DVC 2 Bedroom Villa
Trying to do some planning ahead for a Disney trip in summer 2023.
Travelling will be me, DH, DD, her BF, DS, and his GF. My DS and GF want to stay at Art if Animation, but the other 4 of us are considering trying to rent DVC points for a 2 bedroom villa for about 10/11 days. The resorts we are looking at are Beach Club, Bay Lake Tower, Grand Floridian, and Saratoga Springs, any recommendations for the best resort to pick? And which resort we are likely to get best availability at? Also, could I put my DS and GF on our reservation as well as then being registered at Art of Animation so they could come and hang out with us at the resort pools? Thanks for any help |

Saratoga springs will be significantly cheaper than the others. Take a look here to get an idea dvcrequest/dvc-guests/cost-calculator
I would go beach club personally just for location. |

Thank you that link is very helpful.
Cost is of course important, but will not be the main deciding factor. I’m also drawn to the Beach Club for location, but I’m thinking Saratoga Springs would be could for proximity to Disney Springs in the evenings. Lots of decisions to make |

Saratoga will have best availability as it's the biggest resort. Pool wise, officially yes as only resort guests are allowed to use the pool & pool hopping is a no, even DVC owners have certain pools that they cannot use. As far as registered in your room, I'm sure that you can't be registered in 2 rooms so not sure, pool at SSR wouldn't be an issue as they are wide open.
As to the best, depends what you want & ages of DS/DD etc Bc is great but not so much if they are under 21 IYKWIM. Although not as "impressive" I think SSR has the ideal location, if being near the parks isn't important, that ability to just walk 5 mins to Disney springs can't be over stated IMO SD

I'd put two extra guests on your 2 bed reservation but under different first names. Don't bother with MDE profiles for them or anything and just get keys for 'john & jane smith' at check in so they can access the pool without complicating their existing AoA reservation.

If you book with them that is what you pay. I've used them twice and had no problems. Just be a ware that you can't get a refund if you cancel so make sure you have insurance.
