We are a family of five. My daughter will be 14 when we return to Disney in February. My twin boys will be 13. In the past, we have stayed at the Caribbean and have loved it (preferred room, so the size of the CBR never affected us). One of my boys has loved the Murphy bed, so that bed isn’t a concern.
I was going to book a room at Port Orleans Riverside, just for something different. My kids have loved the pool at the CBR, and I love the slightly lower price, so I was still considering a return there. It appears that the preferred rooms we have stayed in before were demolished during the construction at CBR, so I’m not sure how close to the food court or main pool their preferred rooms are now. Someone suggested the family suites at AoA, so I checked them out and they look decent. I love the idea of a little more space and two bathrooms, but am a little unsure of the pull out beds from the couches (comfortable?). Spending more than the suites at AoA would cost (they would be the most expensive of these three options) isn’t an option, so I think these three are what I need to choose from.
If you have stayed at any or all of these three resorts, were you happy with your choice? I think my main concerns are the following:
*buses to the parks (is it common to have to wait a while for a bus?)
*cool pool for the kids that will forget they’re young teenagers when we are at Disney
*comfortable beds for all
*decent food at the resort
*space for the five of us, especially as our kids are getting older/bigger (AoA has the edge for this one)
Opinions?
