No yukking someone else’s Yum

I don't think it's yucking someone's yum to have negative opinions about hotels though. I think some people maybe take it too personally if others don't love their chosen resorts as much as they do. For me, I don't mind. I love BRV but know it's not everyone's cup of tea. And that's okay. I may joke and say they are nuts for not loving it, but I don't really mean that.

I think VGF is one where staying there will give you an experience that just seeing videos or stopping by and checking out the lobby can never give you.

BUT it’s for not everyone…. and that’s OK. Your love is Wilderness Lodge…. for other people it’s Animal Kingdom Lodge….. for others it’s Riveria or Poly….

That’s what’s wonderful about the program, you can have some variety and find out what you love, what you like, and what you don’t need to try again.

Yeah...I love that there are so many different options for all different preferences. I do hope to try out other resorts someday. I still get too excited to stay at my home resorts though so I'm not quite ready to try others just yet.

Hahahaha, more BPK for me!

3.5 would be AMAZING because (IMO) the worst part of every Disney cruise is having to drag ourselves out of the stateroom by 8AM. I’m tired just thinking about it!

We own VGF but use it as SAP for now. Really like the resort but we are EPCOT people and AK is our second favorite, so spending extra points on the monorail loop doesn’t make a lot of sense. I have big plans for using our points at their home after the new lands (minilands?) come open at MK…is cars slated for 2027?

We have never stayed at WDW more than 5 nights and I am ALWAYS exhausted and sore by the time we leave. I told myself that if I went more frequently and stayed longer, I wouldn’t be so much of a park warrior, but I really can’t spend more than an hour or two a day awake in the room.

I own BCV and LOVE it…but BCV and BWV are basically the same resort to me, unless you get unlucky and wind up in a BWV room that is a mile from the boat dock. Curious how you can feel so differently about the two.

Yeah....we do 6 parks days at WDW. But it was really more like 5 and a half last time. One day we decided to sleep in and just relax (and do laundry) the first part of the day. It was a really nice day and I think we'll plan for that again on future trips too. My RA-riddled body definitely struggles...especially on Epcot days (which is, of course, my favorite park.) But our daily hotel break seems to help.

BWV has a garbage pool is the main one. The food options are not great either.

The whole BCV vibe is much better.

Um…. Flying Fish? Cake Bake Shop?

For the kids: Pizza Window and Boardwalk Ice Cream?

Abracadabrar? Coffee bar?

Just had the corned beef reuben and it was one of the best and largest sandwiches I've had in a long time.

 

[atthebeachclub]

Well, maybe to civilization's pets, anyway...

Hey, zoonotic diseases are a thing! If the animals are sick, the humans may also get sick! So thank you for helping them and us stay well.

BW Deli has the best plant based breakfast on property according to various vegan groups. It is pretty good.

I love a good reuben…. my interest is peaked…..

 

[pks_domer]

and as a family we want to accomplish trying all of the resorts.

Same! Or at least I do, I'm not sure how much the wife/kids actually care about it.

Is the glorious Riviera signature cookie vegan?

My husband doesn't have a set amount of days he's allowed to take off. They basically just let him use his discretion and take off when he wants. This can be good and bad, I think.

At his former company, he would end up having to use a bunch of days for "staycations" at the end of the year because otherwise they would get lost.

Now, I just remind him to take random days here and there. And then we have been taking 1-2 vacations a year for a week or so.

My DD worked for Parmount and they did the unlimited PTO. It was very flexible and just unwritten it didn’t get abused.

She did several trips overseas because of it! One plus for the company is they don’t have to pay it out when someone leaves!

I worked with teachers who would also do long summer vacations instead of traveling during breaks!!

 

[disneydreamer1980]

My nephews an engineer at a company with unlimited leave and he said everyone’s scared to take leave because they don’t want to be seen as abusing it.

This is going to be fun and interesting!!

Curious how you can feel so differently about the two.

The view, for starters.
