Disney Deluxe Villas: What Are They and Why Would You Stay in One Instead of a Hotel Room?

Disney Deluxe Villas are a separate category of accommodations that are part of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) suite of properties. (DVC is Disney's version of a timeshare program). There are villas at Walt Disney World, Disneyland and other destinations away from Disney Parks. What many people don't realize, however, is that these upscale accommodations are available for booking by non-DVC members, making them a great option to consider particularly in three specific scenarios. 

I often describe the Deluxe Villas as being the Disney equivalent of a condominium, so you can picture these villas as Deluxe Disney condos.

Most of the properties at Walt Disney World are linked to a corresponding Disney Deluxe Resort, but there are three  standalone villa properties as well. Villas are available in several configurations, including studios (similar to a standard hotel room), one-bedroom villas, two-bedroom villas and grand villas, which are the largest. There are also several very unique options among Disney Deluxe Villas: including the Bora Bora Bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, the Cascade Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge and the Treehouse Villas at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
