Family of 7: teens, young adults, and adults. Probably traveling early June 2021. Might not be able to book until December/January with work/school schedules available.
DH and I -- not a vacation unless we have a little privacy
Our daughter and son-in-law (ages 22 and 24) -- daughter has back problems and needs a real bed.
2 sons ages 25 and 16 -- too big to share a bed.
1 daughter age 19 -- petite
Please tell me if I am missing any better options or major considerations. I am weighing pros/cons for these:
THREE MODERATE ROOMS at POR or CBR
DH and I in one room, DD/SIL in one room, 3 single kids in one with 5-foot-2 daughter on the fold-down bed.
Pro/con: Easier to book/modify/cancel than DVC rental, CBR has Skyliner, probably slightly more expensive than DVC, better CS food court.
TWO BEDROOM DVC plus 1 STUDIO (ok with OKW or SSR depending on how late I book. maybe AKL)
Pro/con: Full kitchen, central living room to sprawl out in. Nicer resort overall. Daughter would be on fold-out couch in main area.
About us: Probably would stay a week total. NOT interested in offsite for big-group logistics and 60-day FP. We are Disneyland regulars (I'd consider myself a DL expert). Kids were last at WDW in 2011 (ages 6-15) and SIL has never been. DH and I were at WDW in 2014. We are rope-drop type tourers who love Star Wars and ride everything. We would likely stay together at least for the first half of each day and many meals. We probably wouldn't do much cooking even if we had the DVC kitchen -- mainly cold breakfast and snacks that would fit in a moderate fridge.
Looking at late May/early June for best crowds and weather available with kids school/job schedules.
Thanks for any advice,
