Believe it or not, we have been finding that the Vacation Club resorts may
be the best bet for suites/villas. Depending on the time period, you may
"rent" DVC points enough to get a 2 bedroom at OKW or BWV (120 points
at $10 per point) -- check the DVC board for more info. This would give
you one bedroom with a king size
bed and private two-person whirlpool, another bedroom with 2 queen size
beds, and a pull-out in the living room, plus a full kitchen with dishwasher
and the whole bit! We found that this would be less than getting 2 rooms
at a moderate (unless you're good at finding codes, etc.) and felt it would
be much more comfortable (and quieter) than a value resort (we really
don't want to go there).
I figure you can probably save quite a bit
on restaurant prices by grabbing a quick breakfast in the room most
days. Besides, our bunch will probably have times where all they really
want is a cheap pizza, and there we'll be able to do it!
It may not be the way to go for everybody, but I think it will work for
us. Good luck to your "gang."
