After 1st DL trip,I don't think DVC resort is a good idea....

.... at least IMO.

1) After having been to WDW several times I was disappointed in DL/DCA so I doubt very seriously I'd ever use pts to stay at any DL resort,including a DVC resort.

2) While I love going to WDW, I also love the entire resort atmosphere of International Dr, Kissimee,etc. When we stay at our DVC locations we spend many of our days outside WDW property.We have a car and travel is easy. At DL, forget exploring. We drove to Laguna beach-35 miles- took 90 minutes. On a Thursday evening,after 7:00 pm, we drove to Huntington beach,15-20 miles, took an hour.We drove to Universal in Hollywood,after morning rush hour,on a 5 lane hiway,35 miles,75 minutes.We had a convertible the entire trip and were too disgusted to use it.

3) Land wise,not a lot of options. We stayed at the DLH. Getting into DL wasn't too bad. But to get into DCA is a hike. A DVC resort would almost certainly need it's own shuttle service.

People on the west coast may think a DVC resort would be great and I'm sure some people love DL over WDW, but I don't ever see myself heading to DL.

I would like to see a small DVC property there, just because I know we head to the west coast every couple of years and I LOVE MY 2 BEDROOM Villas!

I do understand the traffic in Orange CO and LA county can be awful.... I lived there for many years....

I always say.......Here in Chicago we have stop and go traffic.... On the 101 or 5 freeway in LA they have.... Stop..... take out a book and read a couple of pages.... and go traffic....
