Luxury Accommodations On Disney Property Your Family Will Love

2. Suite specifics

Families and larger group gatherings that are vacationing together may also decide on one of Disney’s various Family Suites. Found at many Walt Disney World Resorts, including two Value Resorts (Disney’s All-Star Music and Disney’s Art of Animation) Family Suites offer extra space and home-away-from-home essentials and conveniences. These include one or more separate bedrooms, living room/gathering area, fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, more than one bathroom, and other extras that come with overall extra room and space.

Just remember, if you’re considering “suite-ening” a Disney vacation by opting for such accommodations, you’re in for plenty of perks as it is. But take note that not all suites are created equal. In fact, Disney offers some very out-of-this-world elite options among suites that are so top-notch, you can’t just find them listed on any booking website. They’re some of the most private, best-kept secret suite offerings and admittedly most high-end and pricey ones to boot. But if you have the means and the motive, you can’t go wrong with any of these.

--Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Presidential and Vice Presidential Suites: Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers a wide range of suites to pick and choose from, located in both the Garden Wing section of the resort as well as its newer Tower addition. While the suites in the Garden Wing tend to be mostly one-bedroom and hospitality suites, the Tower boasts both one- and two bedroom suites along with more elusive offerings, like Presidential and Vice Presidential suites. Both are divine picks beyond compare, and if money is no object, either one is the way to go. The Presidential Suite even spans 2,061 square feet! Both are located on the 14^th floor of the Bay Lake side and come with a wide range of elevating and exacting highlight features.

--Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Yellowstone Presidential Suite and Yosemite Vice Presidential Suite: Both these top-ranking picks are part of the resort’s Old Faithful Club Level offerings. With Yellowstone spanning a grand total of 1,000 square feet and Yosemite a little less at 885, these signature offerings may be considerably smaller than those at other resorts but still deliver on untamed tantalization the whole family can enjoy.

--Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

Grand Suite, Walt Disney Suite, Roy O. Disney Suite, and Victorian Suite: As one of Disney’s grandest hotels, you can expect only the greatest things from any suite you choose here. Even so, these four suite suggestions truly exemplify what it means to experience high-quality highlights at their finest. The Grand Suite spans an impressive 2,220 square feet in all (admittedly larger than some guests’ own homes!) and comes with stunning views and vantage points in addition to a wide range of impressive in-suite amenities.

The Walt Disney Suite, designed with the personal interests of Walt Disney himself in mind, spans a total of 1,690 square feet and boasts a plentiful resource of both home essentials as well as added perks and amenities. Directly underneath you’ll find the similar-sized Roy O. Disney Suite, featuring memorabilia and photos of Walt’s brother and family and also boasting a comparable array of attributes comparable to the aforementioned Walt Disney Suite. The Victorian Suite spans 1,083 square feet—admittedly smaller as far as Grand Floridian Signature Suites go but still packed profusely with an enticing array of amenities and perks.

--Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

King Kamehameha Suite, Ambassador Suite, and Princess Suite: While all of the Polynesian’s suites can be found within the Tonga Longhouse, just next to the resort’s Great Ceremonial House, these three signature options take suite staying to an all-time high, with Asian/island-inspired influences in décor and a boundless array of amenities both in-house and with what comes with being club level. The King Kamehameha has been rightly named, as it is the grand ruler as far as suites go, spanning two stories and totaling 1,863 square feet in all. Then there’s the stellar Ambassador Suite with 1,513 square feet to its credit. Another consideration is the Princess Suite at a total of 1,212 square feet.

--Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Royal Asante Presidential Suite, and Royal Kuba Vice Presidential Suite: In addition to some of the grandest grand villas around, Disney’s wildest resort is also home to some of the most spacious and untamed highlights in the way of premium resort suites. Two absolutely phenomenal suites to consider here are the Royal Asante Presidential Suite and the Royal Kuba Vice Presidential Suite. The first spans a jaw-dropping 2,115 square feet and features a vast array of in-room amenities, with authentic African artwork and hand-carved furnishings, a remote-controlled fireplace, Jacuzzi tub, and so many others we can’t begin to name them all. The second option, though slightly smaller at 1,619 square feet, is similar by way of perks, amenities, and décor. Both present guests with stunning VIP views overlooking the grasslands and abundant resident animal life.

