The only place you can all stay in one unit is a "Home Away From Home" resort -- a Disney Vacation Club resort. A two BR at one of these will fit your family and will be comparable to or cheaper than two rooms at a luxury resort. (I think you may be able to squeeze into a cabin at Fort Wilderness if you like being out in the woods.)

Beach Club Villas and Boardwalk Villas are very close to Epcot and to each other -- a five minute walk to either from your room. There are great restaurants nearby. They both have great pools -- with the Beach Club pool being the best at Disney World. If you want to be in the same unit and can afford the bucks, go with one of these two but reserve ASAP.

Wilderness Lodge Villas also have 2BRs. These would be a better choice if you want to be closer to the Magic Kingdom. They don't have the apres theme park variety that Beach and Boardwalk do on site, but they aren't far from other hotels.



If you don't mind being in separate rooms and don't care about having a kitchen then stay on the monorail -- contemporary, polynesian or grand floridian. It's great to be on the monorail.

Our family trip (8 adults, 1 toddler, l infant) was 9/18-9/24/02. Have you decided on how many rooms you will need? Pairing teens? Need for a crib? We stayed at Port Orleans-Riverside and had a wonderful experience! This resort has "quiet pools" if any of the adults want a quiet swim. The river cruise is great for a family group. If you plan to spend ALL of your time in the parks, then save your money and go for one of the All Stars which happen to be very nice resorts. My personal favorite will always be Port Orleans-R. :sohappy:
