Family of 5 in a Kidani 1BR- storage?

[HPSF1]

We are trying to save points and stay in a 1BR instead of our usual 2BR. Our 3 kids (12, 10, & 8) will sleep on the pull outs- but I am wondering where I can put their suitcases and clothes so it doesn't explode across the living room. I know there is a closet by the entry with a washer & dryer but I can't remember if there is space to store things. Also, does the TV stand have drawer? What are your hacks for keeping a crowded villa organized?

It will be a challenge IMO. No ideas on storage area - it's been too long since we stayed in a Kidani villa, but I will suggest that you pack as little as possible and plan to use the washer & dryer.

We did a one bedroom at Kidani with my son who was maybe 6 or 7 at the time, my parents and my husband and I . I don't recall storage being an issue at all and we were there for a week. There is room next to the washer and dryer, plus the space in front of the lock off door and the drawers under the TV. There's also a good size closet in the master bathroom.

You will have a washer/dryer to use for free, pack light and do a load or two as needed.

Thanks! Glad to see there is lots of drawer storage.

We stayed in a AKV Kidani one bedroom a couple summers ago with 5 when the boys were 13, 11 and 4. We piled suitcases in the far left corner of the master - there was quite a bit a space between the bed/nightstand and the wall that bordered the master bathroom. I believe we also piled a couple in front of the connecting door since we had no reason to open it. The six drawers under the main TV that we divided out between the three of them.

We are a huge proponent of ebags packing cubes and color code each person so that there stuff is easily found and moved. HtH

No trouble with storage. You have two big closets, six drawers in the living room, six in the bedroom, two end table drawers and the end tables in the living room have shelves where kids can store personal items. Bathrooms have tons of storage. Unless you pack all your worldly possessions, you’ll be fine. I find the kidani one bedrooms to be the roomiest of all dvc one bedrooms.
