Picking a resort for your Walt Disney World Vacation can be both one of the most fun and most stressful parts of your planning. With so many choices available you want to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your vacation dollars; for some families that means the convenience of having all the amenities of an Orlando Condo with a Disney Villa.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers Studios, One, Two, and Three Bedroom Villas at the Bay Lake Tower. Part of the Disney Vacation Club, the villas allow for families to stretch out a little and take their vacation at a different pace. With full kitchens, Disney’s villas allow you to save some money by cooking and storing meals just like if you were at home. With Bay Lake Tower located so close to the Magic Kingdom, it’s even easier to pop back to your hotel room for lunch or dinner.

Even if you don’t plan on having a car with you while you’re on vacation, having a villa to cook in can still be an option for you. You can order or pick up simple groceries from the Fantasia Market in the main resort hotel. My favorite grocery option is to use the online ordering form from Garden Grocer and have them deliver it to your room.
Cooking your own meals is a great way to save some money on vacation and with the Condo like facilities in Disney’s Villas it’s never been easier.
