Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[Anjelica]

For AKV - the dedicated 2 Bedroom in Kidani where it states it will sleep 9 - is that for children 3+? We are looking at 6 adults, 3 children who will be 3+ and 1 infant (1 year old).

Yes- AKV as well as BLT sleep 9 plus an infant.

The dedicated 2BR will have a king bed in the master bedroom, a queen-size sleeper sofa and twin-size sleeper chair in the living area and 2 queen beds in the dedicated 2nd bedroom. There is a pack'n'play for the infant.

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.

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

Did you get your reservation?

Disney's policy (not just DVC) as I understand it is to allow ONE infant or toddler under 3 over the stated occupancy. But it is only one not multiple no matter how young, in this example you'd be OK for AKV 2 BR other than a value room and for BLT but currently nowhere else (? VB).

This thread has my head reeling! Can 5 go in a studio if one of them is 2? We might ask my mother to come along to HHI for NYE. (me, DH, Mom, 10 year old, 2 year old).

As long as thy're under 2 at the start of the trip the answer is yes. Do consider the layout of the studios with most having a queen and pull out full and being relatively small. OKW might be the best option for WDW for such a situation with larger units and 2 queen beds. Enjoy your trip.

In your scenario, yes it would be allowed, but the resort would make a HUGE difference. If you are at OKW, you will have 2 queen sized beds and a huge bathroom, but you would still have to think about who would end up sleeping with the 10 year old. The 2 year old would be in the Pack N Play.

At all other DVC resorts, the sleeping arrangements would be even more difficult, because you would have only 1 queen bed and one full size pull out sofa bed. That would mean two people would be sharing a double bed and two would share a queen and the 2 year old is still in the pack N play.

Your other option is to pack along an air bed for the 10 year old so Grandma would at least have a bed to herself.

Now all that being said....it is NOT something I would ever attempt at WDW. If you want to pack in that tightly, you might be best off doing a value resort and getting two rooms.

Whenever we have 3 or more adults, we use a minimum of a 2 bedroom. Just the bathroom situation alone would be more than I would tolerate.

Seeing what the room actually looks like can be helpful when deciding how many people could fit comfortably in that room. There are floor plans and 360-degree room tours on the public DVC website for all of the resorts. Here are links to the HHI studio floor plan and the HHI 360-degree room tours.

Not trying to start anything here and I haven't read through all of these as I'm pretty sure that someone else would've brought this up at some point but..if the one bedroom can "unofficially" sleep 5 why can't the 2 bedrooms "unofficially" sleep 9? (and I'm not talking about AKV and BLT and the tree house villas-I know they "officially" do) I'm just saying that if a 1 bedroom can sleep 5 and a studio can sleep 4, why can't a 2 bedroom sleep 9? Just trying to make sense of it all!
Any thoughts or info appreciated!
Thanks

Because most of the one bedroom villas don't sleep five; they sleep four. So the two bedroom sleeps eight. I keep hoping the unofficial policy goes away and they allow guests based strictly on the number of sleeping places in the villa. The allowance was only made for one bedroom villas, not for two bedroom villas.

MS has unoffically been allowing 9 in all the 2br units except AKV value for a quite a while.

There is a technical answer and a practical answer. MS will allow 9 in the 2 BR units currently but it's not 9 plus one under 3 other than the units that officially sleep 9 at AKV and BLT. Technically they should not.

We are 4 adults and 5 young kids so I don't think it would be tight in any of the 2 bedrooms. I'm so glad to hear that they are allowing that! It's one thing to make the leap from a studio to a 1 bedroom or a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom but to go to a grand villa or have to get another unit just for one more person (a four year old in our case!), seems so rediculous to me.

Personally I think they should be more strict than they are but for this situation I would agree it's hard to shut you out even in the most strict of circumstances. However, I do know of timeshares that would do so in your situation. One thing to note on exchanges is that normally they will only guarantee 6 even if the underlying unit will sleep 8.

I plead the Fifth! Anything with at least a 5th in it can't be all bad.

Walmart let me take 21 items through the express lane. I've never been given a ticket for doing 3mph over. My dad let me take a sip of his beer once when I was a kid.

I've been watching this thread for years, but haven't read most it. Is this actually the first bit of levity?
