What resort has the best DVC One Bedroom?

[zavandor]

BLT, AKVK, and VGC all have two full bathrooms in the 1BR villas. If that's important to you, you'd do well to choose one of those. The first two also have larger living spaces than the "second generation" DVC properties like BWV, BCV, and BRV. OKW's villas are largest of all, though they only have one bathroom.

I think VDH too has two baths?
And, for future readers, Poly 2.

I agree - it’s very subjective! We réserve one-bedroom units 90% of the time. We have stayed in studios many times over the years, but pretty much reserve them only for a night or two now to save points. We love the extra space of the one-bedroom. We enjoy those with an extra bathroom especially (BLT is a favorite, but needs a refurb IMHO) because it is extremely convenient.

OKW is also very nice and spacious, but note that there are some buildings that require going into the bedroom to access the bathroom (could be an awkward setup for some groups). Those would be buildings 1-30. Also there are no elevators (except for buildings for those with medical conditions) and no Murphy bed in living room, but there is a sleep chair.

We also like BRV and the units were recently renovated. We stayed in a two-bedroom unit last month and really enjoyed it. WL is a wonderful resort.

We will be staying in a one-bedroom RR unit in November and have heard some nice reviews, so we’re looking forward to that!

As of today.... we have to add 1 more to this list

VDH also has 2 bathrooms in the 1BR. So awesome that both Disneyland Resort DVC have this.

For the OP question. When you jump up to the 1BRs you have tons of good options. We love the rooms at Riviera and we think they are the highlight of the resort. That would be high on our list if you are looking at WDW.

Kidani would also be a great choice if a 2nd bathroom is something you desire but it has a downside of not yet having either of the murphy bed options in the room. Animal Kingdom Lodge is such an awesome resort. Plus really easy to book into for the most part.

We love CCV but we prefer to jump up to a 2BR for our family of 4 there. The great point chart makes it not too painful. Downside is no murphy in the 1BR and they are smaller rooms.

SSR would be on my list if looking for value. We like the rooms there and you get the murphy beds.

And of course, both Disneyland Resort are awesome. Grand Cal would be my favorite but VDH is looking amazing.

That's good to know. As a family of 5, that extra full bath comes in handy.

Have we figured out which is "the best?"

Just returned from 4 nights at VGF and then 4 nights at RIV in 1 bedrooms…I’ve also stayed at pretty much all the Orlando DVC resorts and Grand Cali…always a 1Br or larger. For me, it’s a mix of location and resort ambiance that determine ‘best’…so that means my WDW 1br favs are the Grand and Beach Club…unless you’re talking Christmas time - then it’s Wilderness/Boulder.

It is funny how everyone really loves being at wilderness lodge for the Christmas holidays. I don't think any Other DVC will ever take the place of that resort

In my opinion those which already have the Murphy beds are best. So much better to sleep on and so easy to put away during the day!
