Can't figure it out- family of 5 at WL?

[3princesses4us]

I'm sure the answer to this is on that WL thread, but I can't seem to find it. We are wanting to stay at the WL sometime next fall 2006. Everything I'm reading says that the WL is the only deluxe resort with room for only 4 per room. Our 5th family member will barely be 2 then and would still happily sleep in a pack n' play. Are we still able to book a standard (cheaper) room even with her? When I asked disneyworld.com for a quote, they automatically upgraded me to a suite like room that was almost $400 a night because I listed having 5 people in my party. Anyone know if they count babies in pack n' plays in this scenario? And anyone ever done the pack n' play route with a bunkbed room?

It is my understanding it is up to 4 people PLUS one child under 3 in a pack and play. Don't try to book it online. Computer doesn't figure out that many variables.
Have a good time!

WL and AKL are the 2 deluxes that only allow 4 in a regular room as opposed to the other deluxes that have room for 5...the others have a day bed.
As the other poster stated as long as your 5 person is under 3 you will be okay.

AKL has room for 5, too. 1 Queen, bunks for 2 and 1 daybed.

AKL has two different types of rooms (at different prices).

WL and AKL have the deluxe rooms that will hold 5, but the regular rooms in each resort only hold 4 (unless one in the party is under 3 then 5 can stay in the regular room)

I would just call in to make the ressie. A child under 3 never counts in the room total number of people.

You could also book it online with just the 4 of you, then call after you have the confirmation number to let them know you have a baby and will need a pack & play. That's what we did and there was no problem.

POR Riverside also has 5 person rooms. One sleeps on a trundle. Last year we camped. Ony $45 a night. We could have had up to 10 people for that price! This year we got two rooms at POP due to gas prices. It was cheeper to fly and get two rooms than to drive from chicago and camp.
