Hi Valerie!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. My family is large, as well, and we always travel to Walt Disney World with quite a group!
There are many great options for accommodations on the Disney property that would work for you but let me tell you about a couple of our favorites.
Disney's Boardwalk Villas,
Disney's Old Key West Villas and
Disney's Beach Club Villas are all amazing choices and the kitchens make it easy to have some meals in your room if you would like and also give you plenty of space for a large group. Sometimes we book several rooms at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or
Disney's Contemporary Resort (two of our favorites!) for the convenience of
Monorail transportation. No matter which Resort you choose, you really can't go wrong.
Since you will be visiting in October of 2017, don't forget to check out
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. You will definitely want to be part of the festivities!
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you.
Have a magical day!
-Nancy-
