When you travel with five or more people, finding a Walt Disney World resort that fits your party size and budget can be a challenge.

Should you stay in one room or two? Which is best for you: a regular room, a suite, or a villa? What are your various options?

Families of 5 at a Value Resort or Moderate Resort

Depending on your travel dates, booking two rooms at a Disney Value Resort (All-Star Movies, Music, Sports, Pop Century, or Mermaid Rooms at Disney’s Art of Animation) can be the least expensive option for larger families who want extra space. At a total of 520 sq ft, these two rooms will sleep up to 8 people in four double beds with two bathrooms. Connecting rooms provide adults with a place to relax after putting the kids to bed. Disney will only guarantee connecting rooms if there are more children than adults in your party. (Note that children under age 3 in a crib do not count toward the total occupancy in any Walt Disney World resort.)

A family of five can stay in one room at Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside or Disney’s Caribbean Beach. Both are Disney Moderate Resorts with bedding in select room categories that include two queen beds and a bunk-size pull-down bed recommended for a child under age 10.

The rooms are 300 – 314 sq ft, and amenities include a TV, coffee maker, vanity with two sinks, and a small refrigerator. (Royal rooms fit up to four guests.)

The Finding Nemo, Cars, or Lion King Suites are 565 sq ft and include two bathrooms, a separate bedroom with a queen-size bed, a double-size sleeper sofa in the living room, and a double-size Inova table bed near the kitchenette.

Kids will love the larger-than-life Disney and Pixar icons, plus a gigantic feature pool/play area spanning 11,859 sq ft.

How would you like to rough it, Disney-style? At 504 sq ft, a cozy cabin at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort can hold up to six guests. Each unit is a separate dwelling with a private patio and parking for one car. The cabins are homey, with a living room area including a TV and 1 Queen-Size Pull-Down Bed, a separate bedroom with a queen bed and bunk beds, and one bathroom.

If you like to prepare meals, there is a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher, utensils, cookware, plates, etc.

Families of 5 at a Disney Deluxe Resort

If convenience is your top priority, your party of five might consider a Disney Deluxe Resort, including the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Polynesian, Yacht and Beach Club, and Boardwalk Inn. These luxurious hotels are located either on the Monorail, within walking distance, a short boat, Skyliner, or bus ride to the theme parks.
