Saving money with 4 kids

[HeatherinVT]

Im asking for a friend who really wants to go to Disney and prefers to stay on site

Its her, DH and 4 children

I also have four Children that will be 2,6,8,and 10 when we go in June. Have you looked at the value resorts? That is where we stayed on our first trip. We had connecting rooms. I do not know what we paid. It was last October.

Hi Heather! You're so nice to offer to help your friend find accommodations at Disney. With 4 children so close in age, I'm sure that she has her hands full!

There are no value resorts that will sleep all 6 people in a singel room but you can get connecting (not adjoining) rooms at any resort. AllStar Sports, Movies or Music or Pop Century will probably do just fine.

The nightly rate will depend upon when they decide to go (value season, regular seasn, peak season or holiday season). Naturally, value season will be the cheapest. Rooms at the Value resorts during value season are $77/night. But if your friend has AAA, the rate drops to $62/night.

If that's still not affordable for them, then going offsite may be their only option. A pretty nice resort in the Downtown Disney area is the Buena Vista Suites. See this MouseSavers.com link for a description and special rates.

The suites sleep up to 6 people, so they would only need one room. It's worthy of consideration.
