DVC Resort Academy Awards – Category: Best TS Dining Options

[Mr_Potts]

I'm surprised VWL isn't getting more votes with one of the best restaurants on property right there: Artist Point.

 

[DVC Mike]

I would say my top three choices would be:

1) BLT
2) BCV
3) BWV

I voted BLT because of not only having California Grill and The Wave, but because of the easily accessible TS restaurants at the Poly and GF via the monorail.

Same for BCV and BWV. They have Yachtsman and Flying Fish, but you have the restaurants at the Swan/Dolphin as well as inside Epcot.

While VGC has Napa Rose (a fantastic restaurant), and a few others in DTD, the TS options at DLR just aren't as good as WDW.

AKV has great onsite options, but that's all. VWL has just one. SSR has just one. OKW is the weakest with just Olivia's.

 

[BEASLYBOO]

BCT/BWV for all of Epcot, DHS, Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club restaurants
I only picked 2, MK is the park we attend the least, so we don't really eat there.

I voted for BLT because I love The Wave, and CM breakfast. But I'm going to try Jiko next trip so that may change, lol!

 

[Mlissa88]

Love BWV and BC

 

[Anal Annie]

Has to be AKV...can you say Boma, Boma, Boma!?!?!

(And yes, we prefer Boma over Jiko...I think $ for $ it's a better deal with equal quality. Have not had the chance to try Sanaa yet...)

I agree with you about Boma! We tried Jiko during our trip last week - maybe I had an inflated idea of what it would be like. It was good and I'm glad we went but we're in no hurry to go back.

I voted for the following three: AKV, BLT, BWV.

 

[DisneyDreamers2007]

I voted for
1-AKV: Boma, Mara & Jiko

2-GCV: Would have taken 1st place if it were based on dining places within short walking distance, as opposed to only those within the resort itself. But inside of the hotel though I do like Napa Rose & Storytellers. The DTD restaurants right outside the hotel (ESPN Zone, Ralph Brennan & House of Blues) are awesome, and restaurants from both parks are so close by too.

3-VWL: Whispering Canyon Cafe (because this is my DH's favorite restaurant in WDW!)

 

[DVCJones]

I voted VWL because both restaurants are really good here and there quick service area is nice too. I like that you can get fresh salads and sandwiches poolside. The QS also had a great breakfast.

I chose SSR. Access to all the wonderful dining options at DTD. In addition, the Turf Club at SSR is a hidden gem!

 

[XGrumpy1]

VWL hands down for me. Love the Salmon!

 

[DVC Mike]

The votes so far:

1) AKV – 33.51%
2) BWV – 27.32%
3) BLT – 25.77%
4) BCV – 23.20%
5) VWL – 13.92%
6) SSR – 7.73%
7) VGC – 3.09%
8) OKW – 2.06%

I'm a bit surprised at AKV's leading the pack, especially since there are just 3 TS available. Yes, they are all great, but still, you have to jump on a bus or car for other options.

I had thought that #2-4 would be the leaders.

Grand Californian has quantity and quality when combined with DTD which it overlooks.
