Walt Disney World Resort is home to three sets of villas that will put you in the middle of the action and within walking distance to the various Disney parks. Disney's BoardWalk Villas, Beach Club Villas and the Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are all located near the center of the resort, with the Magic Kingdom theme park to the north, Epcot to the east and Disney's Animal Kingdom Park to the west. You'll also be just a few blocks away from water parks, shopping and dining at the Downtown Disney area.
Disney's BoardWalk Villas, situated on the south shore of Crescent Lake, are within view of the carnival atmosphere along the boardwalk. Lodging options include studio units, as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom villas with spa tubs and satellite TVs with DVD players. The villas include kitchens with microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers and dining tables. Some rooms have private balconies, and Internet access is available for an additional cost. Dining options in the immediate area include four restaurants, a bakery and a pizza window. Look for value rates in January and throughout much of August and September at disneyworld.com.

The villas feature studio, one- and two-bedroom units with satellite TVs and DVD players, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers and private balconies with lake views. Internet access is available for an extra fee, and bathrooms have large spa tubs.
