Hi Analese!
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. How exciting that you'll be arriving at the Walt Disney World Resort in late November –– the holidays are my favorite time to visit!
Deluxe Villas are the perfect option for Guests traveling with a large party –– with fully-equipped kitchens, an in-room washer and dryer, and separate sleeping areas, they provide a little extra magic for your home-away-from-home. For your party, I would suggest booking either a 2-Bedroom or 3-Bedroom Villa for your stay. While many of the 2-Bedroom Villas sleep nine Guests, they can accommodate an additional infant under age three in a pack n' play or shared sleeping space. If you're looking for even more elbow room, the 3-Bedroom Grand Villas sleep up to 12 Guests.
You can find availability and book your upcoming stay directly from the
Walt Disney World website. To find available rooms, hover over the "Places to Stay" tab and select "Deluxe Villas" from the drop-down menu. On the next page, you'll need to input your dates and the number of Guests in your traveling party and hit "Find Resorts" to see Resort availability (I also suggest checking to make sure "Deluxe Villa" is checked under the "Resort Category" filter to make sure you're getting the most accurate results). From there, you'll be able to select the best Resort and room type for your party –– you'll also have the option to book your reservation as a room and ticket package if that works best for you.
During your stay, you'll be able to experience my favorite EPCOT festival ––
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. I love sampling snacks from all the
Holiday Kitchens and watching talented performs bring the story of Christmas to during
Candlelight Processional. And you definitely won't want to miss my favorite activity –– the
Holiday Cookie Stroll. All you'll need to do is grab a Festival Passport and get a stamp when you purchase a cookie from each of the five official Holiday Cookie Stop locations. Once your quest is complete, you can present your Festival Passport to receive a sweet surprise!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Analese. No matter which Resort you choose, I'm sure you and your family will be enjoying a magical vacation this holiday season!
See Ya Real Soon,
Amy
