Walt Disney World Deluxe Villas, Disney World Resorts

If you want a home away from home during your stay at Disney World hotels, consider one of the deluxe Disney villas. You’ll have eight different Disney resorts from which to choose, and you’ll also have a choice in the type of villa you select.

These range in size from a studio to a three-bedroom villa with four bathrooms! Each villa community offers full kitchens, living rooms, dining areas, whirlpool tubs, TVs with DVD players, swimming pools, valet parking, in-room washers and dryers, and private balconies or patios.

If you’re going to Disney World, you’ll probably have kids in tow. Be sure to take advantage of the special kids’ activities provided at each deluxe villa site, too.

The Disney deluxe villas are perfect for longer stays. Washing and drying your clothes will be super convenient, and you can prepare all your own meals. Families will be able to “spread out,” too.

These units are especially suitable for two couples traveling together, in addition to being ideal for families with children. Below are descriptions of each Walt Disney World deluxe villa community.
