Most family-sized concepts focus on the idea of a family having four or fewer individuals. But if you have a bit (or MUCH) larger family, you’ve already learned that one-size doesn’t always fit all.
Are you planning a trip to Disney World with a BIG group? You might be wondering how to find a hotel that can accommodate everyone in your party without sacrificing space — or your budget.
Yes, it IS possible to find a hotel on Disney World property that can work for big groups of people! There are options ranging from the lower end of the price spectrum up to a HUGE splurge, so you might want to look at your budget and check out our list!
Let’s dive into these, starting with the Value options and working out way up to the big dollar option at the Deluxe level.
Value Resorts
All-Star Music Resort
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is a value resort, which means it typically has some of the lower costs of hotels in Disney World, and the family suites are a really great option if you’re on a strict budget but still want Disney perks, especially if you’re planning on driving to and from the parks. The family suites can accommodate up to six adults, and they include one queen bed and two queen-size murphy beds.
In addition to two bathrooms, the All-Star Music family suites also have a kitchenette, so you can cut down on eating costs! This option starts around $323 per night.
Art of Animation Resort
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is another value resort with a variety of family suites available! The buildings themed to Cars, Finding Nemo, and The Lion King have suites that accommodate up to six adults, with rooms including one queen bed, one double-size murphy bed, and one double-size sleeper sofa as two bathrooms and a kitchenette.
Art of Animation has the benefit of being located on the Disney Skyliner line, but it can also be on the the pricier side of Disney’s value resorts, with the family suites typically starting from $549 per night — sometimes more during peak visit times.
Moderate Resorts
The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort cabins are a popular spot for large groups, allowing groups to rent side-by-side cabins if they need extra room. Each cabin can sleep up to six adults, and they come with one queen bed, one double-size sleeper sofa, and one bunk bed. You will also find a kitchen (including a dishwasher and two burners!) and a full refrigerator.
If the cabins aren’t your thing, you can also consider the RV or camping options at Fort Wilderness, and in either case it’s a great area for your group to to explore. At night’s end, everyone can sit around a fire pit and relax after a long day in Disney World! Prices start at $549 per night, so it’s not a huge difference from Art of Animation, but it offers more privacy.

Port Orleans — Riverside Resort
If your group is more in the medium-size category with five or fewer people, Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort can be a great option! You can opt for a child-size pull-down bed and two queen beds in select rooms.
Better yet, the Port Orleans Resorts also provide boat transportation to Disney Springs. Why is this important? Sometimes in a group, you need to consider everyone’s interests and needs — and not everyone always wants to do the same thing. Choosing a resort with alternative transportation options is a great way to keep everyone happy! Prices start at $294 per night.

Lindsey says
On our last visit to WDW, we stayed at Pop Century and loved it! The redesigned rooms were fresh and convenient, and the pool was excellent for our toddler. Now that our family is a bit bigger, we’re anxious to try out the family suites a Art of Animation! I love the ability to have some meals or at least snacks in our room, especially breakfast on park days when we want to get out the door quickly. Plus, having older kids, I think they’ll absolutely love the larger pool at AOA!
