Welcome to planDisney, Michele! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. Planning a trip with your grown-up crew sounds like so much fun, and I totally get wanting to strike that perfect balance between comfort and value. With four adults, you're definitely going to want plenty of space and at least four beds, and luckily, you've got a couple of great options that don't fall into that super extravagant category.
One option I'd recommend is two rooms at a
Moderate Resort, like
Caribbean Beach. This resort gives you a great mix of immersive theming and upgraded amenities, and the
Skyliner access is a huge bonus. It makes getting to
EPCOT and
Hollywood Studios a breeze! Booking two rooms there means you'd have four beds and two bathrooms, which is perfect for a group of four adults. Prices vary based on the season, but it's often a pretty affordable option, and you still get that elevated resort experience.
On the other hand, if you're leaning more toward togetherness and you're interested in having some communal space, a Two-Bedroom Villa at
Saratoga Springs is another fantastic option. Depending on the time of year and available offers, it might be closer in price to two moderate rooms than you'd expect. You'll get a full kitchen, washer and dryer, spacious living area, and access to the
Extended Evening Hours perk exclusive to
Deluxe Resort guests. That alone can give you extra, quieter time in the parks, which is totally worth it if you're night owls! I've got a stay coming up here this fall with four of my girlfriends, and it was a surprisingly affordable alternative to getting a few rooms at a Value or Moderate Resort.
No matter which route you go, I'd recommend keeping an eye on the
Special Offers page. Disney rolls out some incredible deals throughout the year, especially for travel coming up this fall, and snagging one of those can really stretch your budget further.
I hope this answers your question, Michele, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
