Hi Kecia,
I turned to my 11 year old son to get his insight into the villas he thinks fellow 11 year olds would like, so here are our thoughts:
Our first idea is
Bay Lake Tower, the newest villa located right next to the Magic Kingdom (you can walk there) with its modern flair and sister resort, The Contemporary, which has the monorail running right through it, certainly has the cool factor.
If an amazing pool will dazzle your son, hands-down the
Beach Club villas are incredible with the resort's pool called Stormalong Bay, which is nearly a water park in and of itself. You can also walk to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios from this resort.
Our other thought is Disney Animal Kingdom Resort (both
Jambo House and
Kidani Village). How often can you stay with zebras and giraffes right outside your balcony?
I hope this helps to give you some ideas with planning your first trip to WDW. Such a great surprise for your son! If I can help with anymore questions, please let me know by clicking
