My wife and I will are planning a vacation to Disney in August of 2017. On said trip, we intend on bringing our three kids (ages 6, 3 [nearly 4], and 18 months at time of travel). We also plan on bringing my sister-in-law, If it makes a difference, my wife and I are in our early thirties and my sister-in-law will be in her later twenties.
When we were originally looking, my sister-in-law was not part of the plans and there seemed to be a wide variety of options for rooms that would sleep 4 (plus one in a crib/pack-n-play), but for rooms that will sleep 5 (plus one in a crib/pack-n-play) options seem to be much more limited.
My wife and I have been to the parks before, but for everyone else, it will be a first time trip so we for sure want to stay on property. Since we have younger kids, it's likely we will be coming back to the hotel mid-day for breaks/naps, so that's always something to consider.
We originally (when my sister-in-law was not part of the plan) really wanted to stay at Wilderness Lodge, but it seems that the only room they would let us book at that resort to accommodate the number/age of guests we have is a club level suite which goes for about $750 (un-discounted) a night and that's a bit out of our price range.
So, now we're looking at a Nemo Suite at Art of Animation. The rooms comfortably sleep six adults and have two bathrooms, a great pool, and I think the kids would love the decorations. All for about $300 less a night than the room we would need at Wilderness Lodge.
My question is... are we missing another obvious option that we may have overlooked? Or is a Nemo Suite the best option we have without spending >$600 a night for a suite/double room somewhere else? I see that some of the deluxe hotels have rooms that sleep 5, but I see that typically the fifth is in a tiny, kids size bed.. are we going to feel too cramped in one of those, especially when adding a crib for the infant?
