Disney has "unofficially" allowed 5 in a one bedroom, for quite a while.
Yes, even at HH, I was able tobook a Saturday night for cash, putting 5 in the room, and the youngest was 6.

DVC currently allows 5 in all 1BR units except the AKV values. They will allow 5 plus an infant under 3 and provide bedding for AKV & BLT and possibly OKW. This is by having a pull out queen and a pull out single in the LR. For BLT and AKV, they have a separate smaller second bath as well.So confused...
I know VGC ofiicially allow five in a 1 bedroom - there's a murphy bed for the 5th person. All linens and bedding are included for that 5th person.
It sounds like AKV has some rooms like this too.
What other DVC resorts officially allow for 5 in a room? We're traveling from the west so it's very unlikely we'll have room for bedding and towels for that 5th person. We could reserve a 2 bedroom but it seems ridiculous when we won't be using that extra bedroom and bathroom.

We have found that the challenge is not where to put people when you have more than the official number of guests. Instead it is the DDP. You can't get the DDP for any people beyond the rooms occupancy. So then we have DDP for the two adults and two of the kids but then the third kid is a cash pay at all the restaurants ... bummer and confusing...

We don't have room for an inflatable bed. We're going from Univeral to WDW to DCL. As it is, I'm not sure how we're going to have room for formal wear, pirate wear, etc. Luggage fees will already be shocking without a bedding and towels for kid #3.
I wish Disney would provide this stuff in all DVC 1 bedrooms. Kinda silly to waste the points on that extra room we won't use except to steal the sheets and towels out of it...
From Disney's standpoint, they must be thinking that no good deed goes unpunished. Most timeshares are far more strict (some VERY strict) on occupancy. The reality is that even allowing the infant or 5 in a 1 BR at all is above and beyond. They could, and likely should, require a 2 BR for 5 in general with the exception of the 2 built for 5.We don't have room for an inflatable bed. We're going from Univeral to WDW to DCL.

We're a family of 4- twin 4 year olds. We'd like to take our "bonus" child nephew (age 8). We have our airfare booked.
We'd like to rent the Saratoga Resort but AAA agent said they can't book for a villa for 5 people since it's a 4 person occupancy-the program won't let them.
They say that even though no add'l bedding, towels, etc will be needed, the add'l child can't get the Magical Express transfer or wouldn't be allowed around the resort. I'd have to take a taxi or shuttle and they won't handle the extra's luggage.
I don't think we need the 2 bedroom villa space wise.
Does anyone know if I can just pay for the Magical Express transfer or for food via cash etc?
Will they kick us out? We'd pay an extra person resort fee etc but the 2 bedroom villa is just not needed and is a lot more money.

I am new to this and found this thread through the DVC board. Would my family of five- two adults, a 6 year old, and twin 3 year olds, be able to stay in a one bedroom at AK Villas? My kids would likely share a bed, they LIKE to do that on vacation. They asked for it once and slept great and now they think part of a vacation is them all getting to pile in one bed. I wouldn't want to but they're still small and think it's fun , so bedding wouldn't be an issue, just whether or not it's allowed.
I think this is just the classic, 'It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask for permission'.
