Hi, Janet!
Thanks for reaching out to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! My family has a stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge on our bucket list!
When it comes to staying at that resort with five people, a
one or two-bedroom suite looks like the best option in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It is probably not the most affordable spot to stay with a group of five. If you check out the
Disney World guide on visiting with five or more guests, you can see there are some really neat family suites. When my family of four included my brother in a visit to Walt Disney World Resort room, we booked a Finding Nemo family suite at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort. It was a really fun resort and we had ample room for all five of us.
I highly recommend looking at the dates you want to stay in Disney World and use the reservation tool to compare and contrast different hotel options.
I hope that helps and you're able to plan an unforgettable visit! Let me know if I can help with any additional questions.
-Jen
