What combination of rooms? Help please

[BeachLove]

Home resort is BWV.

Travel party will be:
3 - 5 teens (17-19 Y.O) 3-4 Female and 1-2 possible male. I'm letting her invite up to 4 additional people. That's what we can transport in the cars with luggage. It will most likely be 4 teen girls.


4 Adults (2 pairs, ages late 20's and early 50's)

Total Trip time is less than a week and depends on how many rooms/point usage.

Point Limit is 387 for either Late June 2014 or July 2014. I'm guessing three studios? Then again I think having a full kitchen will be helpful. I almost want to book at BWV and then try to move the reservation to SSR for Downtown Disney and the boat rides. I could borrow from the following year for this graduation trip. I just prefer to keep most of those points for myself for a vacation after this vacation.

Maybe a studio for us and a two bedroom for 2 adults and 4/5 teens? Still 3 standard view studios would save a ton of points. Both options look like they fit right into the point budget easily.


I could then rent out the difference and subsidize food/tickets. It would save 70 points over 5 days in standard view. (Going with just studios) 70 x $11 in rental is $770 extra towards extra food and activities. hmmm

I haven't checked the point charts but would you have enough points for an OKW grand villa? I know the grand villas there are significantly less in points. Still gives you the option for a boat to DTD.

You do realise that at least one person in each room will need to be 18 at time of check-in. If getting the three studios be sure you split up so that that is covered.

I was going to suggest a standard view 2 BR plus a studio. It looks like for about 50 pts more you could afford an OKW GV.

I'd suggest the OKW grand villa too (and you can park your car right at the building your villa is in). The 3 studios at SSR won't be a bad option if you don't think you'll need to do laundry and if it's less than a week and you all are driving...you might not need to do laundry. We would, personally, stick with BWV for the walk to Epcot and all the dining choices there and at the Boardwalk area.

I thought these were really hard to get so I didn't look at it as an option. It would use 315 points for 5 days. So its in the point budget.

Yes, at least two of the teens are 18.

The other idea is to rent a house or apartment between other attractions. Such as Sea world, Disney and Universal. Just have to wait to hear what they think about that.

Our son brought eight friends and we booked a GV at OKW (it's our home so we got the full week without a problem). One thing that I learned was that teenaged girls can be total pigs. On the day we were to get trash and towel service, I gathered the trash and towels from the upstairs and brought them to the housekeeper. I was too embarrassed for her to see the condition of those rooms.

The day we left, I had them strip the beds and gather the trash (and I did it again after they headed to the parks for one last hurrah). Pigs, I tell you, pigs.

Bill and I had the master, the boys in the living room with the extra bath downstairs and the girls were all upstairs.
