Okay, so as the oficial trip planner of my family, i have a few questions 4 you all.

We have 11 kids, 3 teens, and 7 adults going with us. The kids/ teens range in age from 3- 17.
The families...

Michael and Jenifer Bilianes ( Rachel,Jessica, Justin)
Melinda and Joshua Seero ( Samantha, Alexander, Brett, Paige)
Sylvia and Howard Sugarman ( Alyssa, Kimberly, me, Austin)
Marianna Gieen ( Ariella, Rosalyn)

WE are trying to stay all in one hotel but we need at least 7 rooms. What hotel do you think would be okay?> Our price range is about 150- 350 dollars a night and were staying for a week. OUr pririties are a family friendly hotel with a very nice pool. Other things we would like are a spa, at least one table service resteraunt, and a babysitting service so the adults can enjoy a night out. Any ideas?

Welcome to the DIS!!!
You might want to post this on the resorts board too for more help from the folks over there!

In your post you say you want to have an adults night and a child care place at the resort. Just an FYI for all Disney kids clubs the children have to be 4-12 and potty trained. You could also look into the babysitting services that come to the room. I'm sure someone who knows about that would be happy to help with some info on that. You could also do a search on this board. If you want a place that has a spa, table service and child care at the resort,(all WDW resorts are kid friendly IMHO)then the first resort that comes into mind is the GF(grand floridian). Not sure if it will fall into your budget because you didn't say when you plan to go! Another option would be SSR(saratoga springs) they have a spa, table service will be open by this summer and also a short walk or boat ride to DtD(downtown disney) I have stayed at both and love them both! GF will have the monorail to MK and Epcot, so that would be a plus.
You can also request that you all atleast be on the same floor in rooms next to eachother. They won't gaurantee it butyou can ask it to be put on your ressie. Will you be making the ressies and all at once? That might help. So, to be able to help you more how about telling us when you plan to go and if the spa and kid club is an absolute must at your resort. If not then there are so many options!

I would recommend the Poly. The monorail is right there and all of the other things you want to satisfy the group you are traveling with. One question...,have you tried to book a Great Gathering or Grand Gathering? It is a large group package Disney has. I don't know much about it but it might help with your planning.

I highly recommend the Port Orleans (French Quarter or Riverside)!! We love the fact that you can jump right on the river boat that and go to Downtown Disneyand Pleasure Island. Depending on what time of year you go, this feature is especially nice in the evenings when the parks close "early", so that you can explore DT Disney - shop, eat, etc.

They have nice pools and a great food court. This is a great resort for the $$.

Happy planning!
