Hi Victoria!
Families of five are often looking for the best options for their WDW accommodations.
Port Orleans French Quarter is an absolutely charming resort. It's a perfect choice for a family with young children due to the resort's smaller size. With less walking, only one bus stop, and a food court not far from any building, you'll find POFQ to be an excellent resort choice!
My family has stayed here several times and always find the atmosphere welcoming. If your six year old likes to swim, the pool will be a lot of fun. Take the riverboat to Downtown Disney for a fun evening. And don't forget to indulge in some beignets. Yum!
Let me help clarify room occupancies at WDW for you.
In addition to the maximum occupancy number, families may also have a child under age 3 sleeping in a crib. For Port Orleans French Quarter, you can have 4 people plus a child under 3. Thus, your family will be able to stay in one room!
