Don't Miss: Movie Night, the first night we were there the movie was playing, and it was alot of fun to sit around the pool on lounge chairs, eating popcorn and watching a great Disney Movie.

Room Location Suggestion: we stood at the Jazz Inn, it was right in between both pools, next to the Calipso Building, it wasn't too close to the action, and not too far of a walk to the main building for eating and transportation.

The Mouse For Less Tip: still pretty new to this, so I really didn't learn any tips except, ponchos came in VERY handy.

Comments: The family suites were very nice, I loved it. we had plenty of room for all the kids to be relax and not on top of each other, and so very important privicy for me which was my big thing. Plenty of beds, the couch sleeped two, the chair folded out to a twin size bed, the ottermen also opened to a twin size bed. My only gripe was that I wish the bed in the bedroom room was alittle bigger, it was only full size. I actually moved the otterman into the bed room, so DD4 was close to DH and I. and it worked out great.

Don't Miss: There are great pools here, and VERY good meals at the food court - and not too outrageously priced.

Room Location Suggestion: Our original room was a pool view, which was very nice, but I don't think it's worth it to pay extra for any particular room here. We walked the whole resort without finding anything too far away.

The Mouse For Less Tip: The family suites are a PHENOMENAL alternative to having to book multiple rooms for a larger family. With the fridge included and a small microwave, you will also be able to make quick meals to save money, and plenty of area to store snacks to save money.

Comments: We received this room as a free upgrade after they made a mistake in booking our original room. It is spacious and colorful, and very comfortably laid out. Having the two bathrooms is a wonderful plus, and the separate sink areas has been extremely helpful in reducing clutter. There is more than enough storage for the four of us that are on this trip, and it's nice to have a separate bedroom and two separate TVs.

We often talk about bringing my sister in law and two nephews down with us on one of these trips, and this is really the answer to doing that. Even if you wanted to include the in-laws, giving them the privacy of their bedroom while you sleep in the comfortable living room would be perfect.

You are supplied here with the very basics - paper plates, paper bowls, plastic silverware, and a manual can opener and a bottle opener. If you need any more utensils than that, bring them with you.
