Rooms that sleep 5 at Disney World are Port Orleans Riverside’s 5th Sleeper rooms (2 queens plus a child-size pull-down), most Deluxe rooms, where the fifth guest takes a daybed, and Deluxe Studios at six DVC resorts. For 6, Disney has the Value family suites, the Fort Wilderness Cabins and a few Deluxe rooms with a sleeper sofa.
At Universal Orlando, Kids’ Suites and Signature Collection 2-queen rooms sleep 5, and Cabana Bay and Endless Summer suites sleep 6 to 8. The Epic Universe hotels Stella Nova and Terra Luna cap every room at 4.
Quick answer: For 5 with a young child at Disney, pick a Port Orleans Riverside 5th Sleeper room (Alligator Bayou); for 5 with older kids, a Deluxe room with a daybed or a DVC Deluxe Studio. For 6 at Disney, pick an Art of Animation or All-Star Music Family Suite. At Universal, pick the Aventura Kids’ Suite for 5 on a budget, a Royal Pacific or Hard Rock Kids’ Suite for free Express, a Cabana Bay or Endless Summer suite for 6 and Helios Grand for Epic Universe.

Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort have no suites, only 315 sq ft 2-queen rooms for up to 4. Universal’s booking tool counts children from age 0 toward that maximum, so plan for a baby to take one of the 4 spots. Your options:
- Book two rooms. Parking is charged per vehicle ($30 plus tax a night at the time of writing), so two cars pay twice.
- Switch to Helios Grand. It sleeps 5 and has its own Epic Universe entrance.
- Pick a Cabana Bay Family Suite. It sleeps 6, and Early Park Admission still covers Epic Universe.

Occupancy rules to check before booking
| Rule | Disney World | Universal |
|---|---|---|
| Babies | 1 child under 3 in a crib isn’t counted | Booking tool counts kids from age 0 |
| Cribs | Free | Free Pack ‘n Plays at most hotels |
| Extra adults | Charges may apply above 2 | $15-$55 each above 2 |
- Universal extra-adult fees: $15 at Dockside and Surfside; $20 at Cabana Bay, Aventura, Stella Nova and Terra Luna; $25 at Sapphire Falls; and $55 at Hard Rock, Portofino Bay, Royal Pacific and Helios Grand, at the time of writing, so check current terms.
- Age: You must be 21 to book a Universal hotel room.
How to choose: one room, one suite or two rooms
- Count real beds. A pull-down or rollaway suits a young child, not a teen.
- Count bathrooms. Of the suites here, only the Disney family suites and Cabana Bay’s 2-bedroom suites have two.
- Weigh the perks. Free Express comes only with Hard Rock, Royal Pacific and Portofino Bay and doesn’t cover Epic Universe. At Disney, Deluxe and DVC stays add Extended Evening Hours to Early Theme Park Entry.
- Price out two rooms. Two Disney Value rooms sleep up to 8 with two bathrooms, and planners note they can cost less than a family suite.
- Add parking. Disney Resort hotels have free overnight self-parking. Universal hotels charge $26-$36 plus tax per vehicle per night but list no resort fee (at the time of writing).

Frequently asked questions
Which Disney World resorts have rooms that sleep 5?
Port Orleans Riverside sells 5th Sleeper rooms in Alligator Bayou with 2 queens and a child-size pull-down bed. Most Deluxe standard rooms sleep 5 with a daybed, except at Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Disney lists Deluxe Studios at six DVC resorts (BoardWalk, Beach Club, Boulder Ridge, Grand Floridian, Polynesian and Riviera) as sleeping 5.
Does a baby count toward room occupancy at Disney World or Universal?
At Disney, one child under 3 sleeping in a crib doesn’t count toward the room’s maximum, and cribs are free, but only one infant per room is exempt. Universal’s booking tool counts children from age 0 toward the room maximum, so plan for a baby to take one of the room’s spots.
What is the cheapest Disney World room that sleeps 6?
The Family Suites at Art of Animation and All-Star Music are the lowest-tier Disney rooms for 6. Both have 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette, and which one costs less depends on your dates, so price both with Disney. If they’re sold out, compare two standard Value rooms.
Which Universal Orlando hotels can fit 5 people in one room?
At the five Signature Collection hotels, a standard 2-queen room takes a fifth guest on a rollaway ($35 plus tax a night, one per room, at the time of writing). The Kids’ Suites there and at Aventura add a separate kids’ room with 2 twins. Loews’ online booking tops out at 6 guests per room, and at Stella Nova and Terra Luna you need two rooms.
Do the Universal Kids’ Suites include Express Pass?
Only at Hard Rock, Royal Pacific and Portofino Bay, where every registered guest gets free Express Unlimited at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, though not at Epic Universe. The Kids’ Suites at Aventura, Sapphire Falls and Helios Grand don’t include Express. Perks change, so check current terms.
