Hi Marilynn!
Let me be the first to welcome you to planDisney. As a mom of four, I understand the challenges involved when it comes to planning for a large travel party –– with five or more people, the size of a typical hotel room just isn't going to cut it. That's why my family loves taking advantage of the Deluxe Villas when we visit the
Walt Disney World Resort!
The
Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are a fantastic choice for large parties, but you might be interested to learn that this is only one of many
Disney Resorts Collection hotels that offer Deluxe Villa accommodations. In fact, there are
12 Resorts at Walt Disney World that offer large, luxury Villas, including the
Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge which is part of the same Resort as Boulder Ridge. These Resorts offer a variety of Deluxe Studios and 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom Villas, can sleep up to 12 Guests, and have the option to book reservations as a room and ticket package if that works best for you. To see which hotels offer Deluxe Villa accommodations, hover over the "Places to Stay" tab on the Walt Disney World Resort website and select "Deluxe Villas" from the drop-down menu. This will show you the full list of Deluxe Villa Resorts and allow you to search for Resort availability by date –– just make sure to select "Deluxe Villas" under the "Resort Category" filter to make sure that you're getting the correct search results!
All of the Deluxe Villas include special touches to accommodate larger parties, but you'll find something extra special in the 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom Villas –– a fully-equipped kitchen and in-room washer and dryer! And I'm not talking about your typical hotel microwave and mini-fridge, either. Each of these rooms includes a full-sized refrigerator, stove/oven combo, dishwasher, and dining area. They make the perfect space to gather a group!
Thanks for visiting planDisney, Marilynn. Whichever Resort you choose, I'm wishing you lots of pixie dust on your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation!
Have a Magical Day,
Amy
