Family of 5 at DVC resort...

[wildernesslodgelover]

What are the options for a couple and their 3 daughters, all between the ages of 8-14? We are a family of 3 and always stay in a studio so I am not sure what to recommend to her. What are their options at BCV, BWV, VWL, OKW or SSR? These are their order of preference. They will be staying 7 nights, so they are trying to budget the points a bit, if possible. It is their first WDW EVER, they are from kansas, so I want to make good suggestions for them. They are going in October. Thanks!

Member Services is currently allowing 5 people of any age into one bedroom units. However, an extra bed, bed linens and towels will not be supplied, you would need to provide a sleeping bag or air mattress, and any bed linens. Extra towel packs are available from housekeeping for $6. The exception would be a non-value AKV one bedroom, as there is a pull out sleeper chair in addition to the sleeper sofa. Value AKV one bedroom are smaller in size, and pretty much have a "firm" occupancy of 4.

Otherwise, a two bedroom would be more comfortable, and have enough beds and linens.

Studio occupancy is 4 plus a child under three in a pak n play.

Since occupancy discussions are a hot topic on the DVC boards, they are limited to this thread: DVC Occupancy thread, where you may continue the discussion, if you wish.
