Wilderness Lodge Villas - 5 people?

[jaime_1234]

I was wondering if anyone has stayed in the Wilderness Lodge Villas Studio. On the Disney website, it says there is a queen bed, a sleeper sofa, and a pull-down bed. However, when I look at pictures of the room I see no signs of this pull-down bed. Can anyone confirm it is there? Even better, does anyone have pictures? We would have 5 people so we need the extra bed!

I thought you could only have 4 people in a studio (unless the 5th is under 3?)

Hmm, I don't know...on their site it says 5, but maybe it's 5 only if the 5th is under 3? https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/villas-at-wilderness-lodge/rates-rooms/

Allears has a photos and videos of many different rooms. Try checking over there.

Thanks, I looked at the video, but still no sign of this elusive pull-down bed. They either have it camouflaged really well, or it's nonexistent.

I think the pull down bed is a relatively new thing. Somewhere on the forum are pics of the newly refurbished rooms with before and after pics. The pulldown bed is in the cabinet that supports the tv.

EDIT: here, look at comment #6

The pull-down beds are brand new. The refurb that added them was scheduled to be completed just two days ago, and Disney has not yet updated its website to show pictures of the refurbished rooms. (It may take them awhile! I remember PORS was refurbed before our last visit, and it was completed for at least a month before the official Disney website was updated with new photos of the rooms.)

The Murphy bed is smaller than a standard twin bed (the same size as the Murphy beds in PORS' Alligator Bayou and the Grand Floridian Villa studios). I would estimate that it would comfortably sleep most kids up to age 10 or so. When we stayed at PORS, my 4 and 6-year-olds each tried the Murphy bed and found it comfortable.

EDIT: I just found some online info. stating that the Murphy beds at PORS are 35" x 65" (4" narrower and 10" shorter than a standard twin-size mattress). The one in the VWL studios likely have the same 35"x65" dimensions.

Finally, proof that it exists! Thank you all for the info. I'm not sure if it would work for us or not...I'm the smallest one in our group, so I'd probably be the one to get that bed (I'm only 5'1). It's something to think about I guess!
