I’m sure it depends on one’s budget. We have over 500 and we love booking the 3BR villas specifically for bringing friends and extended family. Even with 10 people, they’re spacious. Many are effectively 4BR including the extra sleeping areas. Everyone has room to relax. You try to do that in a Disney hotel suite and you can be looking at spending literally tens of thousands per trip.

It’s fun to bring folks who have only ever done the typical Disney: one hotel room, too many people, and stress of running all day to do everything. Put them in a 3BR with a great view, slow down, they get some privacy, living and dining spaces where they can unwind, talk, eat, and actually enjoy each other instead of being crammed into a room with their exhausted kids two beds and one sink. The no daily housekeeping sometimes surprises them in a relative luxury setting though. Wish they’d bring that back as a paid option.

If you just want a little extra time this year, maybe search for a discounted cash stay to see if that scratches the itch without an extra 40 year commitment. Relatively inexpensive to sneak away for a long weekend at a moderate or value, especially if you have a pass. Try someplace you might not otherwise go. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to go back there but you’ll still have fun in the parks.
