Best villas

[Roxyvdm]

Hi which villa is which resort do you think is the best for a family of four

 

[Marthasor]

The answer to that really depends on what you are looking for in a resort and villa. Which parks will you visit most? Do you want a full kitchen, plus washer/dryer? Do you need real beds for everyone or are some pull-outs ok? Will you use the pool at all?

 

[OKW Lover]

OKW has the largest villas.

 

[Roxyvdm]

Yes to using kitchen and washer dryer. Pool is okay not important but nice. And yes real beds. I like magic kingdom and Hollywood studios

To have a kitchen and W/D will require a 1 or 2BR. Studios do not have kitchens.

The best one is the one you are staying in!

Less facetiously: I've stayed at six different DVC resorts. I have some preferences among those, but every single one has things to recommend it. There are some questions to ask yourself when thinking about this:

1: How much space will you want? What in-room amenities are important to you? Some folks are happy to put four in a studio. We happen to think a 2BR is just right for the four of us, and even when I'm alone I like having a separate living room, a kitchen, and a washer/dryer.

2: Do you want to be in the middle of it all 24/7, or do you want your resort to be a bit of a respite from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks? There are times for both, but overall I tend to prefer being a bit removed from the action for some real downtime.

3: Will you have a car, or would you rather rely entirely on Disney to get you from place to place? I almost always rent a car, and am willing to drive to most internal destinations myself.

4: Is there a "vibe" you are looking for: Rustic and playful? Elegant and luxurious? Each resort has a slightly different feel to it, and some might fit you better than others. I tend to gravitate to the informal and casual, but also appreciate understated elegance.

5. How much do you want to spend...

OKW 2BR = 290 pts in summer for a week
VGF 2BR starts at 454 pts for the same period

Good point (pun intended)
