Planning a Disney Vacation Club getaway can be exciting, but availability can sometimes be a challenge when booking within the 7 month booking window. For those looking to secure a reservation with ease, understanding which resorts have better availability is essential. This guide highlights top DVC resorts that are easier to book and offers insights into what makes them stand out.
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa
Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa stands out as one of the largest DVC properties, boasting 888 units and over 1,300 rooms. Its impressive size translates into excellent availability across different room types. From Deluxe Studios to Grand Villas, Saratoga Springs offers various accommodation options to suit different needs and group sizes. A unique feature of this resort is the Treehouse Villas, which can sleep up to nine guests and provide a distinctive lodging experience.
This resort’s prime location near Disney Springs, and Disney’s fabulous water transportation options, adds to this resort’s appeal, offering easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Whether you’re planning a trip well in advance or making last-minute arrangements, Saratoga Springs often has availability due to its extensive inventory.
Disney’s Old Key West Resort
Old Key West Resort is another excellent choice for those seeking ease of booking. As the original DVC resort, it encompasses 49 buildings with over 750 rooms. The resort’s expansive layout means plenty of room options. There are two primary booking categories at Old Key West: Standard and Near Hospitality House. The latter includes Buildings 11-14 and 23-26, which are closer to the lobby and other main amenities. These rooms may book more quickly, but Standard rooms often remain available even closer to your travel dates.
Old Key West’s relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and larger-than-average rooms make it a favorite among DVC members. The spacious accommodations are perfect for families looking for comfort and convenience during their stay.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village
Animal Kingdom Villas consists of two sections: Jambo House and Kidani Village. While both offer unique wildlife experiences, Kidani Village can have great availability when booking last minute. This is because Kidani Village is entirely comprised of DVC villas, whereas Jambo House features both regular hotel rooms and DVC units. With about 490 rooms, Kidani Village provides ample opportunities for booking, especially during the 7-month to 11-month home resort window.
Kidani Village’s distinct appeal lies in its immersive African-themed design and the opportunity to view animals from many of the resort’s rooms. The proximity to Animal Kingdom Park and exclusive resort amenities, such as Sanaa restaurant and Samawati Springs Pool, enhance the experience for guests.
Finding Your Perfect DVC Stay
Booking a stay at a Disney Vacation Club resort can be straightforward when you know which properties offer better availability. Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Kidani Village top the list due to their large inventories and diverse room offerings. Understanding these options helps ensure a magical and hassle-free Disney vacation.
Next time you plan a DVC stay, consider these resorts for their convenience and large amount of availability. For those interested in securing their ideal DVC rental, checking availability and browsing confirmed reservations can streamline the planning process. By focusing on these top DVC resorts, your Disney dreams are just a booking away!
