Large Families Looking for Deluxe Pricing at Walt Disney World, Continued
LARGE FAMILIES LOOKING FOR DELUXE DISNEY WORLD ROOMS, CONTINUED
10 People: these parties are the largest that can fit into two (hopefully) connected rooms at the Poly. This will cost $95/person per night.
If the group must all be in the same space, and thus is not willing to bet on actually getting connected rooms, only a Grand Villa will work. (See “9 People” for details on Grand Villas.)
A Grand Villa at VAKL will cost about $194/person/night for 10 people if your reserve though the WDW website; if you can manage to rent points, the cost drops to $87/person/night.
Another less expensive option for a group this size is to have most of the group together but up to 4 nearby but not in connected space.
There are some families or parties for which this might actually be a benefit. For example, they may want to group the littlest children and their parents into an 8 person space, and reserve a 4 person space for childless couples, grandparents, and/or teenagers, all of which may either benefit from the privacy and/or contribute to the peace of mind of the party of up to 8 by being in a separate space.
If this describes your group, then your best bet is both a 2 Bedroom Villa and a separate Studio at the Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
This gives 4 bays, not 6 as in a Grand Villa, and of course one of the bays will not be connected to the rest. But the building that contains Villas at the Wilderness Lodge is so small that the studio can’t be very far from the 2 bedroom, and the price will be much lower than a Grand Villa.
This same option works for families that don’t necessarily want this separation of part of their party, but are willing to accept it because it is cheaper than a grand villa, or allows them to stay at the Wilderness Lodge, which is the best overall choice among the DVC options for first time family visitors, but is one of only two DVC properties without Grand Villas (the Beach Club Villas are the other.)
In cash, renting both a Two Bedroom and a Studio will be in total $129/person per night for 10 people; if you can rent points, the cost drops to $65/person/night.
11 People: Your basic options are a Grand Villa at the Villas at the Animal Kingdom Lodge or a Studio and a Two Bedroom Villa at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge.
See the end of “9 People” for details on Grand Villas, and the end of “10 People” for the Wilderness Lodge option.
A Grand Villa will cost $177/person per night if you reserve through the website, and $79/person/night if you rent points.
A Studio and a Two Bedroom at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge will cost (in total) $117/person/night if you reserve over the website, and $59/person/night if you rent DVC points.
