Sun 12/30/2007 3:09p | We are planning a trip but need a room that will sleep 5. My son will be 19 and we have 13 year old twins. Which resort would be the best for us. We are on a budget also. We have never been before so we don't know where to start. |

I can say that the least expensive rooms for up to six on-property are the All-Star Music family suites.

Mon 12/31/2007 2:19a | I would say on a budget, then stay at All Star Music. However, if you want a little more luxury, any of the 2 bedroom DVC units would be perfect. The master bedroom has a king, the 2nd bedroom has 2 beds, and there is a sofa bed in the living room. plus you get a whirlpool tub.
They are available at the Beach Club and Boardwalk near Epcot, Wilderness Lodge near the MK, Animal Kingdom Lodge, as well as Old Key West and Saratoga Springs near DTD.
Otherwise, you could rent a private villa offsite, or Marriott have wonderful villas for rent all over Orlando.
Some of the deluxes claim to sleep five, using two beds and a day bed, but that is really a better option for little ones in my experience. |

Wed 1/2/2008 7:56a | We have 5 people and a 2 1/2 year old and will be staying at the cabins at Fort Wilderness. I heard they are pretty roomy and they have a full kitchen (although we won't be using it for cooking anything). Hope this helps. |

Wed 1/2/2008 12:41p | I'm not sure what season you are going to be there but you might be able to get 2 cheap rooms at the All-Stars Resorts for less than a DVC room. Then you and hubby can have your own room and put the kids in a room next to you. |

Wed 1/2/2008 12:51p | The advantage of a DVC unit or a cabin at Ft. Wilderness is that those options have a kitchen. So while more expensive on the front end than a suite at the ASMu, you could cook some meals in your room, saving money on food. I just don't want to cook on vacation. ;) |

Mon 1/21/2008 5:54p | Don't forget that you can put 5 people in certain buildings at Port Orleans Riverside. It might be an in-between option. |

Mon 1/21/2008 6:47p | On a related topic, does anyone know the procedure for reserving two rooms? I have poked at every remotely relevant part of WDW's webpage, but I can't figure out a way to reserve two rooms for our group of 8. |

Mon 1/21/2008 9:39p | I don't have any answer, but wanted to pipe in my agreement with markymouse's complaint. I have tried so hard to price 2 rooms for our family of six and WDW's webpage can't do it. It's so frustrating! |
