While DVC resorts are very well-equipped for extended stays, they are still excellent options for those who wish to stay for a short time. A short visit to Disney World does not mean you have to skip out on all the amenities and activities that DVC resorts have to offer. Staying DVC is beneficial for short stays due to their close proximity to the Disney parks, excellent transportation options, and endless ways to relax and have fun! Do you wish to plan a short visit to Disney World? Here are our favorite DVC resorts that are ideal for short stays!

If you are looking for a DVC resort that has the most entertainment to offer during your short stay then Disney’s Boardwalk Villas are a great option for you.
