Hi Gary!
That's great to hear that you're planning a vacation to Walt Disney World with another family!
You're going to have such a great time making Magical Memories together!
Provided that the family with the 3 kids has at least one child aged 9 or younger, I definitely have the
perfect Moderate Resort recommendation for you!
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside has some great, themed rooms in their Bayou section which include the ability to sleep a 5th guest in the room via a wall pull-down single bed suitable for a child. Port Orleans Riverside is a fabulous, family resort, very reasonably priced and also ideally situated for travel into the parks. The added bonus of a boat to Downtown Disney, horse-drawn carriage rides on site, rentals of Surrey Bikes and even an old-fashioned fishing hole make this the perfect place to spend some unforgettable time together. The whole gang will enjoy Ol' Man Island, the resort's main pool complex complete with a water slide.
When making your reservations for the two families, be sure to have notations placed on
BOTH Magic Your Way Package reservations, connecting the reservations themselves and requesting adjoining, connected rooms in the Bayou section of the resort.
I hope you'll visit again with more great questions as you begin planning your Magical holiday. I'd love to help suggest some special group activities you can enjoy together as well as great dining options suitable for larger parties. Visit again any time!
Wishing you a Magical time as you begin planning your family's Walt Disney World vacation Gary!
Thanks so much for visiting the Moms Panel.
