DVC Stereotypes: What is every resort 'known' for?

[brightmango]

Random shower thought: What is the first thing that comes to mind for every DVC resort?

I’m curious to compare the vibes and stereotypes held by owners vs. non-owners. For example, when I think Bay Lake Tower, I instantly think "Walk to Magic Kingdom."

What are your immediate associations for the others, POSITIVE or NEGATIVE? State whether you own there or not. Let's hear them!

I feel like OKW tends to get a not so favorable rep. I haven't stayed there but my several DISer friends that have DVC really enjoy it, the rep as I understand it helps the availability be better.

I think people don't think as highly on Riviera and while I haven't stayed there I have gone there via the Skyliner. I find it to be calm but I think people were hoping for more Disney-fied decor/design.

Thanks for posting this thought. Neat idea.

We own at BLT and you're correct. Easy walk to Magic Kingdom. Another BLT stereotype is watching fireworks from your room and if you prefer in your PJ's.

Wilderness Lodge - Bear Face

First thought for if Yacht Club ever made it into DVC? Somebody rolling down their yacht window and saying, “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?”

Boardwalk - Walk to Epcot, DHS, 5 other resorts, Skyliner to 3 more. My Home resort.
Boulder Ridge - National park lodges
Saratoga Springs - Disney Springs access
Old Key West - (I thought I'd be the first to say it, but already someone beat me to it) Jimmy Buffet
Cabins at Fort Wilderness - golf carts and cookouts (my family always stayed at the cabins long before DVC, so it was family tradition - cooking on the BBQ grills and rolling around the grounds on golf carts).

Those are the ones I stay at most often.
