4 adults in a Value room?

[pat fan]

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think it's doable. It might make a difference if I knew what the dynamics of your group were, but off the cuff, I'd say it would work.

We went last summer for 9 nights and it was my DH, myself and our 2 sons aged 17 & 15. We were fine in one room. In fact, the boys spent 2 nights in their Aunts room after she left (we paid for 2 extra nights because we thought that we might be getting sick of each other by then) and we all agreed it was a stupid thing to do. My boys said it wasn't any fun not being all in the same room so we won't do that again. Like I said, it might make a difference with the dynamics of your group, but ours works fine

Would you put 4 adults in a value room for 7 days? We there are 3 girls and 1 guy. I am worried we will be to crowded to be comfortable? Would you stay for 6 nights and 7 days at a value resort?

Yes, I would, if they were the right people. I've stayed with 3 adults and a child at AS and 4 adults and a child at POR with no problem. It can be a lot of fun and like being in a big family - I grew up with 8 in the family and 1 bathroom And it sure makes for an inexpensive vacation - that means $$ for a longer vacation or another trip!

If its 4 people used to having their own bathrooms that don't know how to share one (someone likes to take a 1/2 hr shower or has to have the sink & mirror to themself for an hour in the morning) it could be a nightmare! Talk about how you'll handle it so there are no surprises.

Oh I forgot, if you get a room with the curtain across the bathroom area it provides more private areas for changing etc . You could always bring your own curtain and hooks if you stay where there isn't one. I hope whoever thought of that added touch got a big bonus because it makes the rooms much nicer!

Okay folks I need to be very bold here. For my DH and I, vacation equals a certain amount of "marital intimacy." Now I'm sure there are other folks out there saying, "For Pete's sake it's a week out of your life," but for us it is vacation and that is an important part of vacation; it is a time for us to reconnect with each other in a relaxed/vacation atmosphere, and I'm telling you right now there is not going to be any type of "reconnection" with either other adults or our children in the room. That's just me.

The value resorts are way small for 4 adult. If you can get 2 rooms or try a resort with larger rooms like BWI, Poly, or the Contemporary Resorts.

I agree with most of the others. A value room is waaayyy too small for 4 adults. The bathroom and shower availability will also be a problem - a big problem. However, if money is very tight, you could try it.

A suggestion - Book one room for the first half of your trip. Go to 2 rooms for the second half. This would take half of the pressure off at least. Good luck to you in planning your trip. Enjoy it.

I dont want to stay at a value with all of us. But My husband and I are trying to save for a anniversary trip at the Poly in August. Me and my husband have been saying all along that the room will be way too small. But the girls just want to save money. They have never been in one of these rooms before. I'm gonna love the look on their faces when I get to say I told you so! I really need a pic of what the rooms really look like with four adults in them.

Nope.

We were four adults at POP in August. We had connecting rooms.

Remember if you have more than 2 adults in the room you will be charged an extra amount per person, per night. I believe the charge at Pop is $10 extra per person, per night. So keep that in mind. The room will be big enough to sleep in, but there will be no comfort and hopefully you do realize there is only one bathroom, one sink!!

As long as I am the guy OK.

3 women, 1 small bathroom. You do the math.

we had all star movies with four of us....we just rotated shifts.....we were not in the room except to go to bed and change clothes to go to the pool...that was it..we also did FQ with four adults.......no difference except the double sink...and mirror......we had a blast and didnt mind the little extra time getting up and out for the day.....most of our trips were done on a spur of the moment and we were lucky to get Movies.....

We legitimately had 5 people in our room at POP. 2 Adults, and 3 kids 12,8, and 1. We had brought a airmatress for someone to sleep on the floor, and it worked out fine for all of us!! Plus, all 3 kids came down sick on our 5-7 day so we spent a lot of time in our room. So will it be alittle crowded? Yes. Was it too crazy to do again? Definately not!! We are going back to pop in 6 months again!!

It would depend on two things...

~ your comfort level with those you would be "bunking with"
AND
~ the money factor (is that all you can afford/wish to spend)

We have went with my in-laws three times (not to WDW but different places) and there were four adults, plus a child ( each time was a different age... he must have been 6, 12, and 14) in a small, standard hotel room (two full-size beds). The first trip, when our son was smaller, he piled in with us. The other two... he piled in his sleeping bag on the floor between two beds (we took sleeping bags (2) and pillows with us)!

It worked! Restroom time was tough, there was NO "private time", nightgowns AND robes were a given, as were "Breathe Right Strips" (for all)! It was not ideal, but it did work. And we spent far more time in the rooms than you will at Disney! Heck, we often were in our room only to sleep and get showers, while at WDW!

If you can afford more and are not really comfy with the other people, by all means book two rooms BUT if you all are close, and money is tight (or could be better spent elsewhere)... keep the one room (you will be in it so little)!

I'm doing this in December with my husband, BIL and Sister.

We're not new to sharing hotel rooms -- we know it's going to be crowded in there. But the money we save means we'll be able to go in the first place, and that's worth it. We're always just excited to be saving money--it gives us a high.

A big factor in this, though, is that we all really like each other. We stayed in a **terrible**, cramped hotel room in Memphis, and squeezed into my compact car for the ten hour drive home, and had a great time. I think the mindset has a lot to do with it.

Also, my sister and I have arranged to give each other an evening alone in the hotel room for some MPCT ("Married People Cuddle Time", we call it ). Not ideal, but doable. No pun intended.

Do I wish we could afford the extra room? Absolutely. But we will have a FANTASTIC time. What the situation may lack in magic, the thrill of our first WDW trip will more than make up for. Best of luck to you.

I do really like the other 2 girls in the room. So much that we are finishing our basement and renting it out to SIL (18) and the other girl might start living there with her when she turns 18 in a year. We are all related and have know each other for 5 years. So I'm not concerned about getting on each others nerves. Im more concerned about the bathroom. I am going to go ahead with the value and let this be a learning experience for them. I bet after this they say no more than 2 people per value room!
