Looking for a wdr with separate bedroom,

[susan13]

We need a separate bedroom, but are thinking of doing the Disney deluxe plan. Leaning towards wl villa. Any other options that are good deals? Party of five ( 3 kids: 4, 15 month twins)

Thanks

You best deal would be Ft. Wilderness Cabins, or the ASM/AOA family suites.

As PP mentioned, there are the value suites at All Star Music and Art of Animation and the Fort Wilderness Cabins are an option too.

There are also one bedroom villas at all the DVC resorts and if you are looking for a real bargain you might want to consider looking into renting DVC points. It's not for everyone, but if you are sure of your travel dates then it can be a good money saving option if you want to stay at a DVC resort.

However, if you are going in early February, you are not going to find availability for a points stay through DVC.

WL Deluxe Room/Club Level? Here's the WL Deluxe room info (with the club level info since you also get that with the Deluxe rooms) from the WL FAQ thread at:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=34123360#post34123360

DELUXE-TWO QUEEN BEDS & ONE SOFA BED
The Deluxe rooms have now been upgraded to Club Level (Concierge) they sleeps 6. The Deluxe Guest Room has a sitting area separated from the bedroom by French doors, additional television, refrigerator with ice machine, coffeemaker, and wet bar. All Deluxe Guest Rooms feature woodland views, but may also have a view of Bay Lake or the Inner Courtyard.

The deluxe rooms are located through out the Lodge and the views vary, they are considered non view specific. Meaning you don't pay any more for a view you may have, because your paying for the room class not a view. The standard club level rooms are also non view specific which means you may only request a view or room location.

So the location of one of these rooms will be up to the room assigner, if you would like a specific room location you should have the request added to your room reservation. Remember a request isn't a guarantee so you may receive any of the rooms.

example:
Request room located at the end of the North Wing.
Request room Located at the end of the South Wing.
Request room located half way down South Wing near elevators.

There are no deluxe rooms located on the 7th floor, you will have access to the 7th floor via your room key.

I found the following information posted by a Wilderness Lodge expert (trust me this poster knows The Wilderness Lodge and the Villas) adding it to our information as it's very informative.

orignally posted by HumphreytheBearThere are actually 25 "Deluxe Rooms" (Junior Suites) They are 1000, 1003, 1166, 1169, 2000, 2003, 2123, 2166, 2169, 3000, 3003, 3123, 3166, 3169, 4000, 4003, 4123, 4166, 4169, 5000, 5003, 5123, 5166, 5169 and 6123.

All of these rooms do offer a connecting option that would be a room with 2 queen beds or a room with one king bed that is either woods or courtyard view. Rooms X000 are the rooms in the North wing that are at the very end of the hall on the left corner, Contemporary side they are Lake/tree view, X003 are the 2 doors down on the right corner with a pool/lake/tree view rooms X123 are halfway down the south wing in the left corner overlooking the pool/lake/geyser. Room X166 is the room at the far end of the south wing on the left corner with a lake view and rooms X169 are 2 doors down on the right corner also with a lake view. Rooms 2123, 3123, 1166, 1169, 2166, and 2169 have "dormer balconies, due to the design of the building these rooms have brick on the balcony railing so you can not see out unless you are standing up (if you sit you see brick), just FYI.[/size]

If you're getting the deluxe dining plan, do you really need the kitchen in a villa? Or is it just the extra bedroom?

I would go with the WL Deluxe room or even look at all of the Delux villas. Most of them have the 1 or 2 BR villas.
