Except keep in mind that two of the beds in the family bedroom are "child sized". If one child is going to be a teenager they might already be too tall for the family bedroom.

These are the dimensions of the child sized beds:
Lower Berth 2'3" x 4'9"
Upper Berth 2'0" x 4'7"

While I love the bedrooms and think a bedroom suite at 50,000 points would be lovely for your trip, if you aren't prepared to use that many points you might consider booking two roomettes. At 15,000 points each, that would be a total of 30,000 points for your trip and you can hopefully get them across the hall from each other. The toilet is down the hall (with two more downstairs) and then you can use the shower downstairs, too.
