chEARs Laurie!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You have picked
two fantastic Resorts, and I know that we can find an option for your
party of nine!
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village is one of my home Resorts, and honestly, probably our most beloved Disney property! We love that the Resort is a bit set apart from all the excitement of Walt Disney World, and the
animals that call the Resort home are magnificent. We are headed there for a week-long vacation this Fall, and I can't wait! All of the
2-Bedroom Villas at the Resort sleep nine, and you can have the three separate beds you desire. They have a king-size bed, a queen-size bed, and two sleeper sofas (queen and double). They also have a single sleeper chair.
At
Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, you have a similar set-up. The 2-Bedroom Villas have a king bed, two queens, one queen sleeper sofa and a sleeper chair (so four double-occupancy beds). The 2-Bedroom Lock-Off Villas have the same configuration as the Villas at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village, but all still give you four two-person bed options.
Laurie, as you can see, you can fit all of you in one
Villa, it just depends on your desired location! We just returned from a
4th of July visit to Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort, and honestly, the
location is perfection! You are on the
Monorail, and steps away from
Magic Kingdom Park. Live animals versus Monorail is a hard decision!!
Good luck with your choice - you can't go wrong with either!
