resort that sleeps 5

[brad3640]

can anyone tell me which resorts can accomodate 5 people. My mother in law usually travels with us to disney and for the past two years. My youngest son now is turning 3 so we will need a room that accomdates 5. we usually stay in value resorts to save money does anyone know if there are any moderate resorts that sleep 5.
Thanks in advance.

Port Orleans, has some rooms that sleep 5 (on a trundle bed) and it's one of the best values at WDW, but be warned...once you do it, you'll never be satisfied with a value resort again.

Resorts that sleep 5....
All Star Family Suite
POR - some with trundle
AKL/WL - some "deluxe" rooms have 2 Q and daybed (although I thought I read that those are no longer avail or are only avail as DVC)
DVC Villas - some sleep 5
GF, Poly, CR - all have 2Q, daybed option
Fort Wilderness Cabins
Good Luck - have fun!

thanks for the tip money wise is there much difference?

Yes, there is a difference.
All Star Family Suites is a Value resort and is less expensive than
POR which is a moderate and is less expensive than
AK/WL - GF, Poly, CR which are deluxe.

DVC Villas may be a good deal - if you rent points from members. Check out the DVC link on the main DIS forum.

DVC Villas:
Most one bedrooms sleep four plus one under the age of three. Only the AKV has one bedrooms that sleep five and provide bedding for five.

All two bedrooms sleep at least 8.

If you stay anywhere other than DVC or All Stars Family Suites, you will have to pay the extra adult fee as well.

Coronado Springs also has a junior suite that sleeps up to 6!

For a little extra $$ The Boardwalk Inn and The Wilderness Lodge have deluxe rooms that sleep up to 6 also!

Family Suite info:

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) in Sept. of 2006.

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

They have a stap and with a gental one handed pull they open right up. They also fold very easily.

Note:

Mousekeeping will make up the each day and close them for you.
If you decide to close them in the morning to make more room--mousekeeping will pull them back out to make them up and then close them back up.up.

Info thread--Pullouts in Family Suites at ASMU with photos of how the pullout is supported.

Here is the layout of the Family Suites:

They:

-Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)
-Studio amenities and separate sleeping areas giving more privacy than a standard room.
-Queen bed, full-size pullout sofa, convertible ottoman & chair sleepers (4 separate sleepers)
-Private master bedroom and family room have 27” flat CRT TV and high speed Internet access.
-Kitchenette with microwave, small refrigerator (4.3 cu. ft) and coffee pot
-Two-full bathrooms

Actually, POR is about $20/cheaper per night than the All Star Suites.

The cheapest choice for families of 5 is POR.
