sharing a hotel suite - WDYT?

valzee · May 2013

We are going to be at Disney for 6 days next week because there are 19 (!! omg where is the wine?) in-laws coming down to go to the parks over Memorial Day. I booked us our own hotel that's only $50 a night and kid-friendly, but yesterday BIL called DH to ask if we wanted to share their suite with them. It's in a much nicer hotel and we'd save the $50 a night because it's a free time-share, but I have nightmares of no sleep for J (or me for that matter), early wakings and just a generally cranky baby the entire week.

The suite has a separate bedroom, but both beds are in the bedroom. There's just a pull-out couch in the other part of the suite. Andplusalso, DH's dad and his wife will be staying there, so that's 6 adults and 2 kids in the suite.

I 100% know that my answer is - HELLLLLL NO - it is worth the $50 a night for some peace and quiet, so I guess I'm just looking for some agreement that yes they are insane and no I'm not crazy for saying no.

Oy.

I'm with you. Having your own space & privacy is priceless. Well, not priceless, but certainly worth $50 per night. Have fun!

Don't do it. You guys need some space.

We shared a suite with my mom. She slept on the couch and the four of us stayed in the bed room. That was fine, but yours is too much.

I agree with PP's -- it's worth it to make sure you have a happy, well-rested baby and that you don't go crazy. If it were just a night or two, I would take them up on the offer... but 6 nights is a totally different story!

Spend the 50!!! If it was for just a night I would share but for a week??? Nah! I would want my space and for my kid too. Besides if your LO starts having a meltdown for whatever reason or wakes in the middle of the night and gives you a hard time to go to sleep again, It doesn't matter they are your family they still will roll their eyes and wish the kid would shut up.

So my initial reaction was to tell you to save the $50/night. We've stayed in hotel suites like that with 3-4 adults and 2 kids for 1-2 nights, not a big deal.

But with 6 adults and 2 kids for 6 nights? Not a chance. Keep the room you booked!

I'm so glad you all feel the same way! This trip started out as DH's brother and his wife and 2 kids coming to Disney, then the rest of the clan invited themselves to come along. My poor SIL didn't even know anyone else was coming until I told her.

It's sure to be filled with drama, so I'll share any crazy stories as they happen. lol
