i am looking to book a family vacation for my family of 3, my sister's family of 5 and our parents. i'm thinking the best way to make sure we all still like each other is to book separate sleeping accommodations for everyone. what would you suggest
hi stacy, welcome to disney parks moms panel. glad to know that you are going to have a wonderful time with your family at wdw. i am used to travel with my in-laws, my parents, cousins, uncles and i am usually with a large group of family members. we’ve always stay each family in a separate room but all in the same resort. usually, we ask a cast member to put us all together. sometimes our room even had connecting doors. sometimes they could only give to us, rooms that are close to another, at least they were at the same building and floor. it’s best for privacy matters. you can check disney’s art of animation resort, because your sister will need a room that can accommodate five and they have a nice family suite that can sleep six. the other two families could stay in a standard room. the best way to explain exactly what you want is by calling the resort and speaking to a cast member. disney’s cast members are going to say that they cannot guarantee the things that you are requesting, but they will do their best to try to please you all. another great accommodating for you guys is the the cabins at disney’s fort wilderness resort. have a magical day! camila r.
my life at this precise moment has been alot better,i got a phone call at 5am this morning from my daughters friends mam (my daughter had gone camping with her friends family)saying that my daughter has been vomiting and isn't feeling very well and my daughter really wants to come home,so i got my mam to baby sit my 3 other children and i drove to wilson's promontory(4 hours drive from me)to get my daughter.i got there fine,but on my way back i vomited and had to pull over for an hour until i felt a bit better to drive.it took 6 hours to get home,as i had to keep pulling over to be sick.when i got home i couldn't wait to get to bed,but when i got home my 3 other children were all in bed vomiting and feeling just as sick,so at the moment i am on here trying to keep myself awake until my husband gets home from work so i can go straight to bed.(keep your fingers crossed for me that my husband doesn't come home sick as well and that every one is feeling better soon. im not a parent but i've seen my mom and dad when they thought my sister and me were asleep. we were camping in the woods and i couldnt sleep but it was a while after we went to bed. i guess they thought we were asleep. i started hearing quiet noises and peeked out of the tent to make sure it wasn't a racoon or a bear or something and saw mom bouncing on dads lapwe got a baby brother 9 months later This is the great conundrum. Should I stay or should I go. Ultimately only your heart can answer this. But I would consider balancing on a two sided scale the weight of a casual fuck and a baby 👶 and then the weight of your family broken up divorce and spending the rest of your time seeing your kids half the time or less and likely being raised by another step dad. I'm not suggesting you choose one or the other. I'm merely suggesting you weigh in the reality of both sides and what they mean in the long run. I feel for you because I've been there and know it's very very hard. You will know what you must do but take a little time to think before making rash decisions.   
I wish you the best. And hope whatever happens you will be happier for those decisions you make. 😔 i can only give you estimates based on what we spend with a family of 4. i am a stay at home mom, my husband commutes about 20 minutes to work and i have a teenage driver (16 year old girl) and a teenage boy with a huge appetite. i am now spending about $200 a week on groceries with two teenagers. gas is costing us about $100 a week. car insurance is about $400 per year. our housing runs about $1,800 per month with insurance. we live in a nice neighborhood but our house is only about 2200 sq. ft. you can definitely get larger homes for less money in a less expensive neighborhood, but i would defintely stay on the east side -- sandy and draper are nice. if you go on the west side, be sure it's southwest -- south jordan, riverton, bluffdale. 

since i'm digressing, i'll just continue on this bent. your better schools are on the east side -- anywhere on the east side. if you want to go north of salt lake, consider bountiful, and fruit heights (good schools, but slightly more expensive) stay away from ogden, woods cross and layton. traffic into and out of davis county is horrendous.

if you go one county south (utah county) you have an excellent school district with alpine. avoid lehi. alpine and highland are lovely little suburbs with great schools and a great atmosphere nestled right up against the mountains. home prices and taxes are higher than other places (like american fork, pleasant grove and orem) but they are very sweet places to live. if you're not mormon i probably would'nt consider them -- they're about 98% mormon. mormons are very nice people typically (i know -- i am one) but you're kids might feel a bit left out not being one of the majority.

ok, back to the topic at hand. if you would like to email me, i would be happy to tell you what we make and how we live, but i'd rather not broadcast that all over the internet. email me at daves\_comet@yahoo.com. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have about moving to salt lake. let's just say that i moved here 20 years ago and i have never found a place i like better. i have lived in many cities in different parts of the world, but this is where i hang my heart.

good luck. Yes, I do and so do my Daughters. 1) add a comment to your reservation that it a birthday is involved. 
2) email/call the gm or concierge and let them know you can't ignore your other child! that's going to cause your younger child to have serious problems later in life. tell your older daughter that you can't abandon your other daughter but that you still love her and want to solve this another way. i have a few nearby. i like going to the lake, i'll drive over to cave city with my sister and check out mammoth cave and all the sites around, or red river gorge for camping. that's what's around me but if i want to drive a little extra me and my sister sometimes go down to gatlinburg. Your girl sees you like a partner, and a little like a big brother under that umbrella. Now imagine telling that to your 5 year old little sister. Wouldn't she do the same thing? It's not particularly that she is just sad, is that she sees that you don't want to be her partner. Instead, what you want to do is to push the fun for later and respect that engagement. you can read a book or a magazine. this way you won't bother the others who are sleeping. hope it helps!
