I'm with you, onelugnut.
It may be a 'europe-thing' in some instances, but for a 'family-oriented' company Disney does a really poor job of accommadating larger families.
I realize a line needs to be drawn somewhere, but why not draw it somewhere that makes sense.
Is a parent going to want to leave three kids ranging in age from 3 to 10 in a room by themselves? Maybe not.
Are parents expected to take 'separate vacations' in separate rooms? I don't think so.
Can a family with three small children be easily accomadated with a trundle or a fold away bed? Yes, Disney proved it at POR, and it was quite comfortable.
Can a family of six or seven realistically be accomadated in they same room? Probably not. So maybe that's where you draw the line.
For whatever reason (probably money), larger families are squeezed out.
So, we'll probably plan our own family adventures and wait on a cruise until the kiddos are older.
And as for staying on Disney property, we probably did it for the last time last year. We stayed at the Cabins and POR, but now we are opting for more space at a fair price in a vacation home.
