Ditto! 2 kids in one room with you can be chaos enough, I don't think I'd do 3 in the room unless it was the only way possible. The convenience of 2 bathrooms, a door to close when they're being a little rowdy, and space to spread out when you just have to seperate them for awhile, all point to two rooms at a Value for me.

I totally agree with wanting to be onsite for the transportation, we hate having to use the car, seems too much like the real world for us.

If you have the finances, I'd go with renting points for a 2-Bdrm DVC. The only downside to your "vacation everything" would be the trash & towel service that DVC has...not everyday...so you might have to wash towels (but washers/dryers are included, which could help your packing if you don't mind doing laundry while there). Otherwise, I agree that the 2 value rooms would be the way to go...enough room to spread out and get some 'break time' for/from your kiddos!

Thank you everyone! The majority of you suggest the two rooms at a value. I traveled with my daughter and mom last time and stayed at the beach club and I guess I got a little spoiled. The previous three trips were at POP and the kids LOVED it. Just missed having a hot tub to sit in at night, but I think the two rooms will be more of a benefit than a hot tub.

Thanks Again - now I just need to wait for the rates to hit in late summer!

What about the family suites? Anyone tried them?

[Jen in Maine]

I am more interested in beds and bathrooms then kitchennettes, but think its a great idea. Wish disney had more affordable options for larger families. Not only do we need two rooms, two of the three kids are considered "adults".

We've wanted to try them, but they are really hard to get. You gotta call like nine bajillion years ahead to get them I think.

That hot tub feels real nice when your back's sore and neck's stiff.

I'm all for renting a villa. My kids ages 15,14, & 12 need the room. I don't know if I could spend a week in even just two rooms. I love having 4 bedrooms, our own pool and I could when I feel like it.
We were usually out the door and in any of the parks within 30 minutes at our last trip.

Thank you!

Yeah, we've looked at them too, and they do look great, but honestly, I'd rather have the 2nd bathroom.

Anything that has 2 bathrooms gets my vote. I have 2 teenage boys and 2 years ago in Disney I noticed that the room was getting smaller because the boys were getting bigger!

Hmmmm. DH and I were talking about this and we could have sworn that one of the bathroom areas was the kitchenette. I guess we'll have to try harder to get one next trip!