--Disney’s Beach Club Resort

Presidential Newport Suite: While Disney’s Beach Club features both the Presidential Newport Suite and the Vice Presidential Nantucket Suite, only the first is suitable as a luxury accommodation fit to house a family or extended group. The latter is designed just for two and makes an excellent honeymoon/couples only consideration though. The Newport Suite, spans a stellar 2,200 square feet and comes with plenty of in-room notable features and attributes. It also happens to be located on the fifth floor along with the Club Level Concierge Lounge.

--Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Captain’s Deck Suite, Presidential Suite, and Admiral Suite: If you’re staying next door at the Beach Club’s stately sister then the Captain’s Deck takes the prize for being the largest suite, at a stunning 2,374 square feet in all. The resort’s Presidential and Admiral Suites, located on floors four and five of the resort are also worthy contenders in luxury and space, at 2,017 square feet and boasting optimal views of the surrounding resort and nearby Disney action.

--Disney’s Boardwalk Inn Resort

Garden Cottage Suites, Presidential Steeplechase Suite, and Vice Presidential Sonora: Located in the hustle and bustle of Disney’s social scene, it should come as no surprise that a stay at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn tops the list for many. And if you have the means to up your family’s resort stay then these three suggestions may be just for you. First there are the lesser-known secret gem suites to be uncovered at the resort’s Garden Cottages section.

Totaling 14 suites in all, these two-story home-like options were originally intended to be honeymoon accommodations. But many smaller families have utilized the luxury that comes with staying here over the years, including separate entry ways (in most units), fenced yards, and that overall home-away-from-home appeal. The Presidential Steeplechase Suite spans an impressive 2,170 square feet of Victorian-style grace and splendor while providing guests with a magnitude of the modern conveniences and first-rate amenities. Likewise, the Vice Presidential Sonora Suite delivers a premium package of its own at 1,744 square feet.

1. Cinderella Castle Suite

Undeniably the sweetest suite stay of them all is none other than one within the walls of Cinderella Castle. That’s right, it’s the Cinderella Castle Suite! An admittedly unobtainable option for the majority of Disney World visitors, no amount of money can guarantee you a stay here. Only the most unique exceptions, like winning a promotional contest or some other similar endeavor will ever present the almost impossible opportunity for you and your family to stay a night here. In fact, it was during the Year of a Million Dreams promo that ran back in 2006 through 2008 that the Cinderella Castle Suite first emerged into the public’s eye. Original designs on this space were intended as a private apartment area for Walt Disney and family while visiting Disney World Resort.

But when Walt died prior to Disney World’s opening the space was used for various other behind-the-scenes functions, including telephone operations and serving as a utility storage sector. Later on, through Imagineering handiwork, and Fairy Godmother magic, a Cinderella-like transformation was able to take place, converting this castle dwelling into the ultimate enchanted suite that’s even able to sleep up to six lucky guests at a time.

From real gold accents to Cinderella’s treasured personal relics, an enchanted mirror television to bubble baths under a starry night sky, staying in Cinderella Castle Suite is hands-down the most exclusive and fabled luxury stay you could ever dream up. And while staying here is very improbable to plan for, there are occasional tours available. So be on alert when these are offered, for given the esoteric nature of accessing such an establishment, this is perhaps the next best thing.

In addition to the premium highlights we’ve covered here, you should remember that there are a whole host of other optimal options to consider. From other suites and villas to even preferred rooms, everyone’s own idea of luxury is a little different. So don’t feel bad if you don’t have the means to maximize, because every Disney accommodation is a magical one. All the same, you can always keep the motivation for such dreams alive within, because after all, a dream is a wish your heart makes!
