This is our first time going as a family of 6 - what resort do you recommend that is cost effective? Our kids are ages 8, 6, 4, & 1. Thanks!

Your cheapest (comfortable) options will be two rooms at a Value Resort, putting an adult in each room and requesting connecting, or a Family Suite at Art of Animation or All Star Music.
Because one of your children is under age 3, you can also cram yourself into any unit that fits 5. Among typical resort rooms, in order of relative cost:
In general, I'd not recommend 5+baby in a unit that sleeps 5, because it is tight, especially with all the debris that comes with kids.
- Caribbean Beach Resort
- Port Orleans Riverside
- Contemporary (Garden Wing)
- Beach Club/Yacht Club/Boardwalk (all in the same price range)
- Grand Floridian or Poly (same price range, which is to say pricey)
With villas, you could again cram into any unit that fits 5, pending availability, but would otherwise need a 2BR unit, which no matter how it is booked is likely to be pricier than a Family Suite or 2 units, but would have a kitchen and W/D.
Thank you so much. Do you think the likelihood of being able to get connecting rooms would be high, or should I stick with something else? I'd really like us to be all together.

Not every DVC studio, so it's important to check the occupancy.There are drop down beds in DVC Studios too. Those rooms are bigger than a POR 5 person room, and you have the balcony, free laundry and a kitchenette. A high chair and pack n play are included too.
Oops, meant to say SOME. Fast typing lol. Easy to check on youtube or other photos to check for the drop downs.Not every DVC studio, so it's important to check the occupancy.
