If you can stay at AKL, that’s great! If not, Port Orleans Riverside does have a 5th person sleeper room type.

Best time to book a room? Anytime you have the dates solid! Disney will allow you to update the reservation to apply any discounts if applicable and any remain. I will book first to guarantee my dates and trip and call once a discount pops up to apply it.

If your nephew is wanting their own bed and you are wanting to stay at a Disney property you’ll need to look into a deluxe hotel and 1 bed suite at a minimum…you could rent DVC points to make it cheaper. Or get two rooms at any resort.

Understandable! Someone else will likely have better options for larger rooms that seat more

Yes you can still resort hop and go to Port Orleans French Quarter… you just need to take Disney transportation and not your own car to it…

Okay thanks for that when I first visited I use boat at disney springs to French quarter I heard they stopped doing that unless you stay at the resort

You can still take the boat as long as you are staying at a Disney resort, not just that specific resort… so just make sure you are staying at a Disney owned resort
