room size

[crysplefty]

We are going to stay at one of the all-star resorts or pop culture resort. Is there enough room for a queen size blow up mattress or a twin size blow up mattress and play pen? Are you able to move the beds over to make room or are they attached to the wall? I need this info ASAP. I must book my rooms by March 31st to receive my 40% off discount.
Thanks,
Crystal

I doubt it..those rooms are pretty darn small. How many people are you trying to fit into one room? You might wanna think about getting adjoining rooms.

The beds at POP are fixed and cannot be moved. The beds at the All Star resorts are movable.
Thus allowing you to move one of the beds against the wall.

There will not be enough room for a queensize aero bed.

You might have room for a twin size areo bed and a pac-n-play but it will be tight.

Here is the layout of a value resort:

Just a reminder: Only 4 persons plus a child under the age of 3 are allowed in a standard value room.

Have Fun at WDW!

My husband and I, my parents, my sister, my 3 yr old, and my 10 month old will all be in one room. My sister and I were going to share a bed and my son could sleep with us if we can't fit a queen size blow up. My husband would sleep on the twin blow up and we would put the baby in the pack and play. We are getting an extra room for my in-laws if they decide to go (my father-in-law was in a head on collision and they don't know if they will be able to go yet), but no one wants to share a room with them. My husband and I may just have to give in and share a room with them if we have to.

The rooms are so small. The beds are full, not queen. So you would be bringing in an air matress that is bigger than the beds in the room. I don't think you would even be able to walk or put down luggage. I would cut back somewhere else if possible to get a bigger room or two rooms. It's a tough decision, good luck.

You can only have 4 plus an infant it is the law in Florida....why don't you look at the suite at ASMu. Or just spring for an extra room

 

[bgirl29]

The first time we stayed in an All Star my youngest was in a pack-n-play and it was myself,DH, and 2 other children. We were very, very cramped. I cannot imagine trying to put even one more adult in that room!!!! Also disney does frown upon this.

I don't know how you'd fit 7 people in that room. I thought the limit was related to fire code. Anyone know if that's true? Definitely, please, look into the family suites or 2 rooms. I'd hate to think that something might happen and the resort wouldn't be able to account for everyone because they don't know who all is there, kwim?

I'm having issues trying to figure out our situation, and it's just dh and I and our 2 boys (ages 13 and 5, and they refuse to share a bed). At this point, my oldest is wanting to take his sleeping bag and "camp out" on the floor, lol. I'm going to tell him he could always sleep in the bathtub ... Just kidding!

man, that room is going to reek!!

I am not going to touch the fire code subject, but I can not imagine that many adults in one of those rooms. We stayed at Pop last year with 1 adult, dd14,dd11,dd8 and dd2(in a pack an play). It was crowded. We used an aerobed(twin size) with the packnplay. Plus at one point dd11 got angry and slept in a sleeping bag on the floor. It was crowded. Did we still have a great time yes!!!!
There is no way to be comfortable with 5 adults in those rooms.That would leave no room for the kids to move around. They are just too small. You may want to consider stay off property for less money and more space.
There are lots of nice alternatives that would offer you more for your money, it a family suite is more than you want to pay.

This may give you some perspective on the matter....here is a picture of a room at ASSports:

Thanks everyone. The only reason we are all staying in one room is because we will only be in the room to sleep. We figured it would be cheaper this way since we won't be using the room much. My son,who will be 3 when we go, rarely takes naps (you have to force him) and the baby can sleep in the stroller. My mom got an offer for 40% off on value resort rooms, so that's why I'm interested in whether we can all fit in one room at a value resort.

You are going to try to fit seven people, five of which are adults, into a room that is only 260sf?!?!? Not to mention that you only have one bathroom and one sink. Rooms have a max. four-person occupancy per room (plus one child under 3 in a crib). And for each adult over 2 there is a $10 per night charge per person. Although I imagine if you are trying to fit that many people in a room you aren't planning on paying the extra adult charge.

If you try to stick that many people in a room you run the risk of being busted and being told to either pay for another room or being told to leave the resort. Everyone in your party won't have room keys, everyone won't be able to do EMH (a great perk for resort guest), if you are flying your entire party won't be able to use DE from the airport to the resort, not everyone in your party will be able to use the DDP, etc. With five adults and two children I'd look at either getting two adjoining rooms or a two bedroom villa. I'm not sure if the max. occupancy for a FWC cabin is six plus one under three or six including the child under three, but I believe it is six plus one under three.

If your mom has a 40% off code use it for two rooms. You may only be in the room for sleeping but that is way too many people trying to get ready in the morning at one time, not to mention it isn't allowed.

They're not going to let you reserve 1 room for a party of that size. The most that you can legally put in a room at a value resort is 4 people, plus one child under 3 years of age. Disney doesn't bend on the room occupancy rules, believe me. They will ask for the name of every person staying in the room, and they will require you to book a second room if you want to stay at a value.

Besides, the beds are tiny. It's hard enough to fit two people in a double, but two and a toddler is going to be nearly impossible. Even if you could, that still leaves you with a twin aerobed and a pack and play, and I doubt that there's floor space for both. The rooms are very small.

For your group, here's what Disney will let you book:

• A family suite at All-Star Music (sleeps 6 plus a baby).
  
• A cabin at Fort Wilderness.
  
• A two bedroom villa at any DVC resort.
  
• Or, two rooms at any resort.

Some might ask, why not just sneak in the two extra people over the occupancy limit? Leaving aside the matter of fire codes, only those whose names are on the reservation will receive a resort ID. Without a resort ID, you can't attend Extra Magic Hours at the parks, which are one of the major perks of staying onsite. Those who are not on your reservation will not be able to use Magical Express, the free bus service from the airport. If you intend to book the dining plan, two members of your party won't be able to use it.

For me, the biggest problem would be, 7 people in a 260 square foot room, with double beds and one bathroom. Honestly, if all I could afford was one room at a value resort in that situation, I wouldn't go.

If two value rooms would bust your budget, you might want to check into off-site resorts. The odds are that you'll find affordable, comfortable accommodations for your party.

7 in POP is just way too many. We had 8 sharing 2 rooms at POP last Jan/Feb and we were in tight quarters. I can't imagine how things would have been if all of us had been in one room.

You may have opened a can of worms. This is one of the subjects you just don't touch at the DIS.

FWIW, you might be better off renting villa points from someone.

The parents wouldn't be able to stay with you, they would have to get a separate room. Then you should be okay. There are two full size beds. So you and sis in one, hubby and 3 year old in another, and baby in pack and play. It would be tight, but doable. Also, if you sis could use other full size bed in your parents room, then you could request a king size bed for you and hubby and 3 year old could just sleep with you. It wouldn't be near as crowded that way!

You will need two rooms. However, there are no bed checks! So, you could book two rooms and if the inlaws come along, let them have their room to themselves and the rest of you share one room if you want. Just book it so that some of the kids are shown as being with the inlaws in the second room.

You're joking, right?

Why not bring the family pet too?

Sorry but the 3 yr old counts towards room occupancy. So they can't get a king sized room for the two of them AND the 3 yr old. Maybe the two of them and the 10 month old baby.

You have too many people for a value room. The seven of you could fit in a Family Suite which sleeps 6, plus one under the age of three. If the inlaws come along too, you wouldn't fit in Family Suite because you would have 8 plus one under the age of three.
