Hi Monica,
First things first, the Moms Panel only offers planning advice for Disney World in Florida, not Disneyland in California. If you really meant to ask about Disney World, this would be my suggestion:
- Whether a vacation package for a family of is more expensive for a family of five versus a family of four depends on the ages of the family members. Children under the age of three are free for most Disney World experiences and, if they sleep in a crib, are free in any Disney resort hotel. This means that a family of five with a baby would cost the same as a family of four. However, if all members of the family are over the age of three, then yes, the family of five will be more expensive.
- There are a number of room options for families of five or more at all price levels. You can read more about this
HERE.
- If price and privacy are you main concerns, the best on-site option at Disney World is the Family Suites at the All Star Music Resort. The Family Suites at the All Star Music resorts are a great option for
budget-minded or larger groups. The suites sleep up to six people in two separate rooms and
include a small kitchenette. The kitchenette makes it extremely easy to
have a quick breakfast in the room. And as an added bonus, the suites
include two bathrooms which can make getting ready for the day MUCH
faster.
