New addition to family makes 5: Is a studio still an option?

[rutgers1]

I recall reading that studios are not an option for families of 5. Actually, I think I read that a few in Animal Kingdom are ok for 5. A friend who is also a DVC member told me today that you can stay anywhere as long as you provide your own bedding. Which is the case?

Thank you!

VGF and VWL have studios that sleep 5. The 5th person would have a pull down bed in a cabinet, cute. I do not know the weight limit.

Here's a link to the VWL rehab pictures. The VGF studios have something like it.

What about 1BR's?

Also, is it like a hotel where, if you take an extra person and don't make a scene, there really is no issue? I feel bad asking that, but we are taking in a foster child, and DVC is really the only area that I need to figure out. We have points for a studio, and I would love to take him. We can still make a trip work somehow, but it would be way easier and cheaper if we could make it work in a studio.

The 1 bedrooms that have sleeping for 5 are AKV, except values, BLT, and VGF. The others are the ones that state you must provide your own bedding for the 5th person.

You get magic bands for each person registered, so I think it is not a case that you just slip in someone. Go with the villas that can have all names on the reservation.

While the new addition is an infant (less than 3 years old), you're still okay in a studio that sleeps 4. The first infant doesn't count. Once s/he turns 3, however, you'll need to worry about occupancy rules.
