Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[jbhaupt]

My DH was making our 1 bdrm reservation at BC for 05. He stated 2 adults and 3 children...before even saying the ages he said the MS girl said you are only permitted 4 in a one bdrm. After he told the ages she said "OK". I was told by Guide and others in "power" that 5 were permitted but no sleeping accomodations would be provided. This did not happen when 04 reservations were made or prior to becoming DVC member. Has this happen to anyone recently??

Thanks

The above thread (1 bedroom Occupancy) covers this in detail starting around page 7 or 8...

You need to learn how to play the game. My first reservations MS tried to do the same. There are also five of us. Now when I make the resv. I either say my daughter is under three or I make the resv. for four of us.
My feeling is that you own the points.

So then did she allow the reservation for 5?

My understanding was that someone here said that the official DVC policy had been changed and they were now allowing 5 in a 1 BR. Do others remember that? If so, why hasn't MS been informed?

It was reported a guide said this during the weekly update meeting, hardly an official representation. Some have been denied 5 in a studio and 1 BR, most have not.

You mean lie. If DVC allows you to have 5 in a 1 BR, that's one thing. To lie or sneak them in is a totally different one.

Not sure why owning the points allows for breaking the rules. I own my car but I don't run red lights.

How do you get enough ID's for your family members. Or do you not go to Early Entry or the late Extra Magic Hours.

We recently purchased SSR and are planning on taking my brother and his famiily Total of . That is a total of 9. Four adults and children ranging from 6-14. I know area space wise we will be fine with 9 people in a two bedroom but does disney allow nine. When we originally took the tour we were told you could have 9 but bedding was only supplied for 8 now we are getting conflicting information. Any help appreciated as this will be our first trip on our own DVC.

Ears to you,


Linda

Linda - DVC does not do a bed check - WDW does.

expect this post to get closed - there is a heated discussion on it.

In our 2BR at BWV, there was 1 Queen and 1 pull-out sofa in the second bedroom. That's 4. In the living room; a pull-out sofa, that's 2 more. In the master bedroom; a king bed, that's 2 more. Total of 8. You should only get bedding for the 4 beds.

 

[DebbieB]

I assume the 4 adults are 2 couples. One could take the king bed in the master and one the queen in the 2nd bedroom. Then the kids could fight for the 2 pullouts and any extra bedding you bring (sleeping bags, aero beds).

Currently have ressie at WL for Feb 6-10th (2 adults-2 kids age 7 and 8). Now third adult wants to join the party. Is a one-bd villa at WL an option? Can we have that many people in the villa? I cannot seem to find a definitive answer. DVC vets please help!!!!!

Cindy,

You would be over the room occupancy... and way over the comfort level since 3 people would be sleep out in the living room. I would suggest trying to get a 2BR.

Thanks Jim,
My plan was for my husband, daughter and myself to sleep in the master bedroom (we do this at home) and have 8 y/o son sleep on air mattress in MB and have granny on the sofa bed. I had read on a thread that 5 are allowed in a one bedroom and that no linens or bedding would be provided for a 5 th person. Seems to be conflicting information on the DIS board. I want to be legal and not break the rules.

Visited your Web page. I am a pharmacist and my SIL is a dialysis nurse who treats many with kidney failure due to diabetes. You are so correct about the tight glucose control!! I wish you well and will keep you in my prayers.

[...] and have 8 y/o son sleep on air mattress in MB and have granny on the sofa bed. [...]

I've got an honest and agenda-free question about this. We stayed in a 2BR at SSR - our first non-Studio DVC stay - and I honestly can't picture where in the MB one would put an air mattress. There didn't seem to be enough room on either side or between the foot of the bed and the TV. Is there really room?

IMHO - YMMV

When I stayed at BWV earlier this year, a friend slept on a twin aerobed next to the master bedroom king bed, between the bed and the balcony door. It fit there with no problem.

 

[kcmyluv]

Can anyone tell me if 5 people could fit in a one bedroom?

 

[sheryl0521]

4 adults and 1 child under 3 in the pack-n-play.

see the ongoing thread....

The 1 bedroom DVC units have a king bed in the bedroom and a queen sleep sofa in the living room. DVC does not provide rollaways or cots or even extra bedding to accomodate more than the stated maximum - 4 persons plus a child under 3 that can use the portable crib (Pac 'n Play).

It has been reported that MS will allow 5 on a one bedroom reservation, especially if the 5th person is a child. However, MS should also tell you that the resort will not provide extra beds/bedding. AFAIK, DVC has never done bed checks.

Best wishes -

P.S. The thread posted above can be entertaining to read, but it is very, very, very, very long!
