We've stayed at Homewood Suites and we have 4 kids and usually my mom with us. Not super close, but we take the shuttle. Full breakfast and dinner! We save a bunch that way. Plus, beer and wine is included with dinner! - matildamouse  196.4 #1676 10:30AM

Yes, we have stayed at the Staybridge and loved it! We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with a living room and kitchen. They have a full size fridge which was nice. The free breakfast buffet was better than expected, and the free sundowner was great as well. (they only offer this certain days) One night they did BBQ hamburgers, one night was just chips and salsa if I remember correctly. ART picks up from in front of the Holiday Inn every 20 min, which is right next door. We like to stay closer to the parks now, but it is a great place for a large family! Desert inn has suites large enough, and they are right across the street, but I know their prices have gone up. - PoppinsWoo  254.8 #963 3:40PM

I always recommend lunch at Shakey's Pizza on ball road. - joxua  35.4 #4154 10:02AM

I love Rodway Inn, it has a microwave and fridge for the baby's milk, and it has laundry. (I like the one that is NOT at maingate, but I've stayed at both)... The best part is, its super affordable. - PlsDisneyMe  5.5 #9683 10:17AM

I loved the family suite at Park Vue Inn. It has a fridge, microwave, continental breakfast, an evening social with a light dinner, and its right across the street from the main entrance. - tikiwhip  200.9 #1616 10:22AM
