daybed sizes?

[dismom3]

We're a family of 5. We were going to stay at one of the boardwalk hotels because of daybeds, but now I'm not sure. Are they all small at the BW/YC/BC? The daybed at the GF was nice and big - perfect for my teen. What hotels have a decent size daybed? Maybe we should just go with one room at the Dolphin and get the roll away. Any thoughts?

The Polynesian and Beach Club have the full sized daybeds. The BWI seems to have smaller ones. I've had a room at the YC with no daybed.

I read somewhere (on allearsnet perhaps) that the Boardwalk Inn day beds are 60 inches long. That would mean only our youngest could sleep in it, which would leave me sleeping with other DD and husband sleeping with DS...I think we'll pass on Boardwalk Inn because of that.

I slept in a daybed at the Poly and was very comfy in it. I was 5'4" and about 135 lbs. at the time.

From our experiences with WDW daybeds over the years, we have found the following. Since we have both DS & DD, bedding has always been an issue. We have stayed in the majority of these resorts numerous times.
Poly & Contemporary have daybeds that are the size of a regular twin bed. They are the largest daybeds on WDW property and are wonderful!
YC-we have always had a room with a daybed, and the daybeds were approx.: 5'x3.5". If you remove the back pillows they are ample room for a young child but it's pushing it with a teen, especially a male teenager.
BC-never had a room with a daybed.
BWI-have had both rooms with and without daybeds. The daybeds are approx the same size as YC's daybeds.
BWV-have had room with and without daybeds. These daybeds are a joke! They are approx.: 3.5'x2'. They are really not a viable sleeping space.
GF-is the resort we have never stayed in, so I can not comment on the daybeds.
I think these are the only resorts that have "daybeds". Other resorts have sofabeds, murphy beds and trundle beds.
If you need a daybed for someone to really sleep on, I would strongly recommend either the Poly or the Contemporary. These daybeds are essentially having a extra twin bed in the room.
YC/BC/BW daybeds are good for kids but once they are teens--these beds are cutting it close.
BWV's daybed and the POR trundle bed is by far, the bottom of the bucket as far as comfortable additional sleeping space in a WDW resort room goes.

The daybed in our room at BW was much smaller than those at Polynesian and YC. My son still insisted on stuffing himself into it!
