Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[Dean]

Put this in the occupancy board as it relates to fitting 5 in a 1-BR.

I'm aware that they will only provide bedding for 4 in a 1-BR. I have 3 kids aged 8,6 and 6 (the six-year olds are small for their age). Sleeping 5 in the room would mean having one of them sleep with us in the bedroom (which I would like to avoid if possible) or fitting 3 in the sleeper.

They have all slept in a sleeper at HHI before , albeit just for one-night. They were tight, but they're all sound sleepers and said they didn't even notice.

The 1 BR units have a queen sleeper and King bed in the Master. I think you'll be fine with the 3 on the sleeper.

I would go for a resort that has the sleeper chair in a 1 bedroom - the HHI sleeper is a queen size - Disney sleepers are a very small full/double. Or bring an air mattress.

I think all DVC one bedroom units have a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, the double sleepers are in the studios. I would agree that for 3 kids, they'd be more comfortable in a one bedroom unit that also has the single sleeper chair.

never mind

Boardwalk 1BR do not have the sleeper chair (no room)

That is correct. Only BLT, AKV (non-Value villas) and OKW have the sleeper chair at WDW. SSR, BWV, BCV, AKV-Value and VWL do not.

Even then I think they'd have to amend the POS to allow more than they have in the past. Certainly they could so so since it's an added benefit and not a removal of a benefit.

I would bring an air mattress. There is just enough room for one in the living room between the couch and the outside patio....or on either side of the master bed.

OK,
Just out of curiosity does anybody know what is the rule on occupancy in a studio and 1br for ALL the resorts?

I just read the post that BWV allows up to 5 in 1br but not giving a bedding. Does that mean 5+1 infant?

Does that rule applies to OKW rooms with sleeps 4 as well? What about WLV?

I'm just confused because it seems like the rule is not really a rule

 

[vicki_c]

All studios are 4 + infant, whether booked through DVC or Disney.

This is my understanding of the 1 BR rules:
1 BRs are all unofficially 5 (+infant I assume) when booked through Member Services, but officially stated occupancy is 4+infant except for the places that now have the sleeper chair.

1 BRs are 4+infant booked through Disney if it doesn't have the sleeper chair, and based on a post I saw today, apparently at least OKW is still 4+infant because you can't book 5 in an OKW 1 BR on the website through Disney (someone posted this question today on the resort board). Not sure about AKV and BLT - I think you can book 5 in those through Disney.

Only the one bedrooms that officially sleep five are five plus one (that would be AKV and BLT). All the others are four plus one. Through DVC that one can be someone aged three or older, but not one more under the age of three. They cannot sleep six.

And, like Vicki says, no studio sleeps five. Only four.

I have been reading through these posts but I am still not sure: Can you book 9 people, all over 3, in a 2BR at BCV on points through MS? Thank you!

They might allow it, but you wouldn't want to do it. You'd be crowded and uncomfortable.

Thanks Vicki and Deb&Bill.
So total occupancy should still be total 5 regardless if the room has 4 or 5 bedding (1br)right?

Right - but if it's a 4 occupancy person room - you will need to bring an Aerobed and bedding.

Thanks vicki!

 

[bookwormde]

Yes you can book 9 (over 2) in a 2br at BCV on points

Hi everyone. I am new to the idea of renting DVC and all that comes with it, so thanks for your patience!

My cousin owns DVC at AKV and has offered to sell us points for our upcoming trip. We are interested in several of the DVC properties and would be willing to stay at any of the studios available during our time frame.

Travelers are my parents, myself, DH, and DD(1)-- so 4 adults and 1 baby. Space-wise we don't need much, as we are never in our rooms. Currently we are booked in separate rooms but we were thinking if we could get a DVC studio it would be perfect for our needs.

However, I'm worried DVC won't let us stay in a studio because there are technically 5 of us, although DD would be in a pack n' play and not a bed.

Does anyone know if 4 adults and 1 baby would be allowed in a "sleeps up to 4" studio?

Thank you in advance!

One child under the age of 3 does not count towards occupancy.

 

[Brian Noble]

There is an Occupancy thread, to which this post will probably be banished. But...

There are two answers to your question. First, any Disney unit that sleeps four will implicitly accept a fifth toddler/infant, provided the child is under three. So, yes, the five of you could technically fit in a studio.

However, I would *never* want to do that. Consider a 1BR for the additional comfort and conveniences. These also generally sleep up to four (except for BLT, AKV-Kidani, and OKW, which sleep five), but will be much more comfortable for your party.

Four adults and a child under 3 would be allowed in a unit that has an occupancy rating of 4. I agree with the poster above -- four in a Studio is a little tight. If your budget allows getting into a 1-BR, you would be better off. See if you can plan your trip during a low season to get the lowest point values. Of course, it kind of depends on how many points your cousin has to offer.
