Hello Julie and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
It sounds like you are planning a fun-filled adventure for your entire family! Your first step will be determining the length of your stay. If this is the first visit for most of your group, I recommend seven days. This will allow some time for relaxation and to see as much as possible. Even with seven days, you will need to prioritize based on everyone's "must dos."
Your next step is selecting which Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. With a group of seven, you will need to either select two rooms at any Resort Hotel or a two bedroom villa at one of the Deluxe Villa Resorts. For the ages of the children traveling I would recommend either
Disney's Art of Animation Resort or
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. They both have fantastic theming, and in this case, I would let your budget be your guide.
Once you have determined which Resort Hotel you prefer, I suggest you call the wonderful Cast Members at the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservation Center. They do a fantastic job of helping to secure multiple rooms for one party of travelers. The Reservation Center Cast Member can also help clarify which
Disney Dining Plan is right for you, and will be more than happy to price different options for your group.
And, of course, if you have more questions, come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We love to help!
See ya real soon!
