Which 2 Bedrooms are the hardest to book?
The second scarest room type are Two-Bedroom Villas due to lock-off link to studios. This is particularly true for the most popular units. Specifically, there are only five Kilimanjaro Club rooms and 18 value units at Animal Kingdom Villa. The club rooms are the exclusive concierge-level rooms in DVC, while the value rooms are the most affordable Two-Bedroom units. Both types of rooms are highly sought after for their unique DVC experiences. Given their popularity, it is unlikely that they will be available when the seven-month booking window opens, as owners at Animal Kingdom tend to reserve them quickly.
Two-Bedroom Lock-Off Vs. Dedicated Availability
When it comes to two-bedroom units, there are two types to consider: dedicated villas and lock-off units. Dedicated villas are specifically designed for a two-bedroom setup, while lock-off units consist of a connecting studio and a one-bedroom villa. Typically, lock-off units are harder to book compared to dedicated units. Interestingly, out of the top 20 most difficult rooms to book, *17 are lock-off units. This is likely due to the fact that both the Studio and the One-Bedroom Villa need to be available for the lock-off setup, and Studios are in high demand and get booked up quickly.
According to the data, the availability of Studios is almost always the same as the total availability of Two-Bedroom Lock-Offs. In almost every case, the dedicated unit is more readily available than the lock-off unit. This is an important factor to consider when waiting to make a reservation, as you are more likely to secure a dedicated unit than a lock-off unit.
