SSR Room occupancy

[MamaBelle4]

Okay, tell me I'm missing something.

Last trip I swear SSR 2bdrm was 8 + one under 3 as the maximum occupancy.

It's listed as 8 on the points charts still.

But on the RAT, it says "sleeps up to 9". Is the refurbishment increasing occupancy? My word that would make me so happy!

DVC has permitted a ninth person (or fifth person in one bedroom villas) where there are only beds for eight (or four for one bedrooms) but they do not provide any beds/bedding for the extra person. You have to bring your own bed and sheets (plus a towel for the extra person). If they do add a murphy bed in the future, it probably won't update the occupancy for the villa until after at least most of the resort is renovated.

Okay, so just to clarify, I should be able to book my family (3 Disney kids, 6 Disney adults + 1 under 3) at SSR?

Yes, if you book through DVC. If you book through Disney Reservation Center, no. And you may need to bring your own airbed, sheets and a towel for the ninth person.

That's a lot of folks in an SSR 2 BR, they are not all that big.

Perfect, thanks!

It's actually not so bad. 5 of the people listed are my kids, the oldest of whom with be 12. DH and I have the two littles in the room with us, my sister is in the living room area with the 3 older ones (try and keep them apart, lol) and my MIL & FIL take the studio.

ETA: this will be our second trip with that many people in a DVC 2 bedroom.

So 2 in the 2nd BR and 8 in the 1 BR side? Good luck.

You are giving MIL and FIL a room with two beds and putting four people on one bed in the living room (and only a queen at that)? I'd put sister in with MIL/FIL and put the three kids on the sleeper sofa in the living room if they can all sleep together.

We've done this before.

It's the arrangement my sister chose, not me. She doesn't feel comfortable sharing a room with my in laws.

It really is fine with us. We are only in the rooms to sleep and that is it. And we drive down, maybe we'll bring a blow up bed and put it in our room for some of the kids.

I'm sure if they asked Grandma & Pap, they'd let them sleep in the studio portion but they latch on to my sister every time.
