Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[jiggerj]

Oh, boy... this has been a touchy subject here on the Dis- As far as I know (told to ME by MS) that you CAN have 5 in a room but will not provide extra bedding for the 5th person. There is more...much more on this subject in another thread- Good luck! The BC is great!

 

[CaliforniaDreaming]

That's right, they will allow a 5th person, but will not provide any additional bedding (rollaway). I think, too, they'll charge extra if you want additional towels (since, with a 1BR, they would give you enough for 4 people).

 

[Aneille]

It shouldn't be a problem but they will not supply anything for that 5th person.

You could bring your own aerobed though.

Hope you have on your fireproof clothing! Just kidding, although this can be a very touchy subject!

Smokers in a NS room (which spoils it for the following group(s) or people who allow children with buckles on shoes to climb on and snag the furniture covers or who spill coffee on the carpet and leave it to form a permanent stain are the ones who damage DVC far more. [/QUOTE]


Yes! I agree that everyone needs to treat our property with care - especially the smoking and stains! We are always as careful as we are at home, and do not leave huge messes for the staff to clean up, either. I don't know how they can police the damage.

During our school fall break, I would like to take my two girls ( 9 & 4) to the Halloween party. (Hubbie can't go; coaches high school football). My mother would like to go and take my two nieces ( 6 & 4). With four small children could we possibly squeeze into a studio at Old Key West? Sleeping bag? We've visited the All-Star Music twice and last trip in '03 stayed at the Dolphin with my teacher discount. I would like to avoid two getting two rooms. Any suggestions? I don't have exact dates yet because I'm waiting on the school board to approve 2006-2007 calendar. Thanks!

There is no way I woul even attempt it.Even in a one bedroom .
Warning, This is going to turn into a debate.if its not closed first.
I do not think it is right to do that it says 4 with a child under 3

 

[Deb & Bill]

Add this to the Occupancy Thread. No way, no how, never!!!!! VERY HOT TOPIC!!!!!

Get two rooms.

Oops, naughty, naughty!

In October 05,I took my husband, mother and father in law and 9 year old twins, to the Halloween party.It was fantastic and we all stayed in a studio.Take sleeping bags and don't tell anyone.Enjoy!!!

I completely agree. 5 in a 1BR or 9 in a 2BR when it is family or group who take care of the place and treat it like a precious investment (which is what we do) shouldn't be a problem.

Smokers in a NS room (which spoils it for the following group(s) or people who allow children with buckles on shoes to climb on and snag the furniture covers or who spill coffee on the carpet and leave it to form a permanent stain are the ones who damage DVC far more.

I also would like to see pool hopping enforced more (it's a great perk when it isn't abused) - but I wish they would allow it at Stormalong Bay (again) or at AKLodge when they aren't busy.

One of the points I've made many times is that ALL of those issues should be addressed including the occupancy issues.

Are you serious?
I cannot believe people actually do this.We the DVC owners are the ones in the end paying for your abuse. .
it is stated that 4 plus a child under 3 for a studio and 1 bedroom.It is for fire codes also.
What are you suppose to do not add everyone to the reservation?Well to take advantage of EMH everyone has to have a room key and if you lie how are you going to get into the parks?
And if a DVC member rents to you knowing that there will be that many in the room,then shame on them.

 

[Dean]

Deleted, not because I don't feel that way but because this is the rent trade board and not for discussion. I didn't realize that's where we were until later.

 

[Callalily6]

To avoid being naughty - the Yatch Club (the main section) allows 5 in a room, plus one child under age 3 in a crib. That seems to be the only one that has occupancy for 6.

I don't get it, why is this occupancy thing so important that a few people would post so many, many, many, many times here. have some of the frequent posters here counted how many times they have posted on this?

whats the point

geeeez,

It is important that folks realize that while being allowed now non inforcement of the occupancy rules can be stopped at anytime. Just because you got to book 5 in a 1br this year does not mean you will in the future. Folks have told of booking 5 (not counting child under 3) in studio in the past. Now that is not done. Some DVC members worry about wear and tear on the units when over occupancy occurs. Some DVC members are rule followers. Some want to advise prospective members of the number of points that are needed so they can plan. It is unfortunate that the DVC members who are trying to inform are painted as party poopers raining on the parade.

geeeez,

realize that like in this thread, many thread's have been added to this one over time. Thus the number of posts on this thread is artificial. But to answer the question of why the occupancy is important to some of us, I can only answer for myself. It is the rules in writing and rules are important to me. Also there is an effect on the rest of us, the only debatable issue is how much effect on parking, pool crowding, use and abuse of all aspect, increased maint of units.

Since this was moved, I'll reinsert my thought above. Essentially it said room stuffing then not telling was lying and that it spoke to the integrity of the persons involved.

geeeez,

Just so you don't think I and the other few people post so many times just to pump up or post counts. This thread was merged. My last two posts were on the original thread incorrectly placed on the Rent/Trade Board. The Moderators moved and merged said thread with the existing occupancy thread. Thus my only recent post on this thread, is defending my posting on another thread.

Along with what Dean said, you either believe in rules and the law, or you consider yourself 'special' (exempt from rules and above the law).

Hope that helps!

Correct, usually after a few replies, occupancy threads are merged into this thread.
