Hi Detlef and welcome to planDisney!
A family of 7 is sure to make beautiful memories at the Walt Disney World Resort. My family travels in a group of at least 10 so we know how to make hotel accommodations work for us. Lucky for us, the Walt Disney World Resort has room for everyone!
2 bedroom villas are going to be a great option for a family your size. They can sleep up to 9 people and are offered at
several Deluxe Disney Resorts Collection hotels. For example, the ones at
Disney's Riviera Resort are absolutely stunning and offer a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, washer, dryer, and a balcony overlooking the courtyard and lake if you opt for a Preferred View room. And with the addition of the
Disney Skyliner, you have access to both EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios via the most magical flight you'll ever take.
Pro tip: Watch hotel tours on the internet! Each hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort has a completely different feel and theme. You could be transported to
a New England seaside retreat or
the savannahs of Africa. The adventure is yours to choose and watching lots of videos always helps me get a clear picture of what will be the best fit for my family.
Detlef, your family is going to have a beautiful time. Make memories and enjoy this special time together!
Happy planning!
Taylor
