I have a famiy of 5, which is the best Disney World Resort to stay at? Which is the cheapest?

Answer 1

With 5 people your going to need a family suite at one of the values or step up to a room at one of the moderates like port orleans where they allow 5 people. As stated give the good folks at Disney a call and they will take care of you very well.

Answer 2

Having a family of five at Disney can be a bit of a challenge, there are several options. It all figures out to what will suit your budget best, what benefits are most important, how much space you want, etc. Here are your options

VALUE RESORTS (Pop Century, All Star Movies, All Star Music and All Star Sports):

At the value resorts the rooms accomodate 4 guests and an infant (all rooms can hold the maximum guests plus one infant, under two, in a crib. So, if you have anyone under two traveling with you, you will only need one room) So at the value resort you will need to get two rooms. If you have children traveling, anyone 17 and under, Disney does guarentee connecting rooms, so you don't need to worry about that. This will be one of the least expensive options, but not the least expensive.


You also have the All Star Music Family suites, currently only at the Music resort but is supposed to be expanding soon. These rooms hold 6 guests. Basically, Disney combined two of the value rooms to make it one suite and added a little kitchenette. The family suites cost a little more than two value rooms, but you do get the little kitchen. The biggest problem with the family suites is that Disney does not discount them. That means, if you book the family suite and a discount comes out for your dates, the family suites will not lower in cost, you would either need to pay full rate or switch to another resort.




MODERATE RESORTS (Coronado Springs, Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside)

Again, you can do two rooms at the moderate resorts, but this would be higher than two values, the main difference is you would have more space.

You also have the option of Riverside, some of the rooms offer the addition of a trundle bed, allowing the room to accomodate five guests. The trundle bed is a little small, so Disney recommends it for children 9 and under, I've heard mixed reviews, some people say they wouldn't put anyone over 4 or 5 in them, others say they have older children and there is no problem, so it just depends how comfortable you think it would be for your child. This would be your least expensive option, but you would have a total of five people in the room, when sharing one bathroom, having suitcases and things in the room, it can get a little crazy, so it may be worth spending a little extra to get the extra room.



Another option is the Wilderness Cabin and the Wilderness Campgrounds. This would be a little more expensive than the All Star Music Family Suite, but you have more space, a large kitchen, etc.



You also have the deluxe resorts and villas as an option, but the resorts I listed above are the most economical options.


So, in summary:

Least Expensive option: Port Orleans Riverside, one room

Next in price: Two value resort rooms

Next in price: One All Star Music Family Suite

Two moderate rooms and Wilderness Cabins will run close in price, but I'm not sure which would be more costly, off the top of my head I believe two moderates would be more, but I am not 100% sure.

Most expensive: Deluxe resorts and the Disney villas.



Hope this helps, I will include a link to a really great site for info on planning your vacation.


If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.

Answer 3

I recommend the All Star Music resort. They have suites at reasonable rates. The All Star resorts are the value resorts inside Disney. The suites are two rooms combined into a lviing space and seperate bedroom, kitchen, frig, etc. The bedroom has two double beds but the sofa & chair in the living space open to beds.
I hope this information helps you out.

Answer 4

Check with the Disney website. Some of the on site hotels only allow 4pp to a room. Stay at 1 of the moderate resorts and get the trundle bed and all 5 can stay in 1 room. Stay at the All Stars Resorts and get 2 rooms, it may be a little more that way than the moderates but, you have 2 baths. Very important for females. I personally liked Coronado Springs. Great pool slide.
