As per my previous comment, we suspect it is (for us) purely related to a specific village.
As long as we do not go near it we are fine, and have been able to play hours on end.

As far as I can tell, in that specific village, there are only two out of many villagers left and of those two one is trapped behind an fence - that is all I have been able to gather from multiple attempts running into the village from different angles before being DCed.

I have changed the path of the road to go far away and around the village, and my daughters cats will have to be on their own until this bug has been resolved.

No The End-game for us, so that seems to not be a key. Bedrock ed.

@Mega_Spud and @cuwaters
For us, the disconnect-issue seems to be very much related to one particular village.
As soon as one of us gets too close or into the village the disconnect occurs. 

As we are quite new to MC and Realms, we were happy to find a village that actually had villagers after a couple of weeks, so we happily created more (lots of) beds and fed the three villagers there were and lo and behold a few days later there were some 20-30 villagers staring us down wherever we went... A couple of friends of our daughters apparently had enough at one point and went on a killing spree (I claim no responsibility whatsoever) and there were all of a sudden only a few villagers left... Some time later there were scores of little villagers running around and it is after this incident I have started pinpointing the disconnect issue to be related to this particular village.

I cannot say for sure that this village has been the sole reason, as I do not have insight as to the whereabouts of the murderous friends of our daughters, but the past couple of days we have been disconnected as soon as one of us gets close to the village in question.

I will now look into how to download the realm, play locally and try and get rid of the village or atleast its inhabitants and upload the realm again afterwards.

Seems to be a staff-reply here: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/REALMS-6945?focusedCommentId=902988&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-902988

in short, it is realms-related and nothing done on user-side will remedy the issue. They are working on it.

Having the same issue as of yesterday evening and it persists today and it is impossible to play on our realm on PS4.

Will try to connect via Android and Windows 10 and see if the issue can be seen there as well.

@OcelotOnesie any updates on this would be appreciated. I will for the time being refrain from filing a new issue, as it will most likely only be duplicated to this and closed - by the look of things.

UPDATE: after one disconnect on my Android-tablet I was able to play for about 10-15 minutes on Android. At the same time my daughter was able to also play on the PS4 on the same realm. After those minutes we were both disconnected simultaneously and the progress had not been saved. Two friends also seem to disconnect at the same time (the are on Windows 10).

So the issue does seem to me to be regardless of platform, and also seems to be intermittent. Our internet connection is fine and I conclude the issue is on server-side.
