But, before they get too old (currently 19, 13, 12, & 10 years old) and more involved in sports than they already are, I want to get everyone out for one last Disney family vacation.....and stay on property so that they can enjoy everything Disney. Trip is planned for 2019 sometime. No actual dates set yet. Likely looking just after the end of school next year.
I very quickly looked and it appears that there are several resorts with rooms for 5+ people. Pricing ranges from $500/night on up.
I'm looking for any tips/suggestions/advice for a larger family trip that you might have. Better to book 2 rooms vs. paying for 1 large room? Best place for a large family with pre-teen/teenage kids to stay?
Any help is appreciated.

My parents both have Disney Vacation Club memberships and my family once used the points they had to stay at a villa at the Boardwalk. It's a huge 3 bedroom hotel room with a giant living room and kitchen. Plus there was a balcony that overlooked the boardwalk. It's also walking distance to Epcot and Disney Studios. We had 6 adults and 4 kids staying there.
I'm not all too familiar with how it works but my parents have used their points on Disney vacations but they have also gone on cruises and stayed at other hotels outside of Orlando as well so it's not strictly for DisneyWorld vacations.
I also know you can sell those points so if you know anyone that has a Disney Vacation Club membership, they may have points you can buy from them.
