Help with recommendations for five people

We like staying at a Deluxe resort. Beach Club is our favorite, but we like all deluxe resorts.
So, here is my concern for our trip in June. My daughters are age 19 and 13, and my 19 year old wants to bring her boyfriend with us. I'm not sure what the best for us would be. Ideally, we could get two rooms, but I just can't afford it. Has anyone stayed with basically five adults in one room? What about a studio at one of the villas? Is it much more room than a regular room? I've even considered Windsor Hills, but we have never stayed off property, so I'm just not sure how satisfied we'd be.
I appreciate any advice!

We are a family of 5 (husband, wife, 3 kids now 19, 17, 12) and have always stayed in one standard room or one studio. Space has never been an issue for us but I know it is with others. You can find the square footage of the rooms online and then make your decision based on whats comfortable for you.

Studios at the villas are not bigger than the standard rooms, really. In some respects, due to space use for kitchenettes, they can often be smaller.

You might consider downgrading the resort to get two rooms.

What is your position on bed arrangements?
The cabins at fort wilderness have a
Bedroom that sleeps 4 (one queen plus bunk beds) and then a pull out sofa in the living room.

You might look at a one bedroom villa at OKW. Or, it'll cost more, one bedroom at AKV or BLT.
The studios that sleep 5 have a trundle type bed, which may not work for your sleeping arrangements.

A beach club studio can now fit five with the addition of the Murphy bed that's a tiny twin, hopefully your daughter's BF is short.

Perhaps DD's BF would like to pay for the other room?

With 5 adults, I would much prefer a standard room over a studio. With a standard deluxe room (like the ones at BC), you will get two queen beds and a daybed. With a studio, you would get one queen, one queen pull-out and a murphy bed. If you are ok staying in one room, together, I would just go with BC. If you would prefer two rooms, as PP suggested, you may want to consider two rooms at a mod (we like POR and POFQ). You may also want to price out a deluxe room at WL, but it's a CL room, so it may cost more than the standard room at BC (they are really awesome though!) That has two queens plus a separate room with a pull-out.

Thanks everyone!
He actually offered to pay, but honestly, I know he can't afford it. They are college students with part time jobs. He is 6'5", so bedding might be an issue.

I know it says you like deluxes, but the Art of Animation suites would be very convenient for your group. Otherwise I think you'll have to splurge a bit on something like the above mentioned Deluxe rooms at Wilderness Lodge, or a 1-bedroom villa.

Two rooms at a moderate might be an ok way to go too. Just stayed at Port Orleans Riverside (in the mansions) and absolutely loved the resort. It has such a wonderful atmosphere.

I'm in a similar situation, with 5 adults, 2 of which are my young adult daughters (and who take 4eva to get ready in the am) The 1 bathroom in the standard & deluxe rooms and the 1 bedroom suites/villas concern me. I guess the only option is either 2 rooms or a 2 bdrm villa?

Kidani's and BLT's 1 bedroom villas have two bathrooms, and have three sleeping areas.
