No 2-bed officially sleeps more than 9, despite the kiddie bed. Because all 2-beds have the same occupancy.
Just the way it is.

The extra bed at some of the studios were added in response to demand from members who donāt have enough points to stay in a 1-bed.
It did create that anomaly though.
The layout of the living room of many the 1-beds pose a problem for adding a 5th sleeper. As they get full refurbs they may get added, like at SSR.
But in many cases that will mean losing a feature, like the breakfast bar. Which actually, in a 2-bed is a problem because there then wonāt be enough seating space for everyone either.
Theyāre really damned if the do, damned if they donāt.

True. There are definitely some oddities with DVC rooms. Iām likely to remain the crazy person who makes their family of five squeeze into a studio whenever possible.

Wow! I stand corrected, but Iām baffled.
I honestly thought the policy has always been that a 2-bed villa at any resort has the same occupancy whether dedicated or lock-off.

Oh good. Either my source was outdated / wrong, or Disney reads my posts and responds to my suggestionsā¦ Iāll assume itās the latter.

Well it seems I was totally wrong.
BCV shows the same, albeit dedicated is 8 and lock-off is 9.
GFV is the same as Riviera.
Interestingly then, someone booking direct with Disney will only ever be able to have the lower # of guests, since they always get a dedicated 2-bed.

The lock off sleeping 10 was definitely part of the sales pitch. It was part of the whole spiel about how āthe members talked and we listenedā

Isnāt that true at AKL too? Maybe kidani but not Jambo? Iām not at my computer anymore to look it up. Weāre normally a party of 7, so weāve been cognizant of capacity. I have to think about it every time we book because I always forget.

KIdani 1-bed sleeps 5 so both 2-beds will sleep 9.
Jambo are all lock-offs anyway, as is BWV.
I didnāt check all of them, basically itāll probably be everywhere where a studio sleeps 5.
Interestingly, and this is why I think I was confused, a GV only ever sleeps 12 maximum, even though there are sleep spaces for more than that.
I thought the rules were the same for the 2-bed lock-offs.

And @Jeff_AZ, I agree.
Disney definitely read your post and updated the websites instantaneously with your suggestion. Well done!
Now can you just gripe about a few more things and get them fixed. Since you have their attention.
Thanks!

OK. Iām still waiting for confirmation on renting points at BC and Poly for next May.
Itās beenā¦ 2-3 weeks.
Should I be panicking?
The rental guys said it often takes awhile.
Thoughts anyone?

It took 5 weeks or so for me for Poly when I rented points.

Thanks. Iāve only done this once before.
Then I saw confirmation in about a week but it was last year and we know last year was far from average in so many waysā¦

Which company did you rent through? The three times Iāve used Davids they came back within about 3 days with a reservation. However, I have heard from others trying to rent that it is currently taking longer due to lack of owners renting out points.

Weāre going with DVC rental store.

I know that Davidās said that these were the only 2 hotels with waiting lists for them. Waiting list being those interested in renting points but there are no current owner points available.

I have rented a 2BR at BCV from Davidās twice in the last two years (one of which ended up being cancelled due to Covid). The one I booked in 2019 (for 2020) took about 9 weeks before they matched me with points. The one I booked in 2020 (for 2021) took about 4 weeks.
When I booked AKV and BLT within the 7 month window, I got my requested rooms immediately.
Keep in mind it will vary with the number of points and resort you are booking. I imagine it takes longer for them to find someone with a larger number of points to rent, so maybe if youāre renting for a studio it could be faster?

I hadnāt thought of the point differences. Makes sense. We always rent studios and responses are super quick.
