Need advice on upcoming trip, please

[Kaity'sDad]

I need some advice on an upcoming trip, please. We have a trip planned for next March in a 2BR villa at SSR. We are going with another family. DVC policy is that the 2BRs accomodate up to eight Guests plus one child under the age of 3 in a portable crib. Because of new arrivals they will be expecting we will now have at total of 10 people, but 3 of them will be under the age of 3. Besides obviously being crazy for traveling with this many young kids:hammer:my question is, would you suggest we:
1. Go ahead as planned and hope we don't get caught:veryconfu
2. Modify the ressies and use additional points to get the 3BR
3. Tell the other family they can no longer go
4. Ask DVC if it is ok based on the ages of the children?

With the young ages of the kids they will not have ticket media, so I think it would be hard for the big brother eye of the Mouse to catch us, but I don't feel comfortable with even that small level of dishonesty.

Any advice is not only welcome, but would be greatly appreciated.

If it was my choice, I probably would ask DVC if its okay that there would be more kids arriving and staying in the room. If not, I would use more points for the 3br and ask the families to give up some more share.

I wouldn't want to have 10 people in a 2-BR, especially with 3 of them so little!

I agree.
I think you should get the three bedroom.

It would be really crammed with so many cribs! You would have 7 people and 3 kids under three, right? That would be pretty crowded. We've done 7 and one under 3 in a crib and it was crowded.

I think you will be MUCH happier in a 3-BR villa. What a great time with your family, though! Have fun!

I don't think any of the 3 Bedroom villas are going to be available. They tend to go at the 11 month window. I think you should try to get an extra studio and put some people in there. This is much less points than a 3 BR.

I second this emotion. Plus, with at least 2 couples in your party, you may be able to take turns using the studio for some private time, provided the other grownups don't mind overnight babysitting. You can each get a night for a romantic dinner somewhere in DTD, walk back to the studio and play a rousing game of The Little Mermaid Tries Her New Legs Out.

This is probably the best solution, however, how many would end up in the studio? Two adults and 3 kids would be pretty crowded in a studio.
