Hi
@Sarahz29, welcome to the WDWMagic forums!
I don't know if you've been lurking here or in other online forums, but just in case you're really new, I thought I'd post some basic information that a lot of people take for granted because you pick this info up if you hang around DVC online communities:
1. Using your points for hotels in the Disney Collection, Concierge Collection, or cruises is a bad deal. I've done it in the past before I knew better, but never since I found out that I could easily rent out my points and use the cash proceeds for a room/cruise instead.
2. I use between $14 and $17 a point as the "value" of a DVC point. So in your example for Animal Kingdom, you can think of a room as "costing" either the 11 points or $165 a night. Even during Magic Season, the 16 points per night is almost the same price as a room at a moderate resort, so you're better off using your points for an Animal Kingdom studio.
In conclusion, I think my recommendation would be to put your family up in AKV when you're staying there if you want to use your points to get them a room.
Please feel free to ask questions if what I said above isn't clear. Also, if you explain more what you're thinking you want to do, people can help with helping you achieve what you want to achieve!
