Hi
Tracy!
Congratulations on your family's visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Your family will fall in love with the magic of Disney!
Yes, one option is to book two connecting rooms. The other is to book a
Room for 5 Guests of More. If your travel agent is able to extend an offer where you would be paying the same amount of money for a Deluxe Villa than say two standard rooms at a Value or Moderate resort, then I would definitely opt for the Deluxe Villa.
Another option to consider is booking a Family Suite at the FABULOUSLY themed
Disney's Art of Animation Resort which is opening at the end of this month! The whimsically immersive Family Suites there can easily accommodate your entire party. They provide just the right amount of extra room your family will need to spread out including: three separate sleeping areas, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette.

Enjoy a most fabulous visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
