Disney Vacation Club Resorts

There are six Disney World resorts included in Disney Vacation Club.

Any guest can reserve a nightly room, just as a regular hotel room. Room choices range from studios (mini-suites with pull-out sofas and a tiny kitchens) to three-bedroom units with full kitchens. Some include washer/dryer units. Another plus: gift shops will typically carry basic grocery items like milk, cereal, and snacks.
