Room Occupancy and baby

[snugglebug]

I'm looking at one bedroom unit that sleeps 4. We have 3 kids, 9, 7 and the baby will be 18 months old at travel time. Would it be okay to book a room for 4? Does the baby count as an occupant?

most kids under 2 don't count.

but always call the hotel/resort and ask.

I was looking at Skyauction's Vacation Village and Celebration World. I've never used Skyauction so I'm a little nervous about it.

timeshares are fine.

kids under 2 aren't counted.

however be sure and get the FULL kitchen - not the mini-kitchen.

in the min-kitchen everything is a little smaller - the bedroom, kitchen, livingroom and bathroom - are a little smaller.

sometimes with celebration you can get a 2-bedroom.

I used SkyAuction last weekend for the first time. Try looking at the ReadySetGo Auctions too. They have ALOT more resort choices in them. I got a HUGE 2 bedroom at Cypress Pointe Grande Villas which is just 1 mile from Downtown Disney.

I got lucky & got the auction for $221 ($11 bid)......but if you look at the history of bids for ReadySetGo's, they go around $24 - $36 usually.

So, you could get a 2 bedroom for maybe same price you were going to pay for the 1 bedroom....and maybe be closer to Disney.

What week are you looking for?

Skyauction is great but I would suggest a 2 bedroom for you and yours...

I just won on Skyauction, paid a little more than I wanted, but I'm feeling rushed. Still less than I was looking at for Comfort Inn! I chose Cypress Pointe Grande Villas 2 bedroom for 12/10-12/17

Thanks for the help! Now I just need to get park tickets.

Excellent!!! That's when we'll be there too.

Have a great trip. I think you'll enjoy having the extra room. And, look, you've already saved $$$$.

Here's some websites I gathered this week. Hope they'll put your mind at ease about feeling rushed.

We spent so much time house shopping here at home, that sometimes I forget we are just renting our vacation place for a week ---- not BUYING it. It'll be great!!!!!!!
