Deluxe Villas with Disney Theming

[lostatdisney]

Which Deluxe Villas have the best Disney theming? I'm thinking that the villas will be great for our family, but we still want that Disney Magic! I would love some recommendations.

I'm voting for Animal Kingdom - Kidani villa's...

Have a magical visit !

For best theme-ing it's either the Polynesian (Hawaian), or Animal Kingdom Lodge (Safari).

I've stayed in all the villas and I think Kidani is the most impressive.

do you want Disney themeing or just theme-

if just theme then AKV or VWL

if you want Disney - Mickey Mouse - BLT or OKW

Good question! Yes, what I'm most after is a deluxe villa with Disney theming! (Not just any theming.) Something that will continue that Disney magic that we will experience in the parks.

I think all the villas have some sort of Disney theming it's just more subdued. You won't find the type of over the top characterization that you find at the values.
The Deluxes sort of "Blend" the theming. For example we love the Beach club villas, you'll get Mickey and his pal all in a "Beachy" type groove. Goofy in swim trunks etc, etc.

great african theming but not a ton of "disney" except for lion king-ish tiles in the shower:

BLT is probably the only DVC with a lot of overt "disney" theming:

Thanks for the photos! I have been curious to try BLT.

That makes sense! I just wondered if some had more of it than others. Thanks!

The DVC resorts are like the deluxe resorts - they are themed to a "theme", not themed so much for Disney. There will be Disney touches here and there, but they are subtle instead of in your face.

BLT has been mentioned, and there was Disney artwork in my villa, but that was it. It was definitely themed as contemporary decor, and the artwork was contemporary in form also. However, if you book a theme park view villa at BLT, you'll have all the Disney theming you want right off your balcony.

I've stayed at nearly all the DVC resorts, and although they are all themed, and I feel like I'm at Disney when I stay there, I feel more like I'm in the Pacific Northwest at VWL, Aftrica at AKV, the Northeast US at BWV or BCV, etc. You feel the overall resort theme more than the Disney connection.

If you want "in your face Mickey", you won't find that at any deluxe resort or villa. You'll want to stay at a value resort.
