Inside Stateroom vs Deluxe Inside Stateroom

[ChicosWife]

Is there a BIG difference between the two, other than the 40 or so extra square feet and the split baths?

With 4 people, DW & our 2 DDs, for us the Split bathrooms are a Big Difference.

Yeah, we have a family of 4 also (DH and I and 2 DS')

Personally I think there is. It just feels different and much bigger than a standard. I would sail in either though but a deluxe is a bit more comfortable.

I was going to say those are the only real difference we've seen (40sf and split bath). The I read your second post about 2 adults and 2 kids. Sooooo....based on what I've seen (and we had a deluxe inside ourselves a few years ago), I would say the split bathroom would be well worth it for the comfort of a family of 4. I think the split bathroom setup is one of the better ideas Disney has come up with for their staterooms. And 40 square feet can really make a difference.

My kids are 10 and 6. Do you think it makes a different what age they are?

When we went with the basic inside there was no curtain which made watching tv at night hard after DD fell asleep. I desperately missed the split bath and the extra storage that came with it. After staying in both rooms I'll never not go deluxe again and that was with two adults and one child.

i don't think that matters. Just having 4 people is enough in my mind to make the "deluxe" room very much preferable.

All 6 of the standard insides we've stayed in had the curtain. I thought that was standard on all DCL rooms, but certainly be wrong.

Our standard inside also had a curtain.

Our 11A had a dividing curtain:


Only issue I had with it was, with the curtain pulled, I felt like I was in a box when in bed, as it's right across the foot of the bed.

Before we began getting Veranda rooms, we definitely sprung for the Deluxe, we were able to move twice as fast with the split bath and it just helped everything move smoother!

Thanks for clearing that up, I guess it was just our strange square shaped room. I just assumed all in that category didn't have the curtain when ours didn't. The room we stayed in was 9101 on the Disney Fantasy. I think people said it was a sideways cabin so maybe that's why it didn't have the curtain. It seemed SO small for the three of us, I definitely wouldn't recommend it for more than 2 people.

I stayed in a Wonder sideways cabin with my two grandsons (14 and 6) and we were perfectly comfortable; it did have the curtain. I understand that there is not the same centered door option on the newer ships which I feel changes both the perception and use of the space.

DH thinks that we won't really need the extra room, since we don't plan on being in the room for much, other than sleeping and showering. I just worry, that we won't have enough room for luggage for a family of four. Anyone know how the closet and dresser space is in a standard inside room?
