3 adults and 2 kids

What are the best options? Also is there a way online to check based on occupancy not just room size or location? Thanks!

How old are the kids?

What are you trying to do, get the smallest least expensive room for your group size?

I could not find the occup. of rooms online. The 2 kiddos will be 7. I read that some of the studios fit 5. Honestly I am not sure if that is a good option because I believe the "chair" bed is small. Trying to get opinions for different options and if 5 is too much for the studios. We might need / want two studios. Usually we travel in a group of 8 and do either 3 del. studios or a 2/ 3 bedroom. THis is a last minute girls trip (July) and we have went from 3 to 5 people (which is awesome). We have a limited points because we will be there 2 weeks before (3 rooms). We have enough for 2 del. studios @ AK. Just thinking on one or two or if there is a better option. THanks so much!!!

Check out http://www.dvcrequest.com/cost-calculator.asp. Click the button that says "show occupancy."

I believe the sleeper chair is only available in some one-bedroom units. The studios that sleep five have a flip-down bed under the television.

The chair bed at OKW fit my aunt, who is about 5'5", just fine. And she thought it was comfy too. (she's in her 70s)

I do believe that's true, though, that it's not in the studios.

You can either do 2 studios at AKV or a 1 bedroom at AKV. 1b at Kidani will have 2 bathrooms. The points are going to be much the same.

Other options: VWL studio will sleep 5, VGF & Poly as well.

We have 2 little ones. DH feels like we're on top of each other in a studio. My 5yo also complains about how small the studio rooms are And we could never share a studio with another adult relative. I guess we're just not that close to any relatives! We have done ok with a 5th in a 1bedroom.

We're a family of four but grandma makes five and we stay in studios. DD-4 and DS-1. If we didn't pack so much stuff it'd be better but we're comfortable even if tight.

I ran across this on a different message board. It's a wealth of info and I think you'll be able to figure out which places will hold 5 and what the bed situation is:

We will be doing three adults and two 8 yrs olds at a studio WLV For nine nights starting Friday. No worries only there to swim and sleep. Did request a room at the end of the long hallway, cause they have two closets....

Boy, that is going to be tight. We had four in a two bedroom and it was wonderful.

Yep, we checked it out last XMAS...but going three times a year has limited our points..we will make it work. We did fine at BCV a few years back with three adults and one child. We save up by banking borrowing our OKW a points for a GV Once every three years...so we have to make do the rest of the time with our BCV and WLV points.
