Pricing and sleeping arrangements for fam of 5?

[Laurabearz]

Just wondering how they price out the third child? I was reading the London/Paris room arrangements and no mention of options for a family of 5....

Thanks

3rd child would still be at the child price (provided they under 12). You would end up with two rooms, with one adult/one child in one room and one adult/two children in the other room. I don't think many, if any, of the trips allow for 5 people in one room.

I am 99% percent sure this is correct, but I am sure someone will tell me if I'm not.

When I was looking at hotels I rarely saw any that would do more then 2 in a room in London. Most of the places were twin beds. We stayed at Marriott which had American standard full/ qn beds.

I believe you are right, Dahly, and that ABD will do everything they can to get you connecting rooms or at the least ajacent rooms. But since you're paying per person, and not per room like with a cruise, there's no difference price-wise.

A lot of the European trips don't even allow for 4 in a room...

We had three in the room for the Backstage Magic trip and used DVC points and paid cash. DVC gave me a rebate of some points back due to the fact we were a triple. They wouldn't give us cash back but did credit points. Not sure how this would work if you were a full cash paying family.

We are a family of 5. We always have to book 2 reservations that are linked together. The reservation shows boys in one room (husband and son) girls in the other (2 daughters and me). When we get there, it's grown ups in one room and kids in the other. Very often the rooms will connect (we have been on 4 abd's). Sometimes they are adjacent rooms. Sometimes the kids have an amazingly huge room and we have a regular room. Either way, 2 bathrooms are better than one. You pay adult and kid prices according to age, so you might as well get 2 rooms. The triple room gets a slight discount for the 3 people (I think it was $100.00 a person less in the triple for the Egypt trip). Our oldest was 13 the first time we did this and the others were 9 and 10. I don't know if I would be comfortable putting the kids in their own room if they were much younger than that.
The only time we were farther away than next door, was on the Germany trip. In the first hotel, the room smelled of smoke. We changed rooms and ended up about 3 doors away.

As long as they dont charge Adult prices for the first two in the room, like they do on cruises I will be tickled!...

Thanks again everyone
