Max Occupancy in DVC Resorts

[5forDiz]

Studio units: 4 persons and 1 child UNDER 3 is permitted.

1 bedroom villas at SSR, OKW, BCV, BWV, VWL & AKV Value sleep 4 and 1 child under 3 is permitted as well but DVC has been allowing a TOTAL of 5 in 1 bedroom villas & if so then a fifth person aged 3 or up could be accommodated along with 4 others but there aren't rollaways so an airmattress with sheets, etc. would need to be brought by you. Non-value 1 bedroom villas at AKV and 1 bedroom villas at BLT do sleep 5 (king bed, living room pullout that sleeps 2 and pullout chair that sleep 1).

Since Boardwalk Villa's remodel, I don't even know that they have any of those little benches left in any of the studios and I haven't heard anything about it in years, so it's probably a thing of the past.

If you don't want to book a DVC one bedroom or a Disney deluxe resort that sleeps five, I'd probably book a moderate resort through Disney if I were you at Port Orleans Riverside in the Alligator Bayou section. It has rooms that sleep five - they have a trundle bed that pulls out.

our youngest is turning three by our next trip...
Is there a studio at any of the DVC hotels that can accommodate a family of five..I heard BWV may have this option...
Thanks

There are none.

I could have up to 5 adults plus one baby under 3 in the room. We are going next april 2011 and I do remember hearing they are doing the villa's over, did dvc/okw change the number of people allowed in the villa's??

I am pretty sure they are adding a sleeper chair to the 1-br's at OKW.

 

[magicaldisney]

Are you looking at a studio or a 1 bedroom?

 

[dianeschlicht]

Yes, the OKW 1 bedrooms are getting the twin sleeper chair. There will now be bedding for 5 adults plus a child under 3.

 

[dis2cruise]

Thanks this will be great!!

 

[dis2cruise]

HHI one bedroom do they fit 4 or 5 people??

 

[jekjones1558]

Sounds like the plans are to have the rehab complete by April. That is a lot of renovating to be done in a relatively short time!

 

[Duchie]

Wow - this is great news. Since the OKW units are bigger, it makes total sense to me that they would do this. And since we have 5 and OKW is our home resort, it's really great news for us.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I'm also glad because I think the OKW 1 bedrooms are roomy enough to accomodate them.

We've never stayed in a VB 1 bedroom, but they will also have the sleeper chair for our DGC's family. Is that 1 bedroom comparable in size? Does anyone know?

They sleep 4.

HHI 1 bedroom villas : 4 plus 1 child under 3 yrs. so 5 only if one of 5 guests is less than 3yr

No sleeper chair but who knows, maybe someday since those have been added at VB and will soon be at OKW.

I know, and it looks to me like it might be tough to do all that in such a short time! I just wish they would be replacing the cabinets.

I booked 6 days at OKW---4 day ressie with AP discount and 2 day ressie with DVC points. I am adding Dining Plan to both reservations. This is my problem: DVC said it's OK to have 5 people (4 adults, 1 child) in the room and have added 5 people to the Dining Plan. The funny thing is Disney Vacation planners said that this room can only have 4 people and we can only get the Dining Plan for 4 people even though these two ressies are going to be joined together so that we do not have to move to another room. Has anyone dealt with something like this? If so, what did you do? Any suggestions please as to how to work this out.

 

[vicki_c]

That is correct. DVC points stays - you can have 5 in a 1 BR (and probably also cash stays booked through Member Services, I'm guessing).

For cash stays booked through Disney Travel, you cannot - the occupancy limit is 4 except for BLT and AKV that have the sleeper chairs.

And you cannot link them together so there is still a chance you might have to move. If you have near HH for your points stay, it's even more likely you'd have to move.

That is correct. And, if your AP days are first, that 5th person will also not be able to be on the reservation, won't be able to use ME (if you are) and won't be eligible for EMH since he/she won't have a KTTW card.

You may want to call MS and see if you can book those same nights cash using the DVC discount. Granted, it is probably not as good as the AP rate, but at least the reservations can be linked.

As PP mentioned, cash reservations through Disney and points can not be linked. You have to check out and back in and many times, members have been told they have to change rooms.

Good luck!

When you look at my video you will see the new sleeper chair in the livingroom at OKW.
