We own at Canyon Villas and know the studio unit has bedding for 4. Our friend is staying in our studio for a few nights while we are not using. He has 3 little kids 5-13. Will Marriott allow all 5 in a studio. He seems to think it will work fine and no larger units are available.

If you don't tell Marriott, they won't have to "allow" it.

Yes, I told him to not advertise at check in that he had the three children. My only hope is that Canyon Villas is not still doing the arm bands for pool entrance because they would only give you as many as the max occupancy of your unit. I seem to remember they locked up the pool area now and don't have them. I did have fun collecting each year's band.

I wouldn't consider three little kids being 5 through 13 as "little". They are more than toddlers. Are you staying in the whole 2BR and then just letting them use the studio, or do you have the studio only booked and then they are staying the last few nights you won't be there? If the former, then you should be fine as long as you are not over the 8 for the entire 2BR. If the latter, it might be a tough sell at the resort.

Last time I was there we had plastic key cards for the JW pools.

Actually - they are 5,7, and 10 - typo with the 5-13.
We are not staying at the same time. He and his wife were going to take studio for 3 nights while mother in law watched kids. He has medical appt. so we were helping out by giving them studio a few nights. Apparently she backed out and they are now having to take kids. Even the larger one bedroom really only sleeps 4 - but not available to switch to.

We will just hope for the best given the last minute circumstances. He refers to his kids as little - so who am I to judge - I guess age is relative.

I absolutely stuck lots of kids in hotel rooms when they were little. I'm with you, they will be fine.
