Top 10 things we learned from our first DVC trip (1st time home); no particular order:
1) VWL 2 bdrm lock-off 1st floor is QUIET and secluded. 3 back patios off of rooms are like a secluded forest-like backyard w/bunnies, birds, squirrels, geckos.
2) CS lunches still average $40 for a family of 4. A la carte dining proved to be more expensive than budgeted. Would do DDP next time for sure.
3) Spoodles was EXCELLENT food - portions HUGE - everything delicious
4) Kimono's was a disappointment especially since we love sushi- overpriced, small selection, mediocre quality/freshness - skip it
5) Kona Cafe serves bread w/butter that you can basically have as a meal - so delicious, it was all my DS3 would eat! DH had filet w/oscar - melted in his mouth
6) GF Cafe for lunch was an excellent surprise as far as food quality and service. Tomato Basil soup was served piping hot and salad was fresh. Portions average, but you felt comfortably satisfied after the meal.
7) Making daily breakfast at the villas for the family was relaxing and easy - so nice to have the conveniences of home available
8) Though boat ferry from VWL to Magic Kingdom was convenient, we will opt to stay at one of the Monorail resorts the next few years. We just love the speedy convenience to MK
9) Extended MK hours in the morning and evening SO worth it. DH felt like a kid again riding Splash Mountain 3 times at 1am - no lines!!!
10) DVC was the way to go for us - we were sad when we left and are already planning next year's trip...we're hooked!
