Hello! I'm trying to understand the best options for a slightly crazy family of 6. We will be:
Mom, Dad, and La Petit Prince (age 6)
Aunt, Uncle
Grandma (age 76)
Grandma is looking to stay as close to the Prince as possible. Mom and Dad/Aunt and Uncle will need to have private time away from Grandma. Aunt and Uncle are okay with an adjoining room but definitively want to be at the same resort/on the same floor/etc. The Prince will need a bedroom with a door that can shut for a strict 7pm or he turns into the Evil Prince bedtime.
Renting DVC points is out because Dad's work may force a less than 2 week cancellation. Mom is not interested in the parks at all and has declared she'll spend the whole day by the pool. Aunt has food allergies. Mom prefers to eat organic, homemade meals. Grandma insists on coming along, but also insists (even more loudly) that she's "an old lady who can't walk very far or very fast".
Grandma hasn't been to the parks since MGM studios opened (she even insists on using that name) but everyone suspects she'll decided to go back to the hotel/only make it half day. Aunt and Uncle refuse to rope drop. Dad is razor focused on Star Wars. This is likely the 'last in a life time' trip for Grandma, a once a decade trip for Mom and Dad, but maybe the start of an annual trip for Aunt, Uncle, and the Prince... assuming it to goes well.
I keep coming up with a 2 bedroom with a kitchen (for mom) and a fold out bed (for Grandma). Probably going to end up at a DVC resort or deluxe just from the need for size and to be close transport wise. I've nixed Fort Wilderness, as the cabins have no door to the second bedroom, and honestly doors to a shut are a must if we want to get out of this intact. Thoughts?
FYI: this is planning for late 2021, so hopefully we don't need to worry about COVID19 restrictions.
