    Have res. for VWL for Nov. trip with 2 ad. and 3 ch. in 1BR villa. Was told a 5th can be accommodated but need to bring own linens. Is this for sleeper chair? Also, have waitlist for BCV 1BR (same info), which hotels do BC & WL share buses with? Thanks

    Howdy Jennifer!

    Thanks so much for all of the questions you have asked the Disney Parks Moms Panel.  We love repeat Guests!! 

    I have spoken with numerous Cast Members regarding your party size and I am concerned about your reservation as the "official" capacity is 4 in the 1 Bedroom Villas for both The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Beach Club Villas.

    Air mattresses can be requested for an additional $15/day + tax from both resorts.  I have been told that you don't need to supply linens for the air mattresses - but - again - the room capacity is 4 and I am concerned that you might have challenges at check-in and that is not how I want your vacation to begin.

    I would encourage you to call Disney Vacation Club Member Services and ensure that your resort plans are as you need them to be.

    Regarding bus service:  unfortunately, this is not an easy question to answer because the answer depends on your destination  The bus routes are determined by Cast Members in Disney Transportation (in my humble opinion, they are logistical geniuses) and are based upon a variety of factors including anticipated crowds, etc. When traveling on Disney transportation, Cast Members typically suggest an hour and a half of travel time. It's not that anything is too far away, but busses do run about every 20-25 minutes.

    I hope this helps you in your planning.  Please let me know if you have any further questions and have a magical day!
