DVC Beds…. Why?

[Girlstar30]

But would there be room for a King, a Queen (fold out or Murphy), AND a pack n play crib for an infant?

The infant can go

Except infants don't count towards room "occupancy" limits, their sleeping areas still need to need considered in the room layout and square footage when considering furnishings. While I don't regularly travel with infants, there was one along on a big group trip several years ago. Tri[ was planned at 11 months out, and then...oops...someone unexpectedly got pregnant. It was a group of 16. AT least we were spread over two-2 bedrooms and a1 bedroom unit.

The average DVC studio is already pretty tight in terms of navigating the space. I can't imagine what it would be like if you replaced the Queen wiht a King.

We stayed at the Beach Club, Poly, Saratoga and WL and I feel like they all could have fit a King. Granted WL was before the refresh and the Murphy beds. I also seem to remember AKL could have as well, but I didnt take photos of the room and could very well be wrong on that one.

The option would be nice for some rooms

One the other hand, it could also be a booking nightmare to add another "guaranteed" category to a DVC Resort. The more categories, the less overall long term availability and flexibility. Meaning booking the room on the very first day your window opens, or increasing reservation walking. It would be a situation much like "value" bookings at AKL, while also removing some existing studios from the standard category. Or the tower 2=person studios at Riviera. It would also be less flexible for lock-off units. the "King" studios would almost have to be dedicated rooms, and unable to be added to a lock-off unit. If there were a building, like VGF, that is ALL studios, it may work, but not in a case where there are all kinds of units mixed into a tower, or even like the case at OKW where all one bedrooms and studios could potentially be part of a lock-off.

They just need to make it more points than a queen to scare people off. The AKL value bookings are popular because theyre so cheap. Why cant the kings be part of a lockoff? They're two seperate rooms connected by a door. They just need to specify king lockoff. And make it more expensive than a queen lockoff, I think it could work. Maybe somewhere more adults stay like riv

They could do this only in a new resort. To apply to existing DVC resorts (the ones that are condo associations, anyway, not sure about the CFW trust) they’d have to reduce point costs for the queen bed studios in order to charge more for king bed studios, so that the total points for that resort didn’t increase. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t trust DVC to do the reallocation math correctly!

Disney King Resort. All king hotel

I'm actually a little surprised they didn't include some King rooms in the VGF conversion of BPK, but I think that means King Beds in studios are, for now, not happening.
