Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[doberlady]

.....not sure if they've changed how lenient they are with this. I think 6 and a baby will be tight doberlady.

You are right and my older daughter really wants to come but she is just not going to be able to, she will be starting grad school in Sept. Does OKW have toddler beds? Last Oct we rented a crib,

They don't have toddler beds, but I did see a pack n play in one of the closets. So your older dd is not going with you (you mentioned she was starting grade school) ? I would def allow her to come. It's going to be so difficult for her knowing you are going to Disney World & she can't go. We've often taken our kids out of school (especially when they were younger. It's easy for them to catch up in the early grades). Honestly, I'm not trying to sound preachy, but it just made me a little sad knowing she couldn't come with you all. Is she staying with family/friends ? I feel there's a world of education that can happen in a WDW vacation that far outweighs a few days of missed school. Those memories and experiences we've gained will last a lifetime. However, you know best, in respect to both your dd and the school district and I wish you all the best.
But if you can get either 2 studios or a 2 bedroom, I think you'll have a much better quality vacation.
Take care,

This will be our 3rd time at OKW and I forgot about the pack and play. My older daughter is 22 and is starting Graduate school LOL

LOL ! I read that as "grade" school (what a difference 1 little letter makes. It's just too early in the morning for me ! ) Too funny.......

Ok, thanks doberlady.....now I feel MUCH better ! I had visions of this little wide-eyed girl (insert tear in eye), watching longingly as you all head off to WDW. All the best to your dd in grad school

Need some info about room capacities!
Hi,
We want to go to Vero Beach in March. Unfortunately, we are a family of five and the only rooms available are studios. If the studio has two queen beds is it o.k. to bring along an air mattress for our five year old and all squeeze in or is that illegal. We were able to rent a 1 BR for five twice with no problem, but I am curious about whether this is possible in a studio. If not, are there connected studios available? I really don't want to split up our family.
Thanks in advance for any advice you veterans can give me!

5 in a studio is not permitted unless one is a child under 3. This seems to be enforced, also. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news.

The Vero studios have 1 queen bed and a full sleep sofa. There's no room for a 5th person (unless it's a baby aged 2 or younger sleeping in the porta-crib) and they won't book it to a party of 5. None of the studios connect with another studio - they each connect with a 1br to create a 2br villa.

 

[RobDoc]

The Inn Rooms at VB do connect- so that might be an option for you. You might even have an ocean view that way. As noted, none of the Studios connect, but the Inn Rooms in the main building do.

Good luck!

Connecting Inn rooms would give you 4 queen size beds. We like being in the Inn. You can go down to the store and get videos without leaving the building (or pick up snacks). Laundry is on the top floor and very easy to get to from all of the Inn rooms. The porch is great to sit on and just relax, and the pool is right next to the Inn.

Some of the Inn rooms sleep 5. We were in an Ocean View room that had two queen beds and a sleep sofa. Call MS and see if they will allow 5 in the inn rooms - I think you will be happier in the Inn rooms than a studio anyway. Our room also had a kitchenette area and since we had a great view of the ocean (most studios don't), I thought it a better value than the studios. Points were the same.

Best wishes -

I am planning on renting a DisneyWorld Resort studio for a week. One night I will need to house 5 people instead of 4 of us. Is there a problem putting someone on the floor for one night? Does Disney offer extra cots or mattresses for such a need? If Disney does - does it cost????

Thanks to anyone who knows! Bonnie

 

[Deb & Bill]

Unless one of the five is under the age of three, you cannot have five people in a studio. Disney will not provide extra bedding or linens for an extra person in a DVC villa on DVC points.

 

[CarolMN]

Just wanted to add that none of the DVC resorts even have cots or rollaways.

Best wishes -

The unwritten policy that can change anytime is that you can have 5 of any age in a ONE bedroom. A studio you can only have 4.

My DH, DD6 and I will be going to BWV in June and have now invited my parents--there are no studios at available at this time so we can't book 2 studios but don't want to waste points booking a 2 bedroom--will they let me book 5 in a one bedroom or would I have to sneek my daughter in (something I don't feel great about) and will they give you a rollaway bed?

Any advice???

 

[byoung]

I think you can book 5, but they will not give you a rollaway. You can take a air mattress.

 

[Poorman]

Get ready for the flames.Much has been said over the years about 5 in a one bedroom.

I see nothing wrong with this. The room is there, you have paid your points, they will not give you extra linens or towels. If you aren't doing a dining plan I think you can even get a key for the young one.

Have fun.

 

[ennisb]

Flames.. Humbug

We are also doing five in a one bedroom. DVC had not issue with this at all. We are using an air bed would do this either way as my son and daughter are to old to share a bed.

Have Fun

or would I have to sneek my daughter in (something I don't feel great about) and will they give you a rollaway bed?

Ask DVC about it but I hope you were kidding about this part.
