I just got back from a 10 day trip. I noticed on the back of the POFQ room door that the current price for rollaways per day is $15.

Seems to me that an air mattress might be a better idea.

Keep in mind that most moderates have a 4 person limit; some POR rooms have a 5 person limit.

A friend of mine told me that she had some family stay with them at CBR and they had 8 (!) people in their room! I NEVER would do this, but I'm sure there are people that break the fire code rule like this all of the time!

Do they allow air mattresses? We went away over the summer (not wdw) and it was 2 queens and 4 of us.dh myself dd 12 and ds 16 months.he sleeps with me:( so dd was not sleeping with dh.The hotel QUESTIONED us about the air bed like we were stowing people away.I thought it was pretty funny but I guess it happens.

Air mattresses should not be a problem since you are only going to have 4 people in the room. But it would be a good idea to just deflate it / put it away in the morning, to keep away the questions. What becomes a problem is when people really do try to sneak a 5th (or even a 6th) person in the room without having them on the ressie.

However, your post is interesting from the standpoint that if they do suspect that there are more people in a room than allowed and/or listed, they can (and obviously do) question it. That should be information of interest to all of those who ask if it is ok to put more people in the room than allowed or that is on the reservation. (And if anyone wants to discuss that point, it may be best to do so in a new thread. :) )

I just called Animal Kingdom Lodge, and they confirmed the 15$ charge a night for a rollaway bed. We've had rollaways in other hotels and never been charged. This is like internet access, it is penny pinching that leaves a real sours taste in my mouth and considering the total money a WDW vacation costs, it seems unwise. Does anyone know if this is a long standing charge- or recent?

I think it's a long-standing charge. I think this probably IS much like the internet, where 'higher end' hotels charge because they can, but lower end hotels/motels don't so they have something to market/brag about. (I'm going totally on 'feeling' here - I haven't done research on higher end hotel charges for roll-away beds)

Does that include POR? We just booked for our March trip and asked for the trundle. Is there a charge for trundles or just rollaways? Thanks. :)

Nah, rooms with trundles are just part of the room. There won't be an additional charge for that.

I took a photo of the charge on the back of the door. Here's the link....

Heres the thing, these rooms are meant to make money, so they are only allowing so many people in each room, and if you go over, you must have enought beds, so the roll aways, and the charge for the roll aways. The other thing that no one has touched yet, most people staying at WDW have packages that include tickets, dining,etc. If you say you only have 4 in a room, but indeed have 5 or 6 or 7,,,you will have to purchase tickets for those extra people. Beware of the maids, they will tell if they suspect more than the allowed sleepers, and then you will be confronted. I was in the travel business for a long time, and I have spoken to many who wanted to sneek in a few more........they did it with no problem, but I never did advise anyone to do it. It could be costly in the long run. Not to mention uncomfortable........:D
