Welcome to planDiseny Rebecca. Thanks for stopping by with your question. I have a family of 5 and we have stayed at a bunch of incredible locations across the property.
Walt Disney Resort is a beautiful place for families to reconnect. A group of 8 is a good number in my opinion. This amount of people allows your family to stay in two separate rooms of four and four. You can also try a Family Suite which sleeps up to 6 and an additional room for the additional 2 or 3 adults. Disney's Art of Animation Resort is on the
Disney Skyliner route.
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT are just a short gondola ride away. Another Value Resort option is
Disney's All-Star Music Resort and this resort is always rocking.
The Calypso Pool is the featured pool and is in the shape of a guitar. The Three Caballeros overlook all of the fun that goes on. When you start to look to book your reservation make sure you check the
Special Offers page. This is where I usually find all the great deals.
If you are visiting in January check out The
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This festival has all of the arts on display, and one of the most popular is the
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. The performances here are just as good as they are on Broadway. There is street art each year and the artists usually have art on display for sale. The Food Studios scattered throughout World Showcase feature some of the most beautiful plates that are only matched by the taste. No dates have been announced yet for this festival but you can keep an eye on the
Disney Park Blog for any announcements.
I hope this information is helpful when you set up your family visit to "The Most Magical Place on Earth." Please do not hesitate to visit us again at
planDisney.com and we will be happy to help.
Have a magical day,
Jeremy A.
