Hi Mark! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear that you're planning a trip to the
Walt Disney World Resort next year! With countless options of which Disney Resort hotels to stay in, you'll have a lot to consider when making your decision. Let's jump right into your question and discuss some of the various choices you have to stay at Walt Disney World!
With bookings available for most of 2026, Guests have begun planning their trips for next year. One of your options is to stay at one of the
Deluxe Villas, which have a slightly different room type than most Disney Resort hotel rooms. The Deluxe Studios typically come equipped with a small kitchenette, while the larger room types will include a full kitchen and separate living and dining areas.
When attempting to book these types of rooms, availability is not always as widespread as some others. Deluxe Villas are part of the
Disney Vacation Club, and a majority of the rooms are designated for these members. A small number of room types are available to Guests booking on the Walt Disney World website, although it will vary based on the resort and time of year. Also, Disney Vacation Club members are only allowed to begin booking their resort rooms 11 months in advance. With your stay still a year away, inventory for these resorts will be quite limited. I suggest checking back in a few months when more rooms should become available across a variety of Deluxe Villas.
Mark, one of my favorite Deluxe Villas on-site is
Disney's Riviera Resort. This stunning property has incredible amenities and recreation options, but also has some of the best dining options around. Between
Primo Piatto and
Bar Riva, you have a couple of fantastic choices that do not require a reservation. My family will travel here just for the delicious food options, even when we are staying elsewhere.
I hope this information helps you plan for your stay.
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
