Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[bpmorley]

Why don't they add those sleeper chairs to the BW 1BRs?

That's a good idea

 

[DebbieB]

While I don't have any "real world" knowledge of whether or not this rule is actually enforced, there is a provision in the DVC contract which specifically prohibits exceeding the maximum occupancy room rates. If I was an owner renting points, I would not rent to someone who had more children than the room would allow. Also, from your standpoint and the fact that you have non-toddler children, I can't imagine that your kiddos would be very comfortable in a studio. I would say go for the 1 bedroom and really pamper yourself.

I have the BWV Product Understanding Checklist. It does show occupancy limits but there is no wording specifically prohibiting exceeding the occupancy.

Why don't they add those sleeper chairs to the BW 1BRs?

I don't think there is enough room to have both the sofabed and a chair open at the same time. That's why they didn't put the chairs in the value rooms at AKV.

I have read quite a bit of this thread and was wondering if you could help me. Would I be able to book the TreeHouse Villas with 10? 4 adults, and 6 children (2 -10 yrs, 2 -8 yrs, 1-6 yr, and 1 -4yr)?

Thanks,

Stephanie

Unfortunately, you have one too many for the THV. They are limited to nine people plus one under the age of three.

Can you sleep 5 in a 1BR at Vero?

Only if you bring an airbed for the 5th person.

Some recent posts have commented on having sleeper chairs in the VB 1-BR villas. Is this something that is consistent or just for certain villas?

It would be a decision for the BOD and they have not stated that intention.. If they wanted to, which they should given the availability at AKV & BLT, they would then have to consider whether it's feasible based on space and design. My guess is it's feasible in the VB 1 & 2 BR units as well as OKW & HH. For most units at BWV, BCV, SSR & VWL space would seem to conspire against this option unless they cut the sofa down to a love seat. I doubt they will just do the odd larger units at a given resort. If they can and do squeeze them inn, I'm thinking it'll be a tight fit.

I called MS to check if we could do 10 in a THV; 4 adults and 6 children, the youngest being 6, and they said it was fine.

See if they list 10 with none under 3 on your reservation, some flunky saying OK doesn't mean anything in this situation.

I will, thanks in about 73 days! Can't wait to make the ressie.

Dean is right. The bottom line is to have it in writing. Anything else is just hearsay....

The sleeper chairs have been added to all of the Vero One and Two Bedroom villas. No upgrades to other resorts have been planned/confirmed at this point.

Don't be surprised if you're told no when the time comes if you give them the accurate information. However, Disney has routinely allowed ONE extra in 1 BR and larger units for some time so I'd suspect you'll actually be OK. I'd have a back up plan just in case though. One note is that they generally will not allow one extra PLUS an infant under 3 as the infant counts as your one extra. And on that note it's ONE infant, not 2 or 3 including twins.

No infants here. I will keep you posted.

I posed your question to Member Services via e-mail. Here is their response:

Hello Deborah,

Thank you for contacting Member Services.

The occupancy in a Treehouse Villa is nine plus an infant in a crib.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist you.

Sincerely,

Nikki

How many guests are permitted in the tree house villas? Could I have
ten people if all of them were over the age of three? It would be four
adults and six children aged 6 and over.

I called MS this morning and they allowed me to book 9 people in a 2br at Beach Club. They said they do not provide bedding for the extra person, but that is okay as my son was palnning on sleeping on an aerobed any way. we know it willl be tight, but we only have all of us in the room to sleep.

Currently they may allow nine in a villa that only sleeps eight (except for the AKV Value two bedrooms - no extras there). But no extra bedding or towels are provided.

We had 9 in our 2 bedroom at Beach Club last year. My nephew (8) slept on the floor between the two beds in the second bedroom.

I called MS this morning and was told I can put 5 in a ANY one bedroom and 10 in the THV but they will not provide any additional bedding. And they suggested bringing an air matress.
