Hi Shawna,
My husband and I have 5 kids and we've done exactly what you are thinking of doing before: We rented 2 connecting
Value Resort rooms. You'll find that the rooms are bright and colorful, with great food courts. In addition, with a large family, you'll really appreciate having 2 bathrooms.
Due to the fact that you have 2 adults and 5 children in your party, you'll be guaranteed connecting rooms. You need to be sure to have the Cast Member make a note of this when reserving your room.
To set up this Package correctly, you'll want to call a Disney Travel Planner directly at 407-W-DISNEY (407-934-7639). You'll need to place a $200 deposit
per room at the time of booking, with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival.
Hope this helps and have a wonderful vacation. Please let me know if I can assist your further,
Kaylene
