You might try the villas at OKW, BWV,or WLV. You may also be able to book at BCV depending on whne the trip is. There are studios that sleep 4 with small refrigerators and a microwave, 1 bedrooms that sleep 4 with full kitchen and laundry facilities and 2 bedrooms that sleep 8 and also have a full kitchen and laundry facilities. OKW also has Grand Villas that sleep 12 and I believe that BWV has some Grand Villas but I'm not positive (don't have my member guide book handy). You can try the DVC rent trade boards. There are always members listing points for rent. They are usually $10 dollars a point but can occassionally be found for less.

I meant to add to the earlier post....

I am a new DVC member and taking my first trip on points this June. There will be 10 of us, was originally going to be 12 but 2 can't make it. We are staying in a 2 bedroom and a studio. That way we are close together, have use of the kitchen and laundry facilities, but can still get some privacy too. Hope this helps.

Depends on several things....

Do you want seperate rooms?

What are the individual family sizes?

What kind of budget are we talking about?

We have traveled with a group of 12 family members and we usually do three seperate rooms with 4 in each room. One of the families is too large for one room, so we each take an extra kid in our rooms to even out the room capacity. Then you can pick any resort that suits your budget.

Another option is one of the Disney Vacation Club resorts (Boardwalk and Old Key West have 3 BR units which sleep 12). The BW ones are hard to come by but you might have luck getting one at OKW. You could also do a 2 BR and a studio - might be cheaper this way.
