We will be returning to DW for the first time since our family has grown to 7 (2 adults, kids ages ranging from 14 to 4 at the time of our trip). I do not want to have to sell one of the kids to pay for the trip, though the thought had occurred to me. I have two separate but related questions. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
1. The cabins seem an attractive alternative to more expensive lodgings. How strict are the powers that be about enforcing the 6-to-a-cabin rule? I understand we'd be cramped, but half the time I wake up in the am with the 4-year-old wedged inbetween me and she-who-must-be-obeyed anyway.
2. One alternative if we can't swing 7-to-a-cabin is to rent a cabin and a campsite, with there to be a nightly competition over who gets/has to sleep in the tent. What are the chances of getting a cabin close to a particular campsite? Then, of course, we're probably looking at renting a golf cart to go along with things, which will increase the per-diem for the campsite idea by over $100 per day. I'd appreciate any comments from someone who has tried this before.
3. Our main goal is to be within easy commuting distance of the Magic Kingdom. We subscribe to the "early up and back for a nap" school of touring, plus we're "full immersion" junkies, so we would like to remain in the world if possible. Any reasonable alternatives to the above would be appreciated. I'm afraid we'd be disappointed by double rooms at an all-star resort, so your comments if you've tried that would be appreciated as well.
thanks
