will we be too crowded???? About This Page:

[2disney2005]

We currently have two rooms reserved at POP for 12/3-12/10. There is Me&DH,DS-2, and DS&DN both 10. DH and I have been considering cancelling one room and using the money we will save to purchase the dining plan. His take on it is we will only be there to sleep anyway, I am just worried that we will be way too crowded in one room, has anyone done this? I know that 5 are allowed as long as one is a child under 3 so that isn't a problem, would like to hear from some of you experts on the subject, seems like lately I am second guessing everthing we have planned!!! Thanks in advance for any advice...

We stayed at ASMovies May 2004. There was my DH and two children 10 & 8 and the room was very crowded. We came back to the hotel each day for a break. We either hit the pool or just relaxed for a couple of hours. We found the room to be too small for us.
Next year we are staying at AKL where the rooms are much larger. I would think that two connecting rooms would give you much needed space.

The Value resort rooms are very small and, by the time you cram in the portable crib for your two-year-old, there won't be enough room left to swing a cat. If you can swing it financially, I think you'll be a lot more comfortable in two adjoining rooms.

We usually sleep 3 or 4 grown ups in a room and one child. It has been okay, not too much trouble. Last year we got two rooms at POP and we had more room than we knew what to do with. Although, there were times when the extra bath helped. My two DS7-22 both wanted to stay with my sister, so me and DH stayed in a room to ourselves, although he was sick with bronchitous the whole time. I think ya'll would have plenty of room with just one room. Just my opinion.

I would stick with the two rooms, value resorts are great as they are economical but space wise they are small. Plus with that many people having two bathrooms might be better so you can get all the kids ready for bed without hassle. Plus if you want to have some of them nap you can use one room for napping the other for watching tv and keeping quiet.

Have a good trip no matter what you decide!

have you looked into your options of rooms at a moderate level? seems to be that for around the same price, you might be able to get a large enough single room plus the dining plan.

"swing a cat"

I vote for the 2 rooms, absolutely. Three kids, after a long
day at the park on top of on another can be difficult. You
or DH may want to relax & watch the news, read the paper. With
the second room the kids can play, nap or watch a Disney movie.
Two bathrooms is really going to make your vacation easier.

**If you really can't swing both & want the meal plan CBeach
is the largest moderate.

I say two rooms. We have done two rooms with our 4 kids the last two trips and it has been so nice. We could come back to the room and relax in our room and the kids would go to theres. At bed time we didn't have to go to bed at the same time they did too. Plus it was nice having the 2 bathrooms.

Another vote for the 2 rooms - more floor space for the crib, luggage, etc. and you'll have more space to put your clothes away. The second bathroom will make all the difference getting yourselves ready to go in the morning without tons of delays.

if it is your first trip ever to DW, i'd make sure it was a really pleasant experience, keep the two rooms.

Thanks everyone for all the replys. I think we will keep the 2 rooms...just seems like you just can't go wrong with the extra space. As for the dining plan, we may just skip it, i don't know that we would come out ahead with 2 10yr olds who will probably eat very little anyway. Thanks again!

My 10 year old ate so little during our trip...I wondered whether she felt OK (and 10 yr olds pay adult prices). Thank goodness we weren't paying for the plan. I think you made a good decision.
