Connecting or Adjoining Studio Rooms

We are thinking of renting DVC points and were wondering if it is ever possible to get adjoining or connecting studio rooms? We were thinking of rooms are Animal Kingdom and are also looking at a 2 bedroom but want to know all of our options.
 
No, studios connect to an one bedroom at Animal Kingdom. The only connecting studios in DVC are at the Polynesian and they are not a guarantee to get. You might be near each other or on different floors.
 
Except for the Poly, there are no DVC studios at WDW that connect to another studio. The studios are either dedicated (connect internally to no other room) or they connect internally to a 1 bedroom (so that the two together can be reserved as a 2 bedroom). Those are usually called lock off studios. All of the Poly studios connect to another studio.

At some WDW DVC resorts (not all), there are some studios that adjoin other studios (next to each other, but do not have an internal door that connects them). I know that the BWV have some. However, there are not very many of those. The Jambo building (at AKV) has some dedicated studios, but I do not know if any of them are adjoining.

Requests for adjoining (or connecting for the Poly) are not guaranteed.
 
BWV has a lot of adjoining studios (but not connecting). The Village Green area is all studios (except a 1 bedroom considered boardwalk view).

There is always an exception to a rule: There are two studios in the Tokelau Longhouse that are dedicated villas that do not connect to another studio. They are on the ground floor and sandwich the entrance on the east side of the longhouse.

Only connecting studios are at the Poly and they are not guaranteed.

So far, I haven't heard of anyone who hasn't gotten their request for connecting studios.

If you get two studios, you'll have to have at least one guest age 18 or older in each studio.
 
Poly has connecting studios. Others have adjoining studios but the extent to which they exist vary among the resorts. For example, BWV has many dedicated studios (they can only be studios) that are next to other dedicated studios. Also, its lock-off 2BRs (connecting 1BRs and studios) have an alternating room structure as you go down the hall -- e.g., a lock-off will have a 1BR then a studio as you walk down the hall and then the next 2BR lock-off is first a studio and then a 1BR, followed by another that is a 1BR and then a studio etc., so that you end up with many studios next to each other. However, at some other resorts there can be few if any adjoining studios, e.g., AKV Kidani on the floor of any particular building section will have three 2BRs on each side of the hall but often structured, as you are going down the hall, as either one 2BR lock-off, followed a dedicated 2BR (it can only be a 2BR), followed by another 2BR lock-off, or, alternatively, a dedicated 2BR followed by a 2BR lock-off, followed by another dedicated 2BR, with the result that there are few adjoining studios at the resort.

At Poly the request for connecting studios has a high probability of being met since 90% or more of the studios connect to another studio (the ones that don't are usually a couple, one on each side of a floor in a DVC building, on a floor that has an odd number of rooms on each side. The success of having an adjoining studios request met at other DVC resorts (even including BWV) has not been that good based on reports over the years -- many end up with studios fairly near each other or at least on the same floor but not adjoining.
