Party of 6 in Deluxe Studio Poly - w/one being a 3 year old?

[skateshome]

Wondering if we can put 6 in a room at the poly if one is a 3 year old?
Any input is appreciated.

Legal occupancy at the Poly is 5 people, plus one under age 3 in a crib. They won't allow you to go over occupancy.

With 6, you are over the limit for all but a 2 BR or larger or a treehouse villa.

Poly has room for 5. Occupancy is 5 in queen bed, a queen sleeper sofa and a pull down ‘cabinet’ single bed. They are adequate, but the room is not large. I’m quite sure there are people who squeeze in an extra child, by saying they are 2, not 3, or just not telling people, but that is not how Disney lists it, and it can mess up things like fast passes, which most of the party could do at 60 days, but the child not till 30 days, and Magical Express from the airport, because they usually only transport people listed in the room reservations, not ‘extra’ children, and Disney Dining plan, which you are supposed to get for everyone in the room, IF you get it, and can only get for every person listed in the room.

I do know people who have done it and had no problems, but Disney will not be happy if they find out, and I suppose they could insist that SOMEONE leave the room and rent elsewhere. And it would be VERY crowded. Poly rooms are converted hotel rooms.

Even if you were allowed to do it I don't even think it would be a good idea, especially with a 3 year-old. While the studios are large in size, in my opinion, they are not very well laid-out and had inadequate storage for even the 4 of us. We had two older (9 and 7) kids and their stuff was everywhere. It was a minor hassle to have to tidy up the room every morning just to get to things (my clothes were in the coffee table/trunk so that meant clearing that off every morning just to get dressed). I couldn't imagine adding another two people, with one of them having all the stuff a 3 year-old needs.

You need two studios at the Polynesian with a group of six people. No way you can do six in one.

I know this is an old thread, but wanting to gather more people's thoughts on this situation. We will have 2 adults, 4 children with one child just under 3 years old, so technically, we can do one room. Would you suggest Poly Deluxe Studio or a Standard Room?

The limit for a poly room is five.

 

[Brett Wyman]

Yup better off at a moderate with two rooms. Or check out Bonnet Creek(Club Wyndham).

Or you may be able to get a deal via renting points on two Poly studios.

To clarify, one of the 4 kids is under 3 years old. So, we could fit our family of 6 since the youngest is younger than 3.

Thanks, I'm looking at the Poly specifically, at this time. I'm wondering more about us fitting in the Studio vs Standard with only one room. Which one is best?

Plan Disney released the below, which supports you technically being able to. I asked this question recently since i visit with a small child, and others are correct to point out that this may catch some dining/parks reservations by surprise, since cast members have in my experience encouraged to denote infants now (this article is from 2019) to make sure places weren't getting overcrowded. This article was also written before park reservations, but infants don't have park tickets.

To the point others made, this is gonna get real tight in a *deluxe studio* setup. Even in the (relatively large) poly studios, the DVC studio accommodations (except for OKW and the new VGF villas) are built for their capacity limit, heck, they're kinda built for smaller than that when you think about two people being stuck on a pull out couch or murphy and not a real bed. They are not built for stretching that capacity, since DVC owners always could plus up to a 1br or 2br. Everybody has different travel expectations, but having 4 kids split across a murphy bed and a trundle bed seems like a tough ask when there are bigger accommodations for that price elsewhere.

*im not sure thats a full inventory of the double queen bed studios, but i know poly doesnt have them, they have the murphy post renovation. there are plenty of post renovation youtube videos to see the space you're looking at.

I would personally prefer getting the murphy bed out of the way during non-sleeping hours. So it would be a deluxe studio for me.

 

[RoseGold]

This could work, depending on how big the kids are. The smallest one would be on the Pack N Play mattress in the extra bathroom. That leaves two kids on the big Murphy, and one on the small Murphy. Capacity 5 + 1 infant.

This room is TIGHT on storage. So, you're going to have luggage everywhere, maybe the stroller on the balcony.

 

[Sandisw]

I think having the Murphy bed option and the kitchenette would lead me to deluxe studio.

Gives the little ones a place to Stretch out during the day.

Look into a 2-bedroom condo at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek. For me going offsite (but still extremely close to the parks) would be well worth avoiding that kind of miserable overcrowding.

I answered your post in the Disney Resorts forum, with the caveat that I haven't stayed in a Poly Standard Room for over 20 years. I will add here that that was the last standard Disney resort room my family of 4 stayed in, and that was the trip we bought into DVC, partly because the room was so cramped with 4 of us and only one bathroom. I believe the Standard rooms have 2 queen beds and a little daybed, so sleeping surfaces similar to the Deluxe Studios, but only one bathroom and no kitchenette, and I have no idea where people put a pack & play for the littlest one. If your only options are these two rooms at the Poly, I'd vote for the Deluxe Studio, but in reality I'd suggest a Family Suite at AoA or a Ft. Wilderness Cabin. Or, as suggested above, two rooms!

Just because you CAN do something doesn't make it COMFORTABLE to do it.

Haha. Totally understand! We have limited options, which is why I am simply wondering which one is more comfortable of the two.

For a long list of reasons I wont go into in this post (I've posted previously about this), we are set on having just one room at one of the monorail resorts and cannot do point rental. I wish it was different. Just trying to clarify my specific question. I know there are so many other options that would "fit" us better outside of our traveling party's needs.
