We are a family of 6. Two adults and 4 children, ages 9, 7, 7 & 2.
When I made our first reservation, MS said it was fine for the 6 of us to occupy a 1 bedroom villa. Since we purchased last September, we have stayed in 1 bedroom villas at OKW, VWL & BWV and all 3 stays I made MS aware of the size of our family. But for our next DVC stay in December, MS did tell me that we needed to start using 2 bedroom units because my youngest will be 3. So according to my dealings with MS they allowed 2 adults & 4 children as long as one was under 3, in a 1 bedroom.

My kids are growing and I realize that we need to start using 2 bedroom villas. That is the reason why we just purchased an add-on before the 7/1 price per point increase.

What I don't understand is why people get upset with the DVC owners when it should be DVC itself that you complain to.

Seriously, if people are allowed to do it and have permission then shouldn't you be upset with the people granting permission?

Complaining at people for being over the limit when they are obviously allowed to be just makes no sense to me.

We have 8 registered for a 2 bedroom villa. 3 of the 8 are little kids who can sleep 3 in the king bed. Our darling 20 something single niece wants to join us for 2 nights of our weeklong vacation. Will we be okay to allow her to just "crash" at our place or do we need to rent her a room. Don't want to be thrown out or anything!
TIA

If any of the kids are under the age of three, that would allow you one more over the age of three. But if all of them were three or older, you have hit the occupancy limit of 8 in a two bedroom.

Deb & Bill obviously mean eight in a two-bedroom.

Eight people in a one bedroom? Careful, thems fightin' words 'round here.

Since they started allowing 5 in a one bedroom, they seemed to also allow 9 in the two bedrooms. A friend of mine just registered 9 in her two bedroom this summer with no problem (none under age 3) and I even called and asked about it myself because we are planning a family trip with 9 of us next year and I wanted to see if we could do this or if we had to try for a GV. They said 9 in the two bedroom is now allowed, but they do not provide bedding and towels for the 9th person.

Call MS youself and ask them about it. I don't think you will have a problem unless they have changed their policy in the past month.

Enjoy your trip!

I can but 5 in a one bedroom with no problem our youngest sleep on an air mattress. 9 in a two bedroom is still plenty of room. 2 years ago when we purchased we ask about 5 in a one bedroom our sales man told us they don't mind at all. We have never had a problem

8 in a 1bdr. I'll have to try that

We are going to give the topic of Occupancy another chance here on our DVC Discussion Board. Please keep within our DIS Posting Guidelines, and allow the topic to remain open here. Thanks everyone in advance!

Hey CarolAnnC,

For my information... could this have been bumped to the DVC planning board? And if it had been, would there still be a link from this board to that? I think I have seen that happen, but am not sure.

Thanks

My situation is rare because I have 2 under 3 who are still in pack n plays. A 5yo and 4yo who would prefer to be on the floor in sleeping bags. All of them want to be together with us. So if I get a 2 BR, no one is going to sleep in that room...

With 6 you need a two bedroom villa. They will allow 5 in a one bedroom even though occupancy rules are 4. Sorry.

I would call Member Services and ask them about it because even though they'll allow only 5, with the 5 and 6th being under 3 they will most likely accommodate you. If they say yes, ensure they will allow all 6 names on the reservation (in the event, God forbid, of an emergency). If they say no, then get the 2 bedroom for sure. Good luck!

 

[momidoc4]

Thank you for this info. This allows me to reconsider how many points we should purchase now and add on later. I know as my kids get older I will definitely need a 2 BR. I had my broker call MS and they said we would have to be in a 2BR even with two of my kids being under 3.. This is a significant difference in the amount of points we need. maybe we will have to bring nana along to justify that 2nd BR.......

I can't read through this entire thread (it would take too long.)

Since the 1 bedroom occupancy is 5 now (if I'm reading right)....then can I have 5 plus 1 infant? Or is the 5 actually already 4 plus 1 infant.

I'm so confused.

I have 4 adults, a 4 yo and an infant. Are we allowed in a 1 bedroom?

Officially it's 4. But, they have allowed 4+infant and even 5 (no infants). However, I don't think they'll allow 5 + infant. You might be required to get a 2BR.

 

[Chuck S]

I agree, I do not think they'll allow 5 plus infant for a total of 6

I would recommend a call to Member Services to get an actual answer to your question rather than an opinion.

 

[dianeschlicht]

We were allowed 5 adults for 1 night in a 1 bedroom (I wouldn't reccomend it for a week though), and were told we could NOT have an infant also. Didn't matter to us, since we were just trying to find something less than 100 points for NYE and before we switched to our 2 bedroom on New Year's day.
