⭐️Deluxe Studio vs Standard Room
💥Follower Question
In this post, I'll be covering the general differences between Deluxe Studio Rooms & Stanard Rooms at Deluxe resorts. (PSA: Rooms at Disney Resorts vary, so it's best to discuss specifically what would be ideal for your family when booking a resort/room).
1.Resort
Generally speaking, all Deluxe Studios are within the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) buildings. You do not need to be a DVC member to book these rooms, Disney allocates rooms for general bookings.
Standard Room are available at all non-DVC resorts.
2. Bathrooms
You will find some studios have a separate bathtub & shower & even two toliets!
Standard Rooms have a shower or shower/bath combo with a double sink & one toilet.
3. Kitchenettes
Studios will have kitchenettes. These typically include a coffee maker, microwave, toaster, small refrigerator (with freezer at times), plates/utensils, etc.
Standard Rooms, you will need to request a microwave if available. There is a beverage cooler - not a true refrigerator.
4. Price
These rooms can be priced either the same or you'll see a slight price increase for a studio.
5. BedType
Okay, so this is the most controversial issue when it comes to studios. A typical Studio will have a queen and a sofa sleeper. HOWEVER, Disney has been quietly renovating many of these studios with the desired comfortable Murphy bed. However, some studios have two true beds, like Old Key West and Resort Studios at Grand Floridan.
Standard Rooms will have two queens or one king if requested.
Which one to pick? That absolutely depends on your family needs and I'd be happy to talk you through it for your next booking!
