Hi Everyone. This fall we are looking to make another trip to DW. Last year we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside and Loved it! This year since Disney has so much to offer so we would like to try staying at a different place, and thats where we could use some recommendations. My wife and I have 3 children ages 8, 5, 4, so we have to keep that in mind. Thanks for your Help

I think all of you would fit at Port Orleans, the alligator bayou section has a trundle bed for the 5th person.
If you're looking for something different, the cabins at Fort Wilderness might be nice -- close to MK, and there's a kitchen et al for the kids snacks, and space to stretch out. Or, if price isn't a concern, a 2 br villa at one of the dvc resorts would be great too :)

We used to be in your situation. With 3 or 4 kids affordable options aren't plentiful. If you want to all stay in one room I think it's either POR AB section or one of the deluxes that has a day bed in the room. The other options are FW cabins as mentioned (we really liked this when our kids were about your's ages, but we didn't think the transportation and swimming options were as good as other resorts), two connecting rooms at another moderate or a value (with kids as young as yours I think they will guarantee connecting rooms -- we've actually always been able to get them even with adult aged "kids"), one of the new All-Star suites, a suite in any of the resorts (but these can be very pricey). We've never stayed at one of the DCV resorts, but they sound fantastic too.
Your budget is a big factor. We ended up staying a second time at POR when we actually would have liked to try something new because with the trundle bed allowing the 5th person we could squeak by with one room, made the trip SO much more affordable! Now if money weren't too big a concern and you do fine in one room, I'd go for the Beach Club. The pool is amazing and we loved being able to walk to EPCOT.
