Our home resort is BWV and I would say this is my favorite. I like the convenience to Epcot and MGM and the theming is great. We have also stayed at VWL, BCV and HH. We have always enjoyed our stays at the WL and, therefore, enjoyed staying at VWL and would go again. My husband and I stayed at BCV last September for our 25th wedding anniversary and enjoyed it there...we would probably try it again and take our 2 children with us so they can experience the fun at BCV. As far as HH goes, we were disappointed and will not go there again. It didn't seem like "Disney" to us. We would love to go to VB and am hoping to go there sometime in the near future.

I have great difficulty deciding now, just as I also do when it comes time to book a vacation! Decisions, decisions, and not a bad one in the bunch, lucky for us!


I think "best resort" depends on ages, stages, lifestyle... so many factors! Fortunately, there are enough resorts to accomodate nearly every preference.

We own at BWV, but to be honest, could never tear ourselves away from OKW for the longest time. We feared that with BWV (and 3 very very young children) the noise would deter from a good night's rest. (Plus, we always get a 2BR and bring more family along, so the extra space and 2 queen beds is nice!) HOWEVER -- once we saw VWL, DH and I looked at each other and said, "we GOTTA try THIS!" We booked a 9 day stay and LOVED IT. It was August and hotter than you know what, but VWL kept us "cool" at heart. And when the afternoon rains would come and I'd be nestled in our 2BR overlooking the bay, forest and pool as our 2 yr old napped, I felt like I was being treated to a secret retreat that the rest of my crew (still off at the parks) were missing! Our 2 br @ VWL had enough space for our 5 plus my BIL, SIL and their 3 yr old. And the pool had a modest slide, readily navigateable (if that's a word) by our 2 eldest sons, ages 6 and 7.

THat being said, OKW is now probably off our "play-list" for awhile. My eldest thrill-seeker now says its pools are "lame" (the no-slide issue!) Plus, while I'm sure we'll still visit MK, the family overall preference is decidedly Epcot and MGM. Obviously, we'll have to break free yet again and try our home resort or BCV on this next trip!

As soon as the lodge comes into view, we start to feel the magic.

I would have to say OKW. It's actually the only one we've stayed in since '94! (about 16 times now). With two young kids the size is a real plus! We always refer to it as our "Disney Home" and have brought many family members with us. We have visited the others and they also seem wonderful but we always end up back at OKW for the space.

BWV are GREAT!!!

The location are the best thing for any parent with very young children. You can walk, boat and even monorail to any part of DDW.
