Savanna View means, well you getting a direct view of the Savannas from your room. Standard means you're not going to be getting a Savanna View (well mostly.I've had some pretty fantastic, but no direct views of Pembe Savanna in a Standard room at AKV - Kidani Village before).

It's the luck of the draw which one you'll get. Value is a smaller size Villa (3 feet shorter in width throughout the Villa) which provides either a standard view or a savanna view. It takes a little digging to even find out what most of these category even mean.

Now why did I saw picking the Room Category your most likely to want year-after-year is a little complicated? Well, for a couple of reasons:ġ. The key is at the top of each resort chart. So for Animal Kingdom Villas we have four Room Categories: Value (V), Standard (S), SavannaView (SV), and Kilimanjaro Club Concierge (C). See those letters underneath each of the Room Types? Sure you do. First, look along the 'Adventure Season' row. Now this is where things get a little trickier in terms of planning. So I'm going to 'cost out' points for a 2 bedroom when looking at the resorts I'm interested in. Even if it's just my son and I traveling we'll go for a 1 bedroom rather than the studio. We will stay in a 1 bedroom if it's the only was we'll be able to stay for two weeks.

We want space, privacy, a full kitchen, a washer/dryer, and absolutely everyone wants an actual bed to sleep in. We are three adults and one teen (who's actually the largest person in the group). Here's why: our family of four is non-traditional. We actually almost always get a Two Bedroom. Looking at the room types, you may think we would go for the Studio accommodations. For us we normally have a party of four traveling. Here's where you decide how many people you'll normally be treating to DVC vacations and what your space, room amenity and privacy requirements will be. Those are the Room Types available at each resort. Take a look at the blue columns next to the year. IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all resorts have the same points cost for each season so you definitely need to evaluate each. Based on this I know I need to be looking at points in Adventure Season and Magic Season for all of the resorts I'm interest in. We vacation at WDW twice a year (which is only possible for us thanks to DVC, by the way): once at the end of September/beginning of October and once at the end of February/beginning of March.

We are tied to the yearly software development cycle at my job though, so that's what currently drives out vacation planning. Now we are homeschoolers so we are not tied to a school schedule. I'm going to use my family as an example just to get you started. The first thing you'll need to decide is which season you'll most likely be traveling in most of the time. This is because school holidays tend to shift a bit from year-to-year. These dates will change a bit from year-to-year for some of the seasons. You'll notice these are broken down into 'seasons' with the least points expensive season at the very top and the most expensive being at the bottom. Take a look at the dates to the far left of this chart. Let's break the information on this chart down:
