Frog Family Tips
Request a dual bathroom entry and near elevator, if these are important to you
Request a villa near the pool on an upper floor for less potential noise (Miller's Road area)
Consider renting a car for a stay here, especially if your building is further from the pool and dining
Stop by Olivia's Cafe to see family photos from all of the Disney Vacation Club members
Best For
Families, especially larger families wanting longer stays, who seek all the amenities of a Deluxe Villa Resort at the best price and appreciate the island life
*The views and opinions expressed here are those of Undercover
Tourist.
The flavor of the Florida Keys and the imagination of Disney create a friendly setting filled with tropical plants, lazy palms and a kaleidoscope of color. Studios and one-, two-, or three-bedroom villas provide the perfect place for an enchanted vacation. Spacious living areas, private balconies and beautiful views are everything you need to feel right at home.
