I did tell her that they couldn't have that many people in the room. I then also explained to her that besides not being allowed, it would be very uncomfortable since there's just one bed and one pullout couch. She now is of the mindset that they need two rooms.
We're actually already staying in a value studio at AKV, plus borrowing 6 points from next year (we already took a trip in Nov and used some points at AKV). So, there's no way to downgrade the room any more. I called member services this morning, no more value studios for the length of our stay. There's a standard view studio at Kidani and a savannah view studio at Jambo. I told her those were her two options and the prices or she could just book another resort on her own and pay cash and I wouldn't be offended at all.
DH is on my side, love him!
He's definitely not trying to bend over backwards for his sister, it's all me, lol. We do feel like SIL is really ungrateful considering she was going to be paying about $85/night for AKV. Rack rate is over $300 for the time we're going. She's acting like we're inconveniencing her.
She decided fly out a day early, without checking with me, and was annoyed that she'd have to stay at a value and move or pay the full price for the AK room. We're both hoping she'll take the out we gave her and book a room at a value with her in-laws. When I was on the phone w/ member services I checked on availability at BLT, they had a studio available. So if they go value, we're going home!
Thanks for the advice and letting me vent! Has anyone actually brought family successfully? lol. Maybe we should write out an explanation of DVC for family members coming along and make sure they understand before we make a reservation in the future.
