AKV #1 DVC at WDW!!! (trip advisor)

[TenThousandVolts]

Hilton Head is the #1 hotel/resort in the HHI area
Vero is #2 in the Vero area
AKV is #8 in the Orlando area

In the chart below you see popularity (early May), pop2 (late May), pop3- (late July)

Ignore the double Boardwalk and Beach Club non DVC listings

So at WDW the DVC rankings go:
AKV
BWV
SSR
OKW
BCV
VWL

all based on trip advisor user satisfaction ratings (X stars out of 5)

I like Trip Advisor, but from experience checking it for hotels in a number of cities, it's necessary to take the user-provided rankings, which change frequently, with a very large grain of salt.

You know- I think the DVC's with attached hotels probably have their rankings mixed up with the hotel's rankings- meaning- if I stayed at VWL I might accidentally review the Wilderness Lodge (and vice versa). So, if you notice WL is #2 of the Disney resorts- and #13 out of about 300 Orlando hotels- I think that some of those ratings were probably meant for VWL.

It's only got 1 review!

And it's 8 of 10 in "specialty lodging", not 8 in all of Orlando. Still, I'm all for it.
