Pop Century for 5?

[r3ngels]

We are thinking of a last minute trip to WDW for March, we don't want to spend too much money (we are doing land and sea in 2005 but NEED a trip now!!) We are a family of 5-2 adults and 3 kids (2,4,7). The 2 year old would still be in a crib. Will we be comfortable or crowded in Pop Century? I have a trip priced out CBR and Pop Century. What would you guys do?

I think you would like to get a connecting room, they will have to like sharing a bed and I don't know if the crib will fit, the beds don't move. Hop on over to the Pop Century FAQ thread but also check out the pictures of PoP rooms http://www.wdwmagic.com/pop_century.htm and this will help you decide. I have not stayed yet - but am going to - so hopefully some more helpful souls will come along.

A few months ago, our family of 5 - 2 adults & 3 kids, ages 7,4, and 2 (sound familiar? ) stayed at All Star Movies for a week in one room. We had no problems at all. Soon enough, we will have to get a deluxe or connecting rooms, so we wanted to take advantage of the cheaper vacation while we had the chance!

We put the pack n play against the window and it really wasn't in the way. Sometimes we even had the carriage in the room with us. As far as the kids sharing a bed, they were so tired after a day in the parks that it was never even an issue.

If you think you will be spending a lot of time in the room this may not be the way to go. But we would definitely do it again and it was worth it to make an on site stay affordable.
