Best DVC One-Bedroom Villas For Young Families



Stormalong Bay at Disney's Beach Club

Traveling to Disney World with young children can be a lot of fun, but having the right accommodations can make your vacation much easier. One-bedroom DVC villas give families more room to spread out than a typical hotel room or studio. Having a separate bedroom can be especially useful when little ones have earlier bedtimes, and the full kitchen and in-room washer and dryer are great amenities for families. If you are planning a Disney trip with young kids then check out some of the best one-bedroom DVC villas for young families.

Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Bay Lake Tower is a great choice for families who plan on spending a lot of time at Magic Kingdom. Guests can walk between the resort and Magic Kingdom, which can be extremely convenient when traveling with strollers and young children. Instead of folding up your stroller to board a bus, you can simply walk back to your villa when it’s time for a break. Bay Lake Tower’s one-bedroom villas also have two full bathrooms, which can make getting everyone ready in the morning a little easier.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village

Young kids who love animals will have plenty to enjoy during a stay at Kidani Village. Families can book a Savanna View villa and watch animals right from their balcony throughout their vacation. One-bedroom villas at Kidani Village also have two full bathrooms, giving families some additional space when getting ready for a park day. The resort has several animal viewing areas to explore, and the Samawati Springs Pool area has a water playground specifically for younger children.

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Disney’s Riviera Resort can be especially convenient for families visiting EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. The resort has its own Disney Skyliner station, giving families easy transportation to both parks. Being able to roll a stroller directly onto the Skyliner can make transportation much simpler with young kids. Riviera’s one-bedroom villas also offer plenty of space for families along with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. When you aren’t at the parks, kids can spend some time at the resort’s interactive water play area.

Disney’s Beach Club Villas

If your family plans on spending a lot of time at EPCOT then Disney’s Beach Club Villas are worth considering. EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance is just a short walk from the resort, making it easy to return to your room for naps or breaks during the day. Families can also walk or take a boat to Hollywood Studios. Another big advantage for young families is Stormalong Bay, the large pool area shared by Disney’s Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts. Its sand-bottom pool and shallow areas give families plenty of ways to enjoy a resort day.

The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa are another convenient option for families who love Magic Kingdom. Guests can take the monorail to the park or use the walking path connecting the Grand Floridian and Magic Kingdom. Having multiple transportation options can be helpful when traveling with little ones, especially when everyone is tired at the end of the night. The resort also has several dining options and pools nearby, so families don’t have to venture far from their villa on a slower resort day.
