Disney Deluxe Villas

Disney's Vacation Club units are available on a nightly basis, even to those guests who do not belong to Disney's Vacation Club. The following reviews are covered by my friend and colleague, About.com's Hotel Guide, Charlyn Keating Chisholm:

  • Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort ($385-$2,475) - Providing some of the most dramatic views on Disney World property, along with innovative design and modern amenities.

  • Beach Club Villas ($340-$1,210) - Located adjacent to Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Villas feature beautiful pastel colors and home-like accommodations inspired by the casual elegance of the mid-Atlantic seaside homes of the early 20th century.

  • Boardwalk Villas ($340-$2,260) - Overlooking the festive waterfront dining and entertainment district of Disney's Boardwalk with its Atlantic seacoast theme.

  • Old Key West Resort ($295-$1,725) - This Key West-style resort hotel features a quaint waterfront village of colorful, clapboard-sided, tin-roofed vacation villas with many on-site recreational amenities.

  • Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa ($295-$1,725) - Situated across the lake from Downtown Disney, this Victorian-inspired community recreates the heyday of upstate New York country retreats of the late 1800s, including its historic influence of horse racing.

  • The Villas at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge ($275-$2,260) - African-inspired details, home-like amenities and sweeping savanna views offer a unique lodging adventure.

  • The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge ($330-$1,205) - Rustic grandeur meets the Old West in this resort's studio, one- and two-bedroom vacation villas.
