We would love to stay on site to get the express passes and early entry, but I am worried about the room being crowded with 5 people and a roll away bed in it. It would also be convenient because my aunt could take the boat back to the resort if she gets tired during the day. There aren't any deluxe rooms available the day we are going, other than the large suites that would cost an additional $800. Anyone stuffed 5 people into a standard room at RP?
We can still get early admission by booking the HP package with an off site hotel, but we are worried about transportation and we still won't have the express passes. Do any of the hotels offer shuttles to the parks? My aunt doesn't drive and has foot problems, so she wants to be able to return to the hotel if she gets tired during the day.
Are you sure they'll allow five in a room for four? The rooms at RP seem kind of small for five people (toured it during a trip). I've only stayed at HRH and it probably would have been OK with a rollaway.
Also, we've gone to the parks staying offsite and didn't find that we missed having the Express Pass (and it was busy spring break). The key to going without is getting to the park before opening and hitting the major attractions first....and having 2-3 days to do the parks, so you have time to fit everything in even when it's busy.
They will allow 5 with the fifth person in a rollaway (there will be an extra charge at the hotel for the rollaway) but especially at Royal Pacific it will be cozy! There are offsite "partner" hotels that have scheduled shuttles to the parks but many of them don't run continuously so if your aunt wants to return to the room it may be more convenient for her to be onsite.
We had 5 at RP this past December, but 3 of them were children. I thought the rooms were a good size, but we didn't have a rollaway--it would probably feel cramped in that case.
We've stayed in a standard room at RP and HRH with 5 people, 2 adults and 3 children (and 3 teens). Universal allows that, something Disney does not! We brought our own air mattress and did not use a rollaway bed. It wasn't too crowded for us.
We stayed at RP in 2008 and I'm 100% sure we booked a standard room. It was HUGE, though, and definitely wouldn't be crowded, even with 5 people in it. It was one of the largest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. So now I'm wondering if we were upgraded without them telling us? Since some of you said that the standard rooms at RP are crowded with 5 people in them Kinda weird...

We've stayed at RP in 2010. The room was large enough for two queens beds and some extra space. If the resort allows 5 persons I think it will be ok. A bit over crowded for bathroom purpose but manageable.

I think you were upgraded. Our standard room at GF seemed bigger than the standard room at RPR that we viewed. (GF was probably about the same as the room at HRH and I know the square footage at HRH is more that RPR.)
Cool! Now that I think about it, it was the last room at the end of the floor so that may be why it was bigger. Also, we were on our honeymoon so that might've helped
For reference - if you're familiar with some of the rooms at WDW - the standard room at Royal Pacific is 335 square feet with two queen beds. The standard rooms at Disney's value resorts are 260 square feet, standard rooms at Caribbean Beach are 300 square feet, both of those have double beds which take up a bit less room. The standard rooms at the Grand Floridian with two queen beds is 448 square feet.
We booked a deluxe queen room for 5 as they also have the sofa bed and are quotes as being large enough for 5. in reality it will probably be very cramped but we figured i is only for 3 nights then we go to a 2 bedroom villa at disney so we will manage
