What is the problem with having two rooms in one name?

[BWV Dreamin]

Last year, we had people in the next room who had just come back from Monday night football at ESPN Zone, we had to call the manager they were so loud. These were adults, I can only imagine a room full of teenagers.

Honestly, I truly believe the girls would be "wowed" by the one bedroom. And would love all the space. I really didn't care about sleeping or bathroom issues at that age. It's a big, fun, fantastic slumber party.
Have a great time Maria

Thanks Lisa ! I'll talk to the girls about this....pick up a couple cheap air mattresses at the Walmart and just draw straws for who gets to shower first ! This may be the only way to go it seems. Thanks again Lisa.

Thanks castleri. I do feel the one bathroom with five females (four of them teen girls !) would be an issue Also, I didn't think DVC let five in a one-bedroom ---unless I went with AKV. I'll check on that as well. Don't the 1 bedrooms at AKV have 2 bathrooms ? I can afford (point wise) the "V" one bedrooms. But I'll bet they go quick to owners there because they're less points. Just like the "S" view goes quick to BWV owners. I can try. But I'd definitely want/need two bathrooms. Thanks again Castleri !




Thanks BCV23.....it would be an option, while not my preference. I think they sleep 6 ? We'll have 5.
I will check on availability for one. I know there aren't that many of them though.....thanks again. I really don't want to go offsite.....

Following with interest, and I feel your pain. A little more info. Value 1 Bedrooms at AKV only allow 4 and MS is enforcing this. However, above Value level 1 BRs at AKV do have 2 bathrooms and a sleeper-recliner for guest # 5 who is formally allowed!

What is the maximum occupancy in the rooms?

The maximum occupancy for both Jambo House and Kidani Village accommodations is as follows: http://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/guest/resorts/resortDetail?id=ProspectsDAKVFAQPage#4

Studios = up to 4
One-Bedrooms = up to 5 (Value Accommodations sleep up to 4 only)
Two-Bedrooms = up to 9, (Value Accommodations sleep up to 8 only)
Three-Bedroom Grand Villas = up to 12
The increased occupancy in most One-Bedroom and Two-Bedroom Vacation Homes is due to the addition of a sleeper chair in the living room.

Thanks to DVC Mike who found and posted the above info!

Perhaps all nights but 1 on points, the last on a member cash discount rate, and have MS link them together so that they do not require an additional check-in & check-out.

Good Luck!!!

And don't forget if you are near HH they have showers in the change area. (Not for you Maria, of course) .Okay, this is not my trip!

Ahhh...good catch DVC4me2 .....I think my mind was just racing and I was starting to think everything out loud. I immediately zoomed in on the lowest point room.

I could definitely do three nights on points, and one cash night. Or I could just cut the trip by a day. The two bathrooms really is important to me. Thanks for understanding my dilemma on this.

Ahhh...I see the mind is always churning Lisa.....I like the way you think !

Ahhh....the plot thickens......thanks castleri.
Could there possibly be any more stumbling blocks put in front of me. I don't think I'm supposed to take this trip

Maria,
Try not to worry about it too much until tomorrow when you talk to MS. I'm sure they'll have some way to help you out.

1) I think they will allow you 5 in a 1BR.
(You can make it work with 1 bathroom. Make the bathroom for toilet and shower use only. Makeup is done in the dining room and hair in the bedroom. You and the girls can discuss who take the longest to get ready so they can get in the shower first, or who will take a shower the night before. Who will do hair first, and who will do make up first. There's a counter by the dining room table in OKW 1BRs that's perfect for makeup and hair stuff. Just remember to bring a hand mirror or 2.)

2) MS may say that the 17yo is close enough to 18 to let it slide. Or the person at the front desk will say it's ok.

3) If the first call to MS doesn't give you a decent answer, definitely call back and talk to someone different. Just to make sure their stories jive with each other.

4) If all else fails, pull the single woman card (yes, you are asking for sympathy, you need help with your situation because you're just trying to take the girls for a short trip to Disney (maybe it's their first trip to Disney? I don't know) and everything seems to be getting in the way.) I refused to ask for help for a long time (trying to prove my independence and I'm in control), until I realized it's ok to ask for help sometimes. This is one of those situations.

Let us know how it goes! for you!!

Ouch Maria, My bad, sorry, I was trying to help.......

This is a perfect example of where Commercial Renting hurts the membership.

So Maria, what did MS tell you? Did you get everything worked out?

Amy....I'm sorry. Had a bad week. Think dental emergency. I have sutures in my mouth right now and I'm on Vicodan for pain. I never got to call MS.

I have to work Monday (if I feel well enough), but should be able to call on Tues. Promise I'll report back. Didn't mean to leave anyone hanging. Just haven't felt well the past several days.

Mia:

Most of the things I was thinking as I started reading about your plans have been suggested by others.

- a 1BDR bathroom is larger than 2 studio bathrooms. So, there's only one, but as long as people are willing to use it together, someone can shower, another can take a bath, and 3 can use sinks all at the same time.

- A standard view 1BDR at AKV holds 5. I don't think there are very many of them and they likely book up early since they are fewer points. But, you could try.
