Five in a one-bedroom at BCVs?

[SL6827]

Will DVC allow 5 in a one-bedroom at the Beach Club? (if you bring in your own bedding)

 

[erionm]

Yes.

The only 1-bedrooms that don't allow a fifth person over the age of 2 are the Values at AKV Jambo House and Copper Creek.

Wonder why not at Copper Creek?

I think Size wise it's too small, not eough room.

Fire regulations at Copper Creek, converted hotel rooms.

All of the Jambo House DVC Rooms are converted hotel rooms and only the Values don't allow 5.

The Jambo rooms were converted from larger hotel rooms than CC. AKL had two sizes of hotel rooms, the larger ones became DVC except for the value rooms.

I consider that reason the urban legend of room occupancy.

Yes I’m sure it will be fine. I stopped at GCV for 3 nights on way to Aulani. I have a friend who lives in Arizona and was gonna drive and crash on my floor. I posted a thread and let’s say received mixed response.

She had a car I did not and wanted to make sure she would get free parking.
So I walked down to front desk told CM, I have a friend visiting from Arizona and I had every intention of her crashing on the floor with her sleeping bag..... is this a problem

No problem at all let me print up a card for her so she can use that for parking
Works out perfect all around.
My friend stayed 2 nights... purchased 2 day park ticket, ate drank and be merry. Plus I scored a ride to airport
Edit to add I told her to bring her own towels.... we are a family of 4 and get 4 LOL!!
Happy planning

So, when staying DVC you need to bring extra towels if you want the normal amount you use at home? We like towels.

Well they give you a set amount which is supposed to last for days til the scheduled trash and towel. They will bring extra towels if you call they are supposed to charge a fee I think.

When I get to room I always request extra pillows and blankets. Sometimes at that point I might ask for extra. But I put my towel monster DD on towel alert...use and hang
In a 1BR it’s less of a hassle.

A villa will get as many towels as official sleeping spaces. So most of the one bedrooms will get five if they sleep five officially. BCV, SSR, BWV, BRV, CCV will get four. You can purchase a towel pack for $6 that includes four bath towels, two hand towels, four face cloths and a tub mat each day you get service (they won't replace these towels on your first service day). Just call Housekeeping and tell them you want to purchase a towel pack for $6.

With one bedroom and larger, it is easy to launder your towels each day. With a studio you need to haul them to the laundry room.

Guess I'll be hauling them. But that is a good reason for a one bedroom. We use a lot of towels at home, and will so when on vacation.

I wouldn't, just ask for a towel pack, that'll give you 4 extra above the occupancy. If they charge you so be it. Then on the change day make sure you are washing all the towels you have so they'll leave more. That'll give you plenty with the W/D, it's a bit more challenging for a studio which is why I thought this was a bad move, that and the fact they're inconsistent on charging

 

[alldiz]

Was a towel pack always $6
I can’t imagine why I thought it was a lot more.
Good to know.
Thanks

I don't think it's changed since inception.

When me and my two daughters shower each day we use 2-3 towels each, then my husband might use 1-2. That is like around 10 towels a day. It is a guilty pleasure. But to think of it, we could hang them out on a balcony to dry and re-use the next day. But here at home, they go straight into the washer and dryer.

Then get 2 towel packs or even 3 if you need them. I wouldn't bring towels in this situation.

Don't hang stuff on the balcony to dry. Against DVC rules.
