When are the Member Updates held? I would like to try to attend during our upcoming trip. I've never been to one before. Thanks!

4pm every Wednesday at the Saratoga Springs cinema builidng. We'll be there on December 15th!

Also, the model rooms are open 5-7pm daily for current members to tour without having to stop at the sales center first. The resort should be able to give you the room numbers.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we'll be on the golf course at that time. Will have to try the next time we are down.

After the meeting, I chatted with Judi Kaufman (sp?), and one of the lead people in Member Services. I asked several questions, including occupancy rules, home resort retention when transferring points, and about housekeeping.
They responded that occupancy limits has just been raised to 5 adults in a 1br, with no additional bedding provided. Studio is still 4, and 2br still 8. MG

Sweet!

We stayed at SSR last month and thought of the small town description also. I think it's a good thing, but for those who don't care for walking, it may not be so good. We also loved SSR and think it will be a great addition to the DVC family! Thanks for the report and the occupancy info.

Is 5 to a 1BR a new thing, of have we heard it here before? I think it's a good change and makes DVC more affordable for familes with 3 kids.

I agree.
Did anyone check the member site to see if it is updated to reflect this new information?


BTW -- thanks for the glowing report and great details!

I checked and it still reflects 4 adults and child under three

Bahahahah! They rarely update that site with information they actually want us to know. I seriously doubt they will advertise that the occupancy limits have been increased to five in a 1BR. As much as I'd like to see it in writing, I don't think it will happen.

Thanks for the info MG. We will be there in less than 10 days but will be avoiding SSR out of the need to restrain add-onitis.

Thanks so much for the review! I cannot wait to stay here for the first time in only a few more weeks!

Thanks for the report and for the member update update. I would have loved to have made it there and run into Judy Kaufman of all people! She is such a great lady! She actually left a message for me just the other day simply to say hello.

Thanks MG! Thumbs up to raising 1 bedroom to 5! Although we're a family of 4 I am pleased to hear about this, especially for those with 3 kids!

Okay, I finally have a minute or two to start reviewing my recent trip. We stayed at YC and VWL, but we visited SSR a couple times.

Maistre G....you stayed at VWL? What did you think of THAT place?

I too am happy for those with 3 kids that 1BR seems to be a legit option now. I think the key phrase is that Disney will "allow" 5 in a 1BR, not that they will support that. Note that they still won't provide extra bedding or towels.

in a 1BR is the new limit...great! What will the moderators do with no more occupancy threads to close?

Don't worry, we still have the 5 in a studio threads!

With the new occupancy in rooms 5 to a 1 bedroom and still four in a studio does that mean 3 adults and 2 children age 5 can't stay in a studio we would have to get a 1 bedroom. We stayed in a studio last year and it was perfect room for everyone just curious.

How in the world did you dig up this thread from 2004???

A - it's not "new", this is from 2004.

B - All occupancy discussions are confined to the specific thread intended for that purpose.

Nothing has changed in the last 7 years regarding studios - occupancy is 4 + infant under the age of 3, max.

You will have to get a 1 BR, and bedding will not be provided for the 5th person unless you stay @ BLT, AKV-Kidani, or OKW that have the sleeper chair in the room for the 5th person.

talk about a random post on an old, non-related thread.

Occupancy discussions are limited to DVC Occupancy Thread. You may continue the discussion there, if you wish.

Thanks.

This thread is so old, rather than move it to the DVC Resorts thread, I'm going to close it.
