NYE 2008-Which Resort for Party of 5

[pistonfan32]

We are looking at going back to Universal next December over NYE. We are planning on staying from 12/28/08-1/2/09. I will be traveling with my DW, DS (6), DS (14) and his friend (14). Which resort would you recommend for the five of us. We have stayed at the HRH and PBH. I know that PBH has the largest rooms and that was the resort I was leaning towards. I was thinking about me and my DW in one bed, the older boys in the 2nd bed, and my 6 year old on an Aerobed. Thoughts? Adjoining rooms would be nice but too pricey. When do you think I need to book by? I have already been told that AAA discount is not available during the holiday season. Any other discounts except the free tickets that are out there?

I would suggest HRH deluxe room that has two queen beds and a pull out couch. There is more room here than in the other hotels.

I agree with the above poster, I also have a family of 5 and stayed deluxe at HRH. The room was extremely spacious, 2 queens and a large pullout. I have twins 11 and a 15 yr old who is over 6' and it more than accomodated us.
Good luck!
