Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[MaryAnnDVC]

No, only for the sleeper sofa. You'll have to provide your own for the fifth person.

I don't think I explained myself well. We'd be in a 2 BR (DH nixed the idea of one bathroom for 5 people, no matter how many points we'd save) so I was just wondering if there would be a blanket available that wasn't on a bed. So there would be a blanket (and other bedding I presume...what size?) for the pullout in the living room of a 1-BR?

Now I'm getting myself .

The sleeper sofa should already have the sheets on the bed. The pillow and blanket might not be on the bed, but might be on the closet shelf, in the coffee table or even in the pocket on the sleeper sofa (the newest types at BCV and BWV had a storage space for the pillow and blanket.

OK, good. I suppose we COULD let DS sleep on the sleeper sofa in the living room, but that's too disruptive. I like having two rooms (our bedroom, the living room) look decent on vacation. I try not to even go into the 2nd bedroom once the kids make it look "lived in".

So, we'll get a twin sized aerobed, and bring a twin-sized bottom sheet.

I know that bedding is not included for the 5th person, but do they get a key? My in-laws may join us for a couple of days.

We are at SSR, but waitlisted over at AKV ... everything else is sold out for mid August!

For a 5th under 3 yes, for a 1 BR yes at the present time, for as studio no though YMMV.

Is the occupancy of the rooms a suggestion or are they enforced? We have 3 small children 5,2 and 1 and won't see an issue with enough room in 1 br (especially at OKW) for at least another 6+ years. Using sleeping bags etc don't see why the kids can't sleep on the floor. Anyway to the question, when the youngest is 3 will we have to get 2BR? Just seems like a waste of points as the 1BR seems like more than enough room. We own at SSR and OKW for now. What do all of you do that are in this situation

Thanks for you input.

All one bedrooms, except for the one bedrooms at AKV (not including the value one bedrooms), only sleep four. However, MS currently has allowed you to add a fifth person to the room. No extra towels or bedding will be provided for the fifth person. You still only get four bath towels, two hand towels and four face cloths. This could change after Kidani village opens up.

Read the paperwork you received when you bought. It says four in a one bedroom.

While what Deb says is true, MS has currently been allowing 5 in a 1 bedroom. At OKW there is a sleep sofa in the 1 bedroom PLUS a non-pullout love seat. When the sofa is pulled open, the love seat can be pushed up to it, making a larger area where all three children could sleep. Also, the laundry room off the master is big enough for a twin airbed or the pac N play crib.

Thanks for the info and I understand it says four. Just wondering if it is an enforced thing or something they recommend. That makes sense about only providing enough towels etc for 4 people. I hope they keep the trend about allowing to add a 5th. Actually we probably only need one bed, for some reason when I go to sleep it is just the wife and I but when I wake up there is 3 little extra rugrats in the bed

Well, good thing the one bedroom units have a king sized bed then, Isn't it?

We would be 4 adults and one 8-year old. I called MS this week to book dining and asked about a key for the 5th person in a one bedroom. They said that I could indeed get a key for the 5th person but (as mentioned here) no towels or bedding. That's OK with me. My 8-year would love to "camp out" with a sleeping bag.

FWIW, we might go ahead and try to upgrade to a 2BR if my in-laws decide to come with us. They are LATE sleepers while we try to get to the parks when they open. I don't want to give up my king bed and I don't want to bother them in the morning, so the extra points may be worth being able to use the kitchen in the morning, LOL!

We just stayed in a BWV studio Friday night and there were 6 bath towels, and at least 4 hand towels and I think 6 washcloths. Definitely 6 bath towels tho. We were also in a BWV studio Tuesday night, but I don't recall quantities.

That was extremely unusual and not the norm.

 

[Kurby]

how many people are allowed in a 1 bdrm?

we are thinking of booking trip after next with my brothers who won't want to sleep in the pull out couch together.

i'm just trying to figure out if we need to be in a 2 bedroom or can get away with a 1 bdrm if we can request a cot.

 

[chalee94]

the limit is 4, except for AKV non-value 1BRs.

i don't think you can request a cot or anything like that at DVC. you can bring your own inflatable mattress or something if needed.

and you probably should just post on this thread since you're probably going to get kicked there soon anyway...

 

[Kurby]

oh thanks - i didn't know that thread was there.

 

[Rock'n Robin]

The limit may be 4, officially, but I was told by my guide that if we brought our own bedding 5 are OK in a 1BR. If I hadn't heard that I'd have bought more points.

Not only do you have to bring your own bedding, you also have to provide towels for the fifth guest since you only get four bath towels, two hand towels, and four face cloths.

And, no, Kurby, DVC does not provide cots or rollaways.

Is it out of the question to have 2 adults and 3 children (youngest is 4) in a one bedroom or even a studio villa. Thanks.

MS will not allow 5 people in a studio unless one of them is an infant under the age of 3. A portable crib is provided for the infant.

MS will allow 5 person in a 1 bedroom unit. No extra bedding or bathroom linens (or a cot or rollaway) are provided to accommodate the fifth person. You are on your own to provide that. But all 5 persons will be registered to the room and will receive a room key.

The 1 bedroom units in the standard, savanna & concierge categories at the AKV will officially sleep 5. There is a "sleep chair" in the living room for the 5th person. Note that the value category will only sleep 4.
