I learned something AMAZING about the studio's @ BWV

[Disney1fan2002]

I called MS to day to see if I could book a rollaway bed for our May trip.
We are a party of 4 in a one bedroom a boy 12 and girl 4 who can't sleep togther. MS told me they don't allow extra bedding or bed in the Villas. I quess I'll have to pack a bed for the 4 year old.

What resort are you staying at? From the way the CM said it, I want to assume that we are talking about just BWV. To quote her she said "There are a limited number of studio's at BWV that allow 5 people in a studio because of a rollaway bed"

To me, its sounding more and more like she misspoke and was referring to the "daybed" in some BWV studios. Some BWV studios do have a daybed, which will fit a small child (apparently a seven year old, maybe a small nine year old). However, these are no longer a guarenteed class of rooms and are not directly bookable. This makes the five in a studio problem difficult for BW because you can have a fifth older than three small child in that studio, but they won't guarentee you get it.

I'm with crisi - they said "limited number of studios" not "limited number of rollaways".

I also wonder if there is confusion caused by cross-pollenation of CMs from non-DVC resorts where they may have rollaways to DVC resorts where they do not.

I'm also with Crisi the MS CM I spoke to checked with her supervisor and she said bedding is available for 5 in a studio if one is a young child.
I think they are referring to the daybed bench which is small. I'm staying at the BWV.

And that would be fine. I am just thrilled to have 5 booked in a studio, all 3 kids can sleep in the 2nd bed, so rollaway, no rollaway, daybed or no day bed, the fact that I only have to use 14 points as opposed to 30, makes me very, very happy!

So, if they are not guaranteed requests, then booking 5 in a studio could get messy at check in. WOW. Like I said in an earlier post, all 3 kids can fit in the queen bed, so even if a daybed room is not available when we check in, as long as they allow the 5 of us in a regular studio, all will be good.

My own two cents is that if all the names appear on the reservation, you'll be fine at check in. But then this turns into the dreaded occupancy debate, and I don't want to go there.
