Anyone have any opinions or insights amongst the 5 villas and the FW Cabin, for a trip with 6?

Haven't stayed in any of the Villas but did stay in FW cabin with 4 adults and 2 small children. Weren't really too cramped but closet situation was a problem. There is only a closet in the bedroom. My husband and I who used the Murphy bed had to live out of our suitcases and try to keep them neat and out of the way when everyone was up. We only stayed there for 4 nights and think any longer would have gotten on everyone's nerves!

I would go with 1 or 2 bedroom villa for a party of 6. Depending on the age of the party. I would just prefer a hotel atmosphere to that of a cabin.

I've never stayed at the FW cabins, but I have stayed in a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom villa at OKW. We absolutely loved the villas. We didn't not feel cramped and it was very spacious. OKW is a great resort, and among the villas supposively the largest rooms.

Villas vs Cabins
We found the conveneince and size, depending upon the number of guests, the villas were much better. However cabins are kinda unique amongst the trees at FW. The boss ( my wife) won't cabin any more.
Trips planned for 2016......
January..... Offfsite... Golf outing

Agreed! We had 4 adults and 2 kids this past Nov and have decided that although we LOVED FW, we would only stay in the cabins again if we had two as there is hardly ANY place to store things. We had on in a pack'n'play which even more limited space.
FW is loads of fun and we would stay there again in the cabins but only our immediate family.
We have also stayed at the family suites at ASMu and loved that as well. Kids can go to be early and we stay up!
Haven't tried the villas yet... maybe this next summer!

If you need two bathrooms and have the money, then you may want to go with the villas, since you'll need at least a 2BR villa with 6 people It can be expensive (at least $610 per night during value season). The 1br villas only accommodate four people (plus maybe an infant).
If you need to stretch your vacation dollars or if you want to stay in a quieter location, then do the FW cabin. Rates start at $255 per night value season, so you'll pay less than half of the rate of a 2br villa. I've considered the FW cabins too and have heard good things about them.

We loved the cabins. It was so nice to have the quiet and peacefulness surrounding us. The only thing I didn't like was the bus situation.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

We lodged at the cabins with four adults, one teenager, and a 9 year old. It was very crowded, and with only one bathroom, getting ready in the mornings took a long time.
If you can afford the villas, I would do that for sure. You won't miss anything that the cabins can offer, and you will save countless time everyday getting everyone going, and everyone will have much more privacy.

I agree with the privacy issue of the cabins, very nice but very intimate. I have stayed in a 2 BR DVC resort and it is amazing, we stayed with 8 pp ( six adults and 2 children) and it was the perfect size. I don't know how much they are going for for your dates, but you might want to look into ajoining rooms also.
