Am awaiting Disney's passing of ROFR for some BWV points, as I know Boardwalk has some single story grand villas. Am thinking of maybe also buying into another DVC as well that has grand villas that are all one level. I think that AKV does. From what I can tell, the BLT has only 2-story grand villas, as well as DL's VGC. Saratoga Springs appears to have the tree houses that are one level. Are there any other DVC's with single story floor plans for dedicated grand villas?

Are you looking to always stay in a Grand Villa and book close to the 11 month mark? There are not a lot of Grand Villas in each resort and they book up fairly quickly.

As for single story grand villas the only one I can say with certaintity is AKV Jambo House (Kidani is 2 Story) and there are not many of them (I think 4 or something like that).
 
Boardwalk has both types and its impossible to be able to guarentee one over the other (unless, I suspect, one of the single levels is HA and you book it through Disability Services - not sure on that).

Saratoga Springs Grand Villas are on 2 levels(at least the one we stayed in last Thanksgiving). Master Bedroom on first floor, 2nd & 3rd bedrooms on the 2nd level along with the W/D.

They do have a 3rd bathroom on the first floor(shower only).
 

The only ones with single story GVs are BWV (which also has 2 story) and Jambo house at AKL(the six at Jambo house are all single story, the 16 at AKL Kidani are all 2 story). With BWV single story is a request that is not guaranteed. At AKL, you are guaranteed a Jambo GV if you can reserve it (very often GV's at BWV and AKV Jambo are reserved exactly 11 months out).
 
Good to know. If we bring our 83 year old grandmother, who will be staying in villa not touring the parks all day with us, we don't want her climbing stairs. We may also look into just using a lock-off studio unit next to ours too, but like the feeling of home, with the space of grand villa better.
 
One thing to keep in mind - the SSR GVs have separate entrance doors on both floors (to the halls) so there is elevator access to the upstairs - not necessarily convenient, but access nonetheless. :)

I don't know if the second floor in the BLT GVs are similar, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think both BLT and AKV - Kidani have this configuration too. As you said - not completely convenient but it would avoid stairs.

But this means going out of the villa down the hall possibly to the elevator to go up or down, then back down the hall and into the villa.

At SSR, our GV was at the end of the hall at the back of the building so for someone not so mobile it would take a bit of effort.

Best bet would be to give that person the master on the first floor, and the OP could be upstairs with her toddlers.

Yep! ::yes:: Pretty much what I consider "not totally convenient"! :rotfl: If they only went up to the room to sleep it wouldn't be terrible though.
 
The treehouses at SSR are not Grand Villas. The GV at SSR as others have stated are two floors.
