For larger accommodations and more of a “home away from home” feel, you can stay at a Disney Vacation Club property at Walt Disney World. Available to both DVC members and non-members, these villas are typically located at Deluxe Resort hotels, meaning you’ll get luxurious accommodations but in the form of a studio or multi-bedroom space. For non-members, these properties are available to book through the Disney World website or through third-party sites where DVC owners can rent out points.

Disney World Disney Vacation Club Resort Perks

Staying at a Disney World Disney Vacation Club Villa givs you teh same access as a Deluxe Resort. This will give you access to Early Theme Park Entry, meaning you will be able to enter any of the theme parks 30 minutes before their official opening time. Additionally, Deluxe Resort and Disney Vacation Club Villa guests (excluding Fort Wilderness) are the only ones with access to Extended Evening Hours, which take place on select nights at select parks. This feature will give Deluxe Resort guests an extra two hours in the chosen park for that date after the park has closed to everyone else.
