I have brought an extra person in SEVERAL times, they were there at check in and used the pool and everything, no one said a word, no one cared. Dont worry about it. I am not going to pay another $175.00 a night for one extra kid, we only sleep in the room as it is! Dont let people scare you with the "Moral clause" *eye roll*

Another vote for at least trying to swap your room reservation from CBR to POR. For the same money (if the room is available), you'll be a lot more comfortable, and you won't have to worry about trying to sneak anyone past the front desk/housekeeping staff.

One of the perks of staying on property is using the Extra Magic Hours. I think by switching your reservations- you'll really enjoy being able to stay in the parks longer. Plus- I'm extra picky. I wouldn't live in a house with one bathroom. It's torture to have 3 adults sharing a bathroom for a week. Trust me!

We are a family of five and stay at DVC, that being said, this year we used our DVC points to stay at the Grand Californian with the five of us my husband and I, 17 year old son and 9 year old twins (B/G). We were booked as a party of five and so we all got room keys and they delviered one of those folding beds for my daughter, 5 in a room was so tigh and we only had hte one bathroom (tough with a teeanger), and the Grand California is their luxery hotel, I would not recommend at CBR at all, try Fort Wilderness too, cost depends on time of year and sometimes there are good deals, don't pack them in, UNCOMFORTABLE!

I say if your not going to feel cramped go for it. In all honesty I am doing something like this soon staying with my friend the entire week at a value resort to go to WDW with him everyday. Yes my situation is a tad different since it will only be two people which is normal for a room. BUT I agree with the person way above I have an AP & to be "in" the room Disney wanted the other person staying in the room to get tickets ect. which I don't need. They were telling my friend this & that there wasn't just an added room fee & that I needed a "package". So will we be using EMH no but who cares because I won't have to drive back & forth an hr. each day to be at WDW with my friend for the week. (sorry if that sounded like too much ranting but having to get the same "package" to be on the room is stupid)

Staying with a 3 yo
You only have four adults and the 3yo I am assuming is a regular 3 yo, in terms of size. The room will be a little crowded however, you should at least have a larger bathroom at the mid resort and the vanity is outside the actual bathroom. It is your decision but I have a three year old and we actually stayed at the Coronado Springs with DH, one of my sisters, 21, a cousin, 14, me and my 3yo. We did fine. We all had to carve out our space. No one said a word to us, anywhere.

1. You obviously haven't been to a lot of boards.
2. There is a difference between allowing discussion and condoning. The WDW policy about occupancy is very clear, and the majority of people know this. The question was not "Is it OK to have more than the stated occupancy?" rather "How strict is WDW about enforcing the rule?"
Some boards allow posters to actively participate in working the system through exchanges and allow their forums to be used for people to coordinate those efforts. wdwmagic does not allow this, and if the poster was, say, looking for 4 people to share the cost of the room, the thread would be deleted.
The answers have varied, with the majority of people stating that they would not purposely violate the rules. So, again, no administrator or moderator would approve of the action, but the OP was not looking for approval or permission (I hope) If that is the case...it's wrong, so don't do it, but you already knew that.

Ok, so I should cancel my trip????? All the other hotels are booked for the time we are going ( I tried all the value hotels for 2 rooms and the cabins at fort wilderness) Just because we are over 1 person for the limit, I guess you didn't read my post, I never wanted to cheat the system, actually I would prefer to get 2 rooms or a cabin, just the time we are going this is the only thing we can do. You have a great day as well.

What I like about this board vs. others is that people can talk about things like hotel occupancy, pool hopping, resort mug reuse in a somewhat adult manner. There are many people out there who don't know every single minute detail and rule and want answers. There are many who know the rules, but want to know if it is a big or little rule. There are many who are strictly looking to get the most bang for thier buck, no matter what. No matter what the reason, the moderators and admin have allowed that discussions can take place instead of laying an all might edict down that there are certain topics that are "banned." I think as long as we can treat each other respectfully then its OK to have discussions where people disagree. People may not change their minds, but they might come away with some new knowledge.
