Which Resort?

[Tink&PrincessMom]

We are a family of 7 altogether. Which is the best resort to stay in? Do we have to stay in a villa or are any of the resort rooms big enough for all of us? Thanks for any help!!!

For a family of 7 you will need either 2 adjoining rooms or a villa. Families seem to rave about the Villas at Wilderness Lodge. Depending on the ages of your kids, you may want to stay at one of the resorts on the monorail, however (Polynesian, Grand Floridian and Contemporary). I LOVE the GF and also the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I think two adjoining savanna view rooms at AKL would be awesome as well- especially if the idea of animals appeals. Personally, I would read up on the different resorts and pick the one that is most appealing to you and then see if they offer Villas. Otherwise go with 2 rooms. Disney rooms hold 4 or 5 guests only.

If you are looking to save a bit why not try to rent points for a DVC resort. You can get a 2 bd rm for the price of 1 hotel room depending on what time of year and how long you want to stay. We have rented before and it was a great experience! Here are a few links to help explaine the process:

Here's a link to a great site that can help you decide which resort/villa will work for you. It has lots of pictures too.

One more idea. If you have a little one under 3, you can stay in the FW cabins. They hold 6 + 1 crib.

Of cource, you'd still just have 1 bathroom & 1 TV. But you would have a kitchen & outside grill if you'd like to save some $$$ on food.

Where ever you stay, you're bound to have a wonderful time.
