Disney World Resorts for Five Guests
Port Orleans Riverside
Families of five can find some great resorts to accommodate them at Walt Disney World Resort. While recently booking our resort stay for our upcoming trip, I came across some resorts that can work for families of five, and still be considered “standard rooms”. Suites are nice, as are rooms at the Club Level. However, those aren’t the most cost effective for many families, or they often have double sized beds, which can make it tight for sleeping comfortably after a long day at the parks.
Today I want to share with you Five Disney Resorts for Five Guests.
1. Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort will accommodate up to five guests. This is a great option, as it is priced at the Moderate Resort level, and is a charming resort close to Downtown Disney. The rooms for five are equipped with two queen size beds, and a pull out bunk size bed. If you are traveling with a young child, about up to age 6, who is too big for a pack and play, this is a great option. This option is available for all Standard Rooms at Port Orleans-Riverside, NOT the Royal Guest Rooms. What I love about this resort is its charm. The grounds and landscaping are beautiful, there are great recreation activities here, and it’s just a short ride across the “bayou” to Downtown Disney.
Don’t forget to add your celebration to your reservation
Many people travel to Walt Disney World for something special, from a birthday to anniversary to family reunion and more. You should always share your celebration with Disney! Disney goes above and beyond to make sure their guests have a magical experience. One of the ways they can do this is by helping you celebrate your occasion. When you add a celebration to your Disney World resort reservation, this can make many parts of your vacation special! Here are some ways you can start celebrating at Disney World!
The celebration begins when you check in to your Disney World resort. With your check in materials you receive, Disney will include special buttons for each person in your party indicating the event you are celebrating. If someone in your party is celebrating a birthday, there will even be a line on the button’s to indicate who’s birthday you are celebrating! These buttons are great because they let everyone around know that you are celebrating and cast members will often acknowledge them.

Despite what you may think, there are things to do at Disney that don’t require park tickets. Believe it or not, you can have a fun day at Walt Disney World packed full of Disney magic without ever passing through a turnstile. How?
Check out my Top 5 Things To Do at Disney World Without Tickets to find out!
1. Downtown Disney-Downtown Disney offers LOTS of shopping and dining! I can easily spend hours here wanding through the World of Disney, Trend-D, and the Art of Disney Kids will also enjoy Once Upon a Toy store, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and the giant Lego store with lego statues representing Disney characters and even a family visiting Disney World! There’s also entertainment here at night which you can particpate in! Check out Guide to Downtown Disney – “Must-Sees’ for First Timers for more info!
2. Resort Hop-For a full, yet relaxing day, hop aboard the Monorail and visit some of Disney’s deluxe resorts to check out their magnificent lobbies, restaurants, shops, views, decor, and Hidden Mickeys! They are also a great place for photo ops! You can board a ferry and visit both Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge, or walk from Epcot to the Yacht and Beach Club and the Boardwalk for some beautiful views, seaside decor, and dining.

Top Five Reasons To Stay At Disney’s POP Century Resort
Walt Disney World has so many amazing Resort Hotels to choose from that researching and picking one is no easy task! They all are great in their own ways, but to me, Disney’s Pop Century Resort stands out as one of the best. Why, you ask? Well, here are the top 5 reasons:
1. Great Value – Pop Century is one of WDW’s Value Resorts, which means its among the lowest priced Resorts on Disney property, with rooms ranging from as low as $85 a night up to $190 a night (depending on what time of year you are planning to visit). The amount of fun you get for this price is what makes it a great value – there are great pools, play areas, an arcade. and an amazing food court/gift shop area to keep you entertained. Standard rooms sleep 4, and while some complain that they are small, I find them to be plenty spacious, and all rooms have new furnishings and really are a great place to stay and still get that “on property” Disney magic for a low price (which of course includes extra magic hours, and use of Disney Transportation including the Disney Magical Express airport shuttle service)
5 things I love about Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a popular, deluxe resort at Walt Disney World. Since it opened in 1994, guests have been enjoying this adventurous yet noble resort and all of its offerings. While there is a lot to see, do, and appreciate about Wilderness Lodge, check out my top 5 best things about this fantastic Disney resort!
1. Theme - Part of Wilderness Lodge’s appeal is its Pacific Northwest theme. When you stay or visit Wilderness Lodge, you truly feel as if you have left central Florida for a retreat at one of our nation’s national parks. It’s like two vacations in one! Where else can you experience the wonders of the West in comfort and luxury with a Disney twist!
2. Price - While Wilderness Lodge is a deluxe resort with close proximity to the Magic Kingdom, it typically runs cheaper than the majority of other deluxe resorts. Part of the reason for this is because Wilderness Lodge does not provide monorail transportation and the rooms are smaller in comparison to other deluxe rooms. However, for guests and families on a budget, this resort is a little more economical while still offering the deluxe experience and its benefits.
