    Asking for purposes of getting on a waitlist for November 2026 for 3 DVC Deluxe Studio rooms - which resort might we have a better chance of successfully obtaining rooms - Animal Kingdom or Sarasota Springs?

    Hi Mary, welcome home and welcome to planDisney! I love visiting Walt Disney World during the Fall. The weather is slightly cooler, but more importantly, the International Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT is in full swing! Now, let’s talk about getting those waitlists fulfilled for a Disney Vacation Club villa!

    Generally, you’ll have a better chance of having a waitlist fulfilled for resort view deluxe studio at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa as compared to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas (either Kidani Village or Jambo House). This is because there are more studios at Saratoga Springs, so the likelihood that a cancellation may occur at that DVC Resort. 

    However, just so that you’re aware, you can only put in a maximum of 2 waitlist requests per Membership per Use Year, so you won’t be able to have 3 simultaneous waitlist requests for deluxe studio villas. But don’t fret! You can put in a third waitlist as soon as one gets fulfilled. Alternatively, you could consider another room type, like a 2 bedroom villa and a deluxe studio. Those two villas have the same maximum occupancy as 3 separate deluxe studios.

    Mary, I hope this clears things up for you and hope that your waitlists get fulfilled! If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!

    Your pal,

    Sean
