This might be my favorite
What about DL makes you not want to go?
Is Boardwalk View that hard to get? I'm hoping to get a 2bd in Oct next year, but I'm fine with Pool if that's all I can get.I walked a reservation once.We REALLY wanted a Boardwalk view for the first time, we stalked it, it was available, and I did what I did. I'm not proud, but it's cathartic getting it off my chest!
You should definitely try DisneyIand some day. Just so you can say you have, I understand you may not be as nostalgic as most about the parks, & be more about the "vacation", but should still try the original even if you have to stay off property in a fat suite at the Westin.
Same as part 1 of this sentence. I had been several times due to grandparents living in Kissimmee, but we never stayed onsite. I did bring my twins in 2018, but rented a house to save money. We were supposed to stay at VGF in Sep 2020, but my kids school changed the calendar for that school year due that lovely little pandemic we had going on. Thankfully, DVC Rental Store has it's guarantee and I was able to reschedule for Jan 2021; so we finally got to stay deluxe with a few days at Kidani before heading over to BLT to use my new SSR points I picked up over the summer.
I completely understand why people wouldn't be interested in Hilton Head but personally it's one of my favorites. The cast members are on another level when it comes to customer service. Similar to WDW, some things have been removed/dumbed down after Covid but the resort is still wonderful. Plus you can explore other parts of the island outside of the resort.
(and no, I don't own there). 
I think the thing is that people don't want to spend DVC points on it, not that they wouldn't or don't like the resort.
Oh no I do own there, just haven't used my points there yet (I've had waitlists come thru for Pool view studio), so hopefully there is a decent chance at 11 months, but I agree it is the best, so even if not BW view, it'll be great!!Sorry to say it, but a 2BR lock off (the only option at BWV), no matter the view, is very difficult unless you have BWV points and are a fast/lucky clicker at 8am EST on the 11-month mark. There's just not a lot of inventory and the studios are in high demand by owners because they are relatively cheap.
1BRs are the easiest to snag at BWV. You can occasionally get a Boardwalk view at the 7-month mark for a few nights (like, right now, it looks like there is actually a week of availability starting on exactly the 7 month mark, but it'll be gone by next week for sure). Pool/Garden view is much more likely to be available within the 7-month window. I've never had a problem getting a 1BR, P/G view at or reasonably close to the 7-month mark, outside of the few high demand weeks.
This goes without surprise, though, as BWV is definitively the best Disney resort per every expert, ever
Enjoy your trip next fall!
I would lump that into "wouldn't be interested in Hilton Head" as well tbh. I do understand the reasoning, especially if you have nice beaches where you live but I really do love HHI. I was there last year and had a great time. It's definitely a laid back type of trip, so the complete opposite of WDW/DL.I think the thing is that people don't want to spend DVC points on it, not that they wouldn't or don't like the resort.
I think it could be an amazing vacation, but i couldn't imagine using my points for it, but maybe rent some points.
I dislike the theming of that resort so much.
OMG, now that is surprising...
I tells ya - during Covid I was tempted to retrieve my Owners Locker - it was full of good TP, Lysol spray and wipes, liquid soap and hand sanitizer!
