Hello Disney Fans and Pros,
We will be celebrating my daughter's quinceanera at Disney December 15-22, 2018. For her special trip, she has requested to stay somewhere on the Animal Kingdom Lodge (AKL) resort property. While I think she'd prefer Jumbo house, she's not adverse to Kidani Village. Since there will be 7 of us traveling and we all want to stay in one room, we'll need a 2-bedroom villa. I know they're hard to come by, so I'm looking for any advice on how to guarantee one. I'm looking into renting DVC points through a reputable company I've used before and having them book it, but I can't confirm availability until 11 months out from the check-in date (DVC booking rules). Going online direct to Disney right now only shows availability on the Club Level and I'd rather not fork over all that extra $$ for amenities we won't use. I'd prefer a Standard View room, but really can't be picky with how hard they are to come by. Does anyone have a tried and true method for booking one of these? Thanks in advance for any advice.

It should be no problem to book one at 11 months. Kidani 2 bedroom villas have 3 full bathrooms so you might be better off there. If you book a dedicated 2 bed, you'll have 2 queen beds in the second bedroom. When we are booking anything larger than a studio, we go with Kidani. Hope you have a great trip!
 
I think you’ll be fine 11 months out. You can also try the DVC rent trade board here on the DIS. I see more AKL availability than most other resorts. I booked with a renter on the boards for our November 2018 Trip. I would put in a request now if you’re using a company or contact a private owner in the boards now. Get a jump start.

Also i offered my DD a Disney Trip for her quinceanera but she wants the full party.

Have fun!!!
