional bathroom!!

The Swan and Dolphin do give nurse discounts but I'm not sure about room capacity, I'm pretty sure they only hold 4. Maybe someone else can say for sure.

Also look at Fort Wilderness cabins. We stayed there in 2000 when we took SIL and niece.
