Which Value would you suggest, and why?

[DisneyLvr55]

The title says it all!

We are a family of 4 (DD7 & DD8) going next October/November, and looking to stay in a Value. We will be driving down, so bus transportation isn't an issue. My inlaws (and possibly my parents as well) are planning on coming down with us - I know there is no guarentee, but which hotel would we have the "best shot" of getting adjoining rooms at?
So which Value would you suggest for us, and if possible, which section of that value?


TIA!


PS - If you stay on property, do you get free parking in all of the parks??

did you think of maybe renting a DVC hotel. a two bedroom would take care of 8 people. would be nicer . yes if you still on site parking is free, does your car fix 8? maybe taking disney buses would be easier.

if you want to save money than must of the valve ones have connecting rooms.
Would ask the children which would be their faorite because of the hotel looks. kids would be a part of the planning.

Do you rent points through Disney, or an individual? If you have to do it through a person (not Disney) how do you find a reliable person? I don't really get how it works...

Yes you do get free parking on the parks if you are staying on at WDW resort.
I myself LOVE POP! We will be staing at AoA on our next trip, with girls they probably would love the Mermaid rooms.
Where ever you stay I am sure you will have fun

Either POP (80's area) or AoA ( Nemo or Lion King Family Suite)

Definitely POP, it's a fun resort for kids and the bus service is great and doesn't share with other resorts. We've not stayed at Art of Animation yet, but I'm sure it's just as nice as POP and they would attempt to get you adjoining rooms as well.

As far as I know, yes you get free parking at the parks with your resort parking pass in your window (they give you one at check in). We usually take the buses, but I don't think that the free parking has changed if you're staying on property. Here is a All Ears post on parking at Disney: All Ears Parking
