Disney timeshare resorts, often referred to as Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resorts, are designed with a variety of accommodations to suit varying family sizes, including larger families. When it comes to deciding on the best Disney timeshare resorts for large families at Disney World, it's essential to consider aspects such as room capacity, amenities, activities, dining options, and accessibility to the theme parks.
Let’s take a look at the aspects of DVC timeshare resorts that make them attractive to larger families:
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas offer an authentic experience that blends the magic of Disney with the splendor of Africa. This resort features spacious accommodations with options of one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas, whether it be at Kidani Village or Jambo House.
The splendor of the three-bedroom grand villa cannot be overstated. With the ability to sleep up to 12 guests comfortably, this resort is ideal for large families or groups. Each unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, spacious living and dining area and private balconies, offering the conveniences of home with the enchantment of Disney.
Moreover, the resort overlooks an actual savannah, populated with over 30 species of African wildlife. It offers a chance for families to bond over nature and learn about different animals, making it an educational and fun experience. The resort also features diverse dining options, from quick-service outlets to award-winning, sit-down restaurants.
Onsite next to one of the original Magic Kingdom resorts, Disney's Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower combines a modern aesthetic with a convenient location. The resort is within walking distance of the Magic Kingdom as well as accessible to the monorail system, making it a favorite choice for families. The accommodations range from deluxe studios to three-bedroom grand villas, sleeping up to 12 guests, with kitchens, spacious living areas and private balconies overlooking either Bay Lake or the Magic Kingdom.
One unique feature of the resort is the view of the Magic Kingdom's fireworks from some of the villas and the Top of the World lounge. Families can also enjoy the Bay Cove Pool with a fun-filled waterslide, and motorized boat rentals to cruise around Bay Lake. Dining options include quick-service meals and fine dining at the California Grill, located in the neighboring Contemporary Resort.
Within walking distance of Epcot and a short boat ride from Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Beach Club Villas provide convenience and charm. The New England-style decor is inviting, with one- and two-bedroom villas with spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and private balconies or patios. The two-bedroom lockoff villas are the best option for larger families, as they sleep up to nine guests and have an additional kitchenette in one of the bedrooms, adding an element of privacy.
The Beach Club Villas resort has one of the most impressive pool areas among all Disney resorts – Stormalong Bay, a three-acre mini water park. This sandy-bottomed pool, complete with a shipwreck waterslide, is sure to delight both children and adults. There are also quiet pools for more relaxed swimming.
The Villas are part of the larger Beach Club Resort complex, and this provides guests with a wide range of dining options, from a casual ice cream shop to upscale seafood dining at Cape May Café.
Disney’s Old Key West Resort is nostalgic as the original DVC resort and stands out for its relaxed, laid-back charm and spacious accommodations. With its one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas, the resort provides ample space for large families. The two-bedroom villa accommodates up to nine, while the grand villa sleeps up to twelve guests.
