Disney World is known for its attention to detail when immersing guests not only in the parks, but in the resorts as well. Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resorts offer guests luxurious accommodations, studio to three bedroom options, and some of the most magical views you’ll ever see. We have compiled DVC resorts with the best Disney views to make sure you have the most memorable Disney vacation!
5. Disney’s Riviera Resort
Disney’s newest DVC resort Riviera offers a more luxurious experience, with inspiration taken from European countries showcased in the architecture, food, and artwork throughout the resort. Being a Disney Skyliner stop, this DVC resort sits close to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Both parks have an amazing skyline view that you can choose to have at Riviera!
Riviera sits on a lake next to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, which is another preferred view option. If you don’t get a chance to overlook the two parks, there’s still great options looking over the lake, pool area, and the Disney Skyliner! It makes for a perfect morning while sipping your coffee and taking in a morning at Disney.
4. Disney’s Boardwalk Villas
Boardwalk is already a great place to stay with all the amenities and dining options within the resort, but it offers some of the best views in Disney as well. There are plenty of views at the Boardwalk and all of them have something unique to offer! You can choose from a boardwalk view, garden/pool view, or a standard view.
The boardwalk view is by far the best as it looks over Crescent Lake to the Yacht and Beach Club Resort and the Swan and Dolphin. This view truly has you embrace the ambience of the Boardwalk as you hear the music and chatter of nightlife below you.
3. Polynesian Villas and Bungalows
You can never go wrong with a monorail loop resort and at the Polynesian, there’s a few key spots that offer a beautiful view of Seven Seas Lagoon. When booking at Polynesian, if you’re wanting a theme park view, the north side of Moorea, Hawaii, and Tuvalu are the way to go. At night, you can enjoy the fireworks from the comfort of your room and see attractions like Space Mountain and Tron lit up at night.
The grounds and scenery of Polynesian also offer relaxing views. Some buildings overlook the iconic Great Ceremonial House or one of the two pool areas. This DVC resort in general offers a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the parks and it feels like you’re actually in the South Pacific.
2. Bay Lake Tower
Magic Kingdom is one of the most magical parks in the world, and at Bay Lake you can wake up to this park as your view each morning. Built right next to Contemporary Resort, Bay Lake is the DVC tower option if you want to stay a walking distance from Magic Kingdom. The park is in clear view from your window, where you can see iconic attractions like Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain.
At night, your view gets even more magical as you watch Happily Ever After from your window. There’s also a DVC rooftop lounge if you want to enjoy some drinks for the fireworks. Any resort on the monorail loop is worth it, but the view from Bay Lake makes it one of the best resort views.
1. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Where else can you walk out onto your hotel balcony and see a giraffe or zebra walking by? Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge arguably offers the most unique and magical resort view on Disney World property. It’s worth it every time to upgrade to a savannah view at this DVC resort because you’re not getting this view anywhere else!
Staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, you’ll either be placed on the Jambo House wing or the Kidani Village Wing. Each part has an amazing savannah view and you’ll see so many animals walk by your room each morning and roam throughout the afternoon.
Disney World can be busy at times, but it’s always important to take a day at the resort to enjoy your time being on vacation. The resorts listed above offer the best Disney views that make you feel like you’re truly in the most magical place.
