1BR occupancy info from MS today-"New policy"??

I guess what I am really surprised at is the fact that this does not bother more people. I mean the outcry of styrofoam vs. glasses was unbelievable. I find the leniency on occupancy a far more serious infraction.

Because in our planners, on the points chart, under each type of accomodation, it says (sleeps up to 4), or (sleeps up to 8) or (sleeps up to 12). It doesn't say sleeps up to 4 1/2, sleeps up to 5. Sleeps up to 9, or 13. These new numbers that MS is booking for are not in print. This does have bearing on those that book more expensive accomodations based on the printed number of occupants, where if members really knew how many were allowed, they would be doing this to save points. (For those that like this policy exception). To make an exception for a child is one thing, now they're allowing adults and preteens. I do feel this allowance will degrade the quality of accomodations.

This is where they are walking the line. If they say "sleeps 5" then you would expect there to be sleeping spots (bedding) provided for 5, linens for 5. I doubt they will change the official wording for this reason.

Some of the posts have crossed the line into the occupancy discussion territory, and given the subject, it is very unlikely that this thread will remain on the topic of MS notificaton technique.

I'm going to close this thread, and refer everyone to the long running DVC Occupancy Thread.
