Extra people in room

[diggz14]

Hello- first post...I have been going to WDW for years both as a young family and as a empty nester. Now my wife and I want to take our college aged kids to WDW in January. I booked the resort (Pop Century) for the second week in January,a nd when I did it was for my wife and I as it is the default setting since my wife and I only usually go. When I went to add my kids it bumped my price by $400 for the stay (don't worry Disney you will still suck that money out of me before we leave). I understand this is normal hotel practice (I think it's dumb, but who am I). Usually when we travel together elsewhere I book as a single and no one ever questions it. I am not cheap, but seems silly to pay that extra money.

Anyway, my question...most hotels dont care, but with WDW linking everything together if I don't add them what problems may I face (virtual queues I assume should be fine since those are ticket based), I know pool access, and room access may be an issue unless I get actual key cards and share it with them. Any other issues that I should be aware of?

Early entry at the parks.

What you can do is go to the front desk at arrival and update your reservation. I‘m not 100% sure they will tack that extra fee then, but others have said they didn’t have to pay the extra adult charges that way. That’s one thing I like about DVC - they don’t have those charges.

Thanks, early entry doesn't really matter to us, so thats one thing I am not concerned with.

if management becomes aware, you may be told to vacate property immediately. It is often obvious when four adults are occupying a single hotel room.

Depending on when you are going you can get a standard view DVC room at a few of a different villas for around the same price as pop century. You just have to rent the points (check out the dvc rental forum here on disboards). There is no occupancy based pricing just max occupants per room. Standard deluxe villa's are 5 adults.

Discussion of circumventing or ways to circumvent Disney policy (eg, not listing all individuals in occupancy to avoid the extra adult fee) is not allowed on DISBoards.

Thank you.
