how old are the kids?

How old is your youngest? If he or she is under 3, you can stay anywhere at all.

If not, your choices include:

-Family Suites at All Star Music
- Port Orleans Riverside-- they have trundle beds
- Most of the deluxes have a daybed that can accomodate a 5th person.
- The cabins at Fort Wilderness

(By the way, are you AAA members? Their discount makes all of those choices much more palatable.)

The WL and AKL are nice deluxes and the best value deluxes.
But if the 5th kid is over 3 you would have to get deluxe rooms there or suites. What kind of themeing are you looking for? Do you plan on a room only or a package with tickets and dining?

What's your budget like? Value/Mod/Deluxe??

Getting 2 rooms at a value is the least expensive option. It is less expensive than getting the family suite at ASMu. They do offer connecting rooms and with 2 rooms you get 2 bathrooms which is a help when getting ready in the morning or bathing kids in the evening.

If you have a AAA membership you can get between 10% - 20% off the resort depending on the level of resort and the season.

Sorry I should have added more info.
The kids will be 7,6 and 2 1/2 when we go.
I do have AAA, we will just be doing hotel not a package

I would say value/moderate
We have only stayed at the nick hotel the last few times so I am used to the 2 bedroom thing.

CSR! Great playground and main pool area for all the kids. The transportation is awesome too!

If your 2 1/2 yr will sleep in a pack n' play then you can stay in 1 room at any resort. If you want a bit of space you best bet is the 2 rooms at a value level resort. If you go during value season you can get 20% off the rooms with the AAA discount. When you call to make the ressie ask for the 'AAA rate'. Have the card handy because they will ask for the number.

With one of your children being under 3 you can stay anywhere......you may want to do a moderate resort just for a bit of extra room (the rooms at the CBR are the largest of the moderate resorts). Really just depends on your budget if you want to do value, moderate or deluxe.

OK, that 2.5 year old makes things a WHOLE lot easier.

If your older kids are into swimming, take a look at the pool at POR. A friend is staying there in August, and her kids are salivating already to get into that pool. I've read lots of great reviews of it.
