Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[drusba]

Official documents given to new buyers when they purchase provide for maximum occupancy of 4 in a 1BR and 8 in a 2BR (but to either you can add a child under 3 in a crib). It is something that DVC has not generally enforced but has the right to do so if it so chooses.

You probably ought to get a studio as well as the two bedroom villa. Then one or two of the adults could camp out over there.

Please help me understand this...I called MS to make ressie for 2BR at BCV. I informed them there would be 5 adults and 4 children (ages 4,5,5,5) staying in the room. We have stayed at BWV 4 years in a row now with 9 people in a 2 BR and have never had a problem. However, this time the CM told me we absolutely WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHECK IN if we showed up with 9 people!! I told her we would leave one of the kids at home, so she reluctantly made the ressie. Have you ever had this experience? Since when did MS start enforcing limits on number of people in room? We even had 6 adults and 5 kids in our 2 BR a couple of months ago...CM's happily issued each person their own card and never mentioned to us we had exceeded the limit. I'm stressed out now that when we do show up we will have to try to "hide" one of our kids!

Get a studio for 4 people, then a 1 bedroom for 5 people(as listed above). Tell them you want them next to each other. This equals a 2 bedroom lockoff. 9 people.

Would there be any problem at check-in if you have 4 adults + an infant(DS1) while staying at a studio? Also, in regards to the infant, does VB/BWV/BCV & SSR have a pack-n-play that you can use? Does the pack-n-play cost extra?

 

[Stimpy]

They do have pack&plays free of charge to use. They provide a fitted sheet but you need to bring your own blankets. You may also want to bring 1 fitted sheet of your own in case of a nighttime accident.

A studio would be crowded with 4 adults and 1 child under 3 but it's allowed. The pull out is kind of small for 2 adults.

You might want to go with a 1Br. It will give you more space to move about, plus you will have a washer and dryer in the suite. Less hassle getting things clean if the baby has an accident.

Or go to OKW where there are 2 queen beds in the studio.

Or stay in a Vero Beach Inn room which also has two queen sized beds.

The sleeper sofa in the studios is only a double sized bed.

 

[kjkelley]

Would this definately be a problem at check-in, if you have 4 adults + DD5 staying in a studio (I know space would be tight)?

 

[kjkelley]

If this is a no for a studio, is it also definately a no for a 1 Bedroom w/ 4 adults and DD5?

 

[Happy Birthday Cat]

IMHO space would be tight. But if you make the reservation through MS and they put all five of your names on the reservation, then I can't believe it would be a problem at check in.

5 in a room is a major topic of debate. Many have reported here that MS will let you make such a reservation. Others have said they won't. Call and see what they say but be prepared to go to a bigger unit.

Some people say that 2 Adults and 3 children have been "accepted" as 1 bedroom occupancy, but it's made clear that no additional bedding will be provided.

This is such a hot topic!

For my own personal use, I just made a ressie for 2 studios for 4 female adults, I would really like every one to have their own bed in this case, but BWV standard studios were available. I actually feel bad that 2 people will have pull-outs. I had been planning to go with OKW 2 studios, but this seemed like a bargain, for only 2 points more than the 2 OKW studios.

We had 5 in a 1 bedroom this past November and MS and OKW said "fine". It was dh, myself and three kids (all over age 10).
We brought an aerobed and there was plenty of space at OKW.

I had been planning to go with OKW 2 studios, but this seemed like a bargain, for only 2 points more than the 2 OKW studios.

I'm assuming you mean due to the proximity of Epcot ? Otherwise, as an adult, I don't think I'd be too comfortable on a pull-out unless it was only for a day or two. I'd much prefer a queen bed to myself. Just a thought ?

 

[RichieGraciemom]

They will not let you put five on the reservation for a studio, but was told they wont do a head count in the rooms. Again, this is a heated topic, but do what you feel comfortable. My daughter will be just turning three and still sleeps in a pak and play, that is why we are putting five, but again ms would not take her name. have a good trip

 

[rocketriter]

You can put 4 plus a baby in a studio, but your party will get real friendly and the baby will be everybody's boss.

Talk about occupancy limits ! They should have gotten a GV !
Well....I suppose if the sextuplets were under age 3...........
