fkunkie asks:  I'm in the process of planning a 7-day trip for nine of us next summer. There are 9 of us total, 6 in one family and 3 in another including 2 young kids ages 5 and 6.  We have been to WDW before and shared 2 rooms at All Star Movies but there were only 8 of us then. We're looking for options that would allow us to save some money while staying in the same resort.  
 
Just as background, we've thought about 
(1)Treehouse Villas
(2) 3 rooms in a value resort
(3) maybe a family suite at All Star Music with another standard room.  
(4) the campground and/or cabins
 
When I asked Disney they suggested a multi room suite but those are out of our price range.
 
Would share your thoughts and suggestions?  Are there other options we should consider?
 
Thanks so much,
 
Frank
