Thanks all, we go back and forth on what to do. We are still leaning toward 2 days at the parks and the rest at the beach. There are 4 kids ages 6-9, but none are really into disney. It's more the parents saying we need to take the kids to disney at least once. I think staying at the park is the lowest cost option (at least for rent and tickets), but the adults are not very excited about going to parks for 5/6 days. We've also found some houses close to disney that look great. Pool is a requirement. Kids would like to take the bikes, and I'm hoping to sneak a road bike in the car :-).
So still torn between staying on the beach or walking distance in a house were we could all relax and spend a couple days going to disney, or bitting the bullet and going to the park for the week. I think the kids would be fine either way, but the parents need a little R&R as well.
I think we've nailed disney down to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Safari for our 2 days (maybe get park hopper passes the second day?) I know there is a lot more to see.
Once I nail down our place, and if the bike makes the trip, I would love to ride with any local TE members.
Mr. S, we've found a couple very nice places that sleep 12 - you in?
