Not too many options for 6 or more..

[scrappinMickey]

Anyone else have this problem??? We want to stay on-site again in June, but with 6 of us there are not too many options! Unless you want to pay out big bucks!!!!!!!!

Any suggestions??? I don't always want to have to stay at the FW Cabins!

Why not get 2 rooms at a Value resort? This gives you the added benefit of 2 bathrooms.

We are a family of five so have similar problems. What we now do is get two rooms. We usually get two rooms at a moderate since we personally do not care for the value resorts. Last summer we got two rooms at CSR for a total of $148 per night excluding tax. I believe that is about what you can get the cabins for with a discount. You can also get two rooms at a value resort and it will be a little cheaper. Also they will guarantee connecting rooms due to larger families. The plusses of having two rooms is four beds, two tv's and most importantly two bathrooms.

There are a lot of options but they are not as well known.
-- FW cabins: already mentioned
-- 2 rooms at value or moderate: already mentioned
-- 2BR suite at DVC property: ideal if you can swing it. Quite expensive at rack rates but significant discounts are often available at Old Key West which has the largest suites anyway. Renting points can cut the expense almost in half -- see DVC rent/trade board.
-- If one of the six is under 3 you can actually stay in one room at the deluxe resorts that normally sleep 5 because they have a daybed in the room. (GF, CR, PR, BC, YC, BWI) A little crowded but nice!
-- Junior Suites at Wilderness Lodge, Swan/Dolphin, Contemporary. Again expensive at rack rates but maybe viable option if you can get major discount.
-- Doubletree Guest Suites near Downtown Disney: technically on property but not Disney-owned. A good value if you can get a reasonable rate. Large suites about 600 sq ft with two double beds and a sleeper couch. Similar to typical Embassy Suites but not as nicely furnished.
-- Sheraton Vistana Resort: just outside WDW on route 535. Timeshares but available for cash rental. Nice 2BR suites. Mixed reviews but definitely worth investigating.
-- and of course all sort of off-site options, including vacation homes for rental.

(No, our family is only 4! But I have complete sympathy for those with more.)
