[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the hotels sleep 6 so it easy to bring grandma/others to keep cost down[/quote]

The ones that can sleep 6 are the most expensive.
2 bedroom suites (club level in the deluxe resorts) run at least $2000/night 
"Family suites" in All Star Music or Art of Animation run at least $300/night (typically more, but sometimes you can find a discount during value seasons)
2+ bedroom "villas" in the Disney Vacation Club (timeshare) are at least $950/night at the cheapest (Old Key West)

But I don't know how bringing an extra person helps keep cost down.   If I'm bringing "Grandma" or someone else and expecting them to share a pullout sofa with one of my kids, I'm not going to ask them to chip in on the costs!
If anything, the extra park ticket, meals, etc. will increase the price.[/quote]
[b]You’re lumping a $300-500 hotel in with the rest of them.[/b] It may not be coming in the DC area, but where I’m from (“flyover country”) it’s not uncommon for grandparents to go in half on a vacation. I did this at a similar destination when my son was young because my parents aren’t wealthy enough to pay for a whole vacation and we didn’t have extra money either. My mother is young. It was
 not an issue for her to sleep on a pullout sofa with our son, they had an awesome time. I think a lot of families are like ours in how they travel and many of them go to Disney. [/quote]

Can you explain what you mean by the bolded?    What is "the rest of them?"
A pp said that some of the hotels sleep 6, so I was merely listing all of the types that do.   [/quote]
You said "The ones that can sleep 6 are the most expensive." and then listed one relatively low cost hotel with other expensive ones. I'd say they don't belong in the same category. You can get a room that sleeps 6 that doesn't fall into the most expensive category. [/quote]
