[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the op, but I would appreciate the pp's advice:

Where should a family with four kids stay on property? Kids are: infant, 2.5, 5 and 9.  We love the boardwalk inn and I came across a site that listed a club level suite for six, but it doesn't always come up on Disney searches. The new suites at the animation property seem bizarre with tables that become beds (why didn't they just make real suites with multiple double or queen beds?).[/quote]

Hi!  I'm the PP.  I agree, I didn't like the way most of the beds in the new Art of Animation resort require you create the bed out of something else.   From what I've heard, it's wonderful, and assembling the beds at night is no problem...but I'm still reluctant to try it.

We are also a family of 6!   And the last time we went to Disney as a family, we stayed at the Boardwalk Inn.   We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite in the club level--the Master bedroom had a King size bed and a huge bathroom (whirlpool tub, separate shower, etc).   The second bedroom had two Queens and "regular" bathroom (with a tub/shower combo, 2 sinks outside the main bathroom, etc.)   Then there was a living room area with a small table and chairs set (seats 4) a little kitchenette area (just a micro, sink, mini fridge, some type of pod or Keurig coffee maker, and some counter/drawer space).   There was also an additional 1/2 bath there.    I'm pretty sure that all the suites like this type face the courtyards/garden--no water views and they start somewhere around $1400/night, more during the busier seasons.
There are two other large suites--Presidential and Vice Presidential (another family member was staying in the VP during our trip, so I got to see that one).   The VP one was set up mostly like ours except the living area was much bigger--the dining table was a true dining table that could sit 6 or 8?  Also, they both have large balconies that over look the boardwalk/lake.  I imagine the Presidential suite is even more grand.

There are also "Deluxe" rooms that sleep 6---more like a standard room with 2 Queen beds plus a sitting area with a pull out sofa.  These start at $630/night and I've heard they all have Boardwalk views...

If you're not getting these in your results when trying to book, I would just call Disney and book over the phone...they may be able to reserve one for you... If your dates can be flexible, you may want to try adjusting your trip in either direction to see if it opens up availability....

I have to go to a meeting right now, but I'll come back and post more later!  :)[/quote]
