Best Saratoga Standard 1 Bedroom Villa location?

[cbyrne1174]

I got super lucky and scored an RCI booking for 105,000 points ($502 + exchange fees) and have no clue where to stay within the resort. It's in Jan (MLK holiday) and I'm trying to get pregnant again soon and don't want to waste the money on an AP so am avoiding the parks (I live an hour away). I made the booking because SS is the resort I will buy at (resale) if I end up buying DVC for Disney weekends. I'm sampling the product first! Where is the best place to stay if you want a quiet/relaxing staycation when it's too cold to swim?

Note: I own Wyndham resale and am already accustomed to being on Disney property whenever I feel like it for dirt cheap.

Grandstand is a great location. Westside walkway to DS. Quick walk to main bldgs.

Paddock or Grandstand. If you buy DVC Saratoga points, you can stay at other DVC resorts and not be limited to just Saratoga like most RCI exchanges tend to be.

We own DVC points at Beach Club Villas and Saratoga. We also own Wyndham resale points. We recently booked the Polynesian with our Saratoga points for our grandkids and Animal Kingdom for friends during peak fall break - something I cannot do with just a Wyndham ownership.

We prefer the Paddock area with Grandstand as our second choice. Remember it is just a request and you are not guaranteed a specific area.
