Which Type of DVC Studio Is Best for You?
Among the DVC room types, studios are easily the most popular to book. DVC studios come in a few different varieties, including Deluxe Studios, Resort Studios, and Tower or Duo Studios. What are the differences among these studios, and which one is best for you and your travel party?
Deluxe Studio
Deluxe Studios are the most common studio type and found at most DVC resorts. There is a huge range when it comes to booking categories for Deluxe Studios. Some relate to location (e.g., Near Hospitality House at Old Key West or Preferred at Saratoga Springs), some refer to view (e.g., Preferred View, Theme Park View, Resort View, Savanna View, or Ocean View), and others refer to a special category (e.g., Value or Kilimanjaro Club Concierge at Jambo House).
