There is so much to do at DVC resorts for kids! Continue reading to learn all about these must-do’s for kids at DVC resorts.
Surrey Bike Rental
Looking for a good way to spend some family time at your DVC resort? A surrey bike rental is a fun and memorable way to spend time with your kids at your resort while doing something that they’ll love. Surrey bikes are something the whole family can enjoy. These bike cars can accommodate up to 4 people, and smaller riders can even sit up front without pedals. Surrey bikes are so fun and unique; your child might enjoy it more than actual Disney attractions! DVC resorts with surrey bike rental include Disney’s Boardwalk, Disney’s Old Key West, and Disney’s Saratoga Springs.
Community Hall
Community Halls are a great way to spend time together while enjoying your DVC resort. Several DVC resorts have Community Halls including Bay Lake Tower, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Boardwalk, Disney’s Old Key West, Disney’s Riviera Resort, and Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort. These Community Halls contain daily crafts and activities, as well as DVD rentals, board games, table games, video games, and so much more.
Pools And Water Fun
One of the best perks of staying DVC is the incredible pools. Playing at the pool is an absolute must-do for any kid, especially when Cast Members host waterside trivia and other fun games. Many DVC resorts like Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridan Resort have splash play areas for little ones to enjoy. DVC resort pools also have waterslides for additional fun!
Nightly Campfires and Movies Under the Stars
Many DVC resorts host nightly campfires alongside activities like marshmallow roasting and storytelling. Later on, movies under the stars are shown on an outdoor projection screen. DVC resorts with campfires and movies under the stars include Bay Lake Tower, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club, Boardwalk, Grand Floridan, Old Key West, Polynesian, and Disney’s Riviera.
