DVC Detectives,

I bought this magnet recently and love it. But it's also driving me crazy! I can't figure out which resort each little icon/logo represents.

First, I tried googling resort logos online and couldn't find anything helpful. If someone has a helpful link, let me know!

Second, I uploaded it to an AI chatbot and asked it to help me. It was hilariously wrong- I think it got only 2-3 correct. It misinterpreted several images, thought Coronado Springs was a DVC resort, said "Boardwalk Inn," didn't split up Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge, things like that...

Finally, I used a spreadsheet and tried to sort it out myself (starting with the top left flower and going clockwise):

IconResort GuessNotes
FlowerPolynesianSeems Polynesian-y... and the other flower is a hibiscus so I don't think it's Aulani.
Paint PaletteUpdate: Villas at the Disneyland HotelUpdate: Confirmed it's not a Golf Club, Sea Shell, the Ocarina of Time, or a Warped monorail. Source. Also thanks to tjkraz.
Circus TentBoardwalkI don't immediately think of a circus tent for BWV but I think this fits.
BearCopper Creek [Update: VGC is new guess]...or Boulder Ridge? Or Wilderness Lodge collectively? If so, that would make space for VGC. [Update: seems more likely it's VGC]
SailboatOld Key West?Are sailboats a big thing in Key West? Never been there.
FireCabins at FWUnless CFW is too new for this magnet, I think this fits.
HorseSaratoga SpringsNo brainer... right?
TurtleVero BeachI've heard they have turtles there. Hope to see them some day.
ChimneyBoulder Ridge [Update: Wilderness Lodge as a whole]...or Copper Creek? I haven't stayed at either WL resort yet but this is my best guess. Or if the bear is for both BRV and CCV, then this could be the fireplace at VGC?
Beach ChairBay Lake TowerDarn, this could be Vero or HH or Beach Club... but I already placed those! BLT has a beach, so... plugged it here. Could it be it the nice chairs at VGC?
Tower / TurretGrand FloridianI think this is the GF architecture style.
Other FlowerAulaniHibiscus = Hawaii?
ZebraAnimal Kingdom - KidaniFeel good about this one, unless it's Jambo.
GiraffeAnimal Kingdom - JamboFeel good about this one, unless it's Kidani.
TowerRivieraNo brainer.
LighthouseHilton Head IslandIs this the famous HH lighthouse? It's several miles away but I'm going with it. I think there's a lighthouse at BCV, but I have that pegged for the beach ball.
Beach BallBeach ClubLots of beach themed icons make this difficult, but the sand here makes me pick BCV.

Problems with my guesses:
  1. One icon has no guess!
  2. No Grand Californian?!
  3. No Villas at the Disneyland Hotel?!
[Update: #1 and #3 were resolved. Some theories about VGC added to the table above, but leaning towards that being the bear. Also new theory that WL is combined. But it's strange CCV and BRV are combined but AKV is split... but who said DVC ever needed to make total sense?]

So how'd I do? Where'd I go wrong? PLEASE HELP!

As for the 3 wilderness ones, I'd link the campfire to Fort Wilderness. That leaves the bear and the chimney for Wilderness Lodge and Grand Californian. Personally I'd go with bear = GC and chimney = WL.

I don't know if there's any "official" answer, or a consensus after debating.
 
Is this new enough to have VDH on it?

I think the bear is VGC. I think Fire is Ft Wilderness.

I guess I will add why. Last week at VGC the gift shop had merch with a Bear on it and my 9 year old was super confused as to why, thinking it was Brother Bear. I had to explain the theming of the resort to him.
 
The problem with the lighthouse being the Hilton Head one is that the Lighthouse at HHI has horizontal stripes, not the slanted ones like in the picture. However, if you change that (OKW has a lighthouse-maybe that's it?) HHI doesn't have any logo representing them. The beach chaise lounge with the umbrella for some reason may be Hilton Head.

I think it is, they just had their 1 year anniversary and that link I shared corroborates it matching the palette. For the bear, I could see that. My kids thought the bears in the gift shop were the country bears, but I explained that's WDW (ignoring the statue at DCA) and said they were probably the grizzly bear from the DCA ride. Hadn't thought about the Brother Bear connection also from Redwood Creek. That would leave the chimney for both WL resort. I think that works.

Grand Californian would be the Bear ;) it's the State flag etc.
