The Best DVC Resort for Every Kind of Vacationer

Simply stating that one of the 14 Disney resorts locations is, “The best DVC resort,” is impossible because each one offers something different! Though all owners have their love for Disney in common, they come from all walks of life and have different needs for their travels, which is why no two resorts in their network are identical. Our timeshare experts have worked for years with interested Disney Vacation Club buyers in determining which resort is best for their vacations, and we want to help you out, as well! Here are just a few superlatives for the different Disney resorts around the US:

Most Luxurious — The Grand Floridian

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Just across the lake and a few-minute boat or monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom sits the stunning Grand Floridian Resort. You’ll be in awe of the resort’s magnificent entrance, often accompanied by live music that you can enjoy throughout your stay. Hang out near the outdoor pools in the lavish poolside cabanas, schedule a world-class spa treatment, or enjoy the view at the edge of the lake that overlooks Magic Kingdom. There are over 10 restaurants, bars, and cafes ranging from casual to fine dining available. The Cast Members here are particularly loved for their attention to detail and the quality of their work from the moment you arrive. Those seeking the ultimate, ritzy Disney experience will want to stay in these villas at least once.

The amazing furnishings and finishes extend past the common areas of the resort and into their many villas. Studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom options are available and all with private balconies. Some guests might even be lucky enough to have a room that faces Magic Kingdom where they can enjoy the fireworks all from the comfort of their own room. Though upscale, there is still plenty for children to do with the Alice In Wonderland-themed splash pad, princess and character dining on-site, Disney’s Pirate Adventure that departs from their marina, an arcade room, sports courts, and much more.

Most Relaxing — Hilton Head Island Resort

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Some vacationers want to worry less about filling up their schedules and instead get some much needed R&R during their trips, and Hilton Head Island Resort is one of the ideal DVC properties to visit for that very reason. In addition to Hilton Head, South Carolina being loved for its beaches and overall laidback vacation vibe, Disney enhances that experience through their incredible resort. Located in the Broad Creek area, parents can fill up their children’s days with fulfilling activities and the on-site amenities while they relax in the sunshine near the outdoor heated pool or hang out on the beach that seems to go on for miles and miles. You could even rent a sailboat, go horseback riding, and eat at the many southern restaurants at your disposal.

Hilton Head Resort offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas each with their own private patio or balcony. Depending on the size of your room, you might also receive extra accommodation perks like a full kitchen, living area, dining area, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Instead of worrying about getting to and from the Disney parks in Florida or California, you can instead spend your days in the sand or visiting the Big Dipper Spa. It’s a different kind of Disney vacation but it’s magical all the same!

Best for Families — Wilderness Lodge

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Bringing young children to Disney World is such an incredible experience, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is filled with character and charm from the moment you arrive. The cabin-themed resort welcomes guests with incredible timber columns and an 82-foot stone fireplace in their lobby. The whimsical furnishing is especially adored over the holiday season when the building is decked out with an incredible tree and other stunning decor. The fun doesn’t end there—their suites that sleep anywhere from five to nine people are also outfitted with the cabin theme and have either kitchettes or full kitchens, perfect for families of every size.

Along with these details, Wilderness Lodge has other characteristics that make it ideal for families. The famous Magic Kingdom is just a short boat ride away from Wilderness Lodge and takes 5-8 minutes to walk from nearly any room and the boat loading area, which is ideal for parents corralling their youngsters. Outdoor swimming pools, bike paths, water sports on Bay Lake, campfires, and a variety of kid and teen programs are offered. There are two family-friendly dining options on-site and plenty for the kids to explore before visiting the other Disney parks just minutes away!

Best for Adults — Beach Club Resort and Villas

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

The kids aren’t the only ones that deserve a little fun while staying at the most magical place on earth! Located near Crescent Lake is the beautiful Beach Club Resort and Villas which receives our vote for the best DVC resort for adults. Designed to look like New England cottages near the sea, adults can relax at this resort and take advantage of all it has to offer. It’s walking distance to Disney’s lively BoardWalk filled with restaurants, shops, and bars, the International Gateway entrance to Epcot, and Hollywood Studios, all of which are adult Disney guest favorites. Additionally, it has what many consider the best swimming pool in Disney that’s over three acres and features a sandy bottom, a lazy river, and a water slide. It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a week of fun.

If you happen to bring the kids along with you or other family and friends, no worries! There are studio, one-, and two-bedroom villas available on the secondary market typically with full kitchens, living areas, and dining areas to make room for everyone (not to mention, on-site child care for those evenings you want to enjoy some fine dining at the Yacht Club). These rooms feature private balconies and can overlook Stormalong Bay, Disney’s Boardwalk, woodlands, the pool, or their courtyard, and each have quaint decor that matches the resort’s cottage theme.

Most Affordable — Saratoga Springs

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Transport yourself to the elegant, Victorian-styled Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa all on a budget when spending your vacation in Disney. In addition to Saratoga Springs being a great place for the entire family to visit, it has additional perks with the lowest dues in the network. It’s often lower resale price and remaining 36 years left on the contracts has made it one of the most affordable DVC resort options out there for Disney lovers who want to keep their vacationing budgets lower. Accommodation sizes can hold anywhere from four to nine guests, which can assist you in keeping costs even lower.

Just because Saratoga Springs is one of the most affordable DVC timeshare resorts doesn’t mean it doesn’t deliver the same incredible levels of fun and excitement! The two Disney-themed pools with a waterslide and play area will keep the kids entertained for hours and there’s an 18-hole golf course and the beautiful Senses Spa on the property for adults! Biking trails, campfires, and an arcade are just a few of the additional ways you can spend your days here. When you want to explore what else this iconic place has to offer, Saratoga Springs is just a short distance away from all of the parks, which is ideal for families who want to get the whole Disney experience!

Most Lively — BoardWalk Villas

Lake Buena Vista, Florida

If your idea of a great vacation is exploring the hidden gems of Disney World, then the BoardWalk Villas are an ideal place for you to stay! Go back in time as you walk the wooden boardwalk on Crescent Lake’s waterfront that’s inspired Atlantic City and Coney Island. These streets are linked with a number of themed restaurants, retail stores, and bars that are all steps from the villas. At night, guests will also enjoy the street performers that are ready to entertain anyone who walks by. The boardwalk is also connected to Epcot and walking distance to Hollywood Studios, which is great for anyone who wants to walk the many countries and attractions the parks have to offer.

Disney’s BoardWalk Villas offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with varying views from their private balconies or patios. On-site, guests can also hang out at the many themed pools on the property, try out the on-site water slide, play Fairways miniature golf, enjoy a movie under the stars, or challenge others to games at the arcade. From sunup to sundown, there’s plenty for you to do and see when you visit!
