Which resort for a family of 6?

[Michigan RN]

Does anyone have suggestions for a resort that will accomodate 6 of us. I have 3 teens with me - so I want a place that will keep them busy. Thanks

The Fort Wilderness cabin hold 6, other than that I think you'd need to get 2 rooms anywhere else. I've never stayed at Ft. Wilderness, but have been there for the buffet, petting farm, and other activities, and there seems to be a lot to do.

How about the Swan?

Hi!
If you are a nurse, and I am guessing that you are from your signature, you can get a great rate at the Swan -$129 plus $10 fee and tax - and would be in the middle of the Epcot resort area, which is a good place for teens to be, with many things to do. Two rooms at a deluxe hotel within walking distance to Epcot and MGM and a great selection of restaurants and entertainment sounds good to me. Having stayed twice at the BWI, we are biased in favor of that location. Only, of course, if this fits into your budget. We will be at the Swan July 4th-11th and looking forward to it. Bob

You could also look into renting points for a stay at one of the DVC resorts -- they have villa's that accommodate up to 12 people. Check out the DVC RENT/TRADE board right here on the DISboards

All the 2 Bedroom Disney Vacation Club Villas will hold up to 8 people. The Beach Club Villas and the Boardwalk Villas are both walking distance to Epcot and MGM. There is also the Old Key West Villas and the Villas at Wilderness Lodge.

Another options is two get two adjacent rooms at an Value All Stars resort. This will give you two toilets, two sinks, two showers, 4 beds, two televisions, two refrigerators(if needed), two safes, and did I mention TWO. Two rooms at a value resort can be cheaper than other resorts.

We loved the 2br! One bedroom has two full/queen and it's own bath- and the other bedroom had a King sized bed with a great jacuzzi tub. We had a nice sized living room where all the kids stayed lounging when they were tired and a great kitchen/breakfast area. You can find good deals on this if you keep up on the codes. We loved the transportation - the buses were very timely and quick.
Another option would be to get two rooms at another resort- AS is the most inexpensive but it can get loud there- I would compare a 2BR to 2 rooms at Wilderness Lodge or AKL if you can swing it- they have adjoining rooms I'm sure. I just liked the convenience of having a kitchen- we did rent a car and ate most our meals at our place- if you plan to eat most your meals away from your hotel- then I'd probably opt for the 2 rooms at a nice themed resort- Have a great time!

We have 6 in our group this trip. We are booked at ASMo 2 rooms.

We have never stayed in the vaule resorts but for the price we are going to try it.

I first had us booked in 2 rooms at POR for 4 nights but my oldest DS16 wanted to stay 5 nights and asked to stay at a value resort.

We dicussed it and changed. Not only did we get an extra day at the parks but it was $500 cheaper to do it.

Now if the codes would come out and we are able to use them on our existing reservations.

I was at WDW with a party of six. The First time in 2000 we all got one room at the double tree suites on hotel blvd. There is 2 double bed and a pull-out sofa bed. The other time we got two rooms at the CBR.
