Favorite WDW resorts? (DVC)

[Chili327]

Surprised I couldn’t find a poll that had already been done, so here it goes, pick your top 3.

I merged the whole area of WL & CFW (you can only have 10 options)


Mods can move this to community board if needed, just seemed more appropriate in D.V.C section.

My favorite stay is a split of 4-5 nights at Beach Club then 4-5 nights at Grand Flo…unless it’s December - then it’s got to be WL/BRV ( CCV won’t do) - but I just bought Poly Tower so we’ll have to see where that fits in the list once I stay there.

Since we own at HHI, we play the 7 month game.
We have been lucky to stay at least one night at all WDW DVC resorts now.

This is an interesting poll to see which are the top 3!

I chose BCV, but tomorrow I may choose RIV. The next day maybe VGF or WL or AKL. Next week maybe Poly. I love the variety of DVC resorts. For us, split stays for the win!!

So AKV and SSR are in our top 3. Then we like the Epcot area resorts. I voted BCV since it said fave locations, however I do love RR. I would have selected RR except our recent stay we went to Epcot and the line to get on the skyliner back was super long. It wasn't even park closing. So we waited at Yacht Club for a while and then the line was even longer, like 30 mins after park closing. We ended up taking an Uber from BWV. This was 2 weeks ago. But we love Bar Riva and the cute rooms and the theme. We own most points at BWV but it's kind of outdated and tired to us. Even with renos. Same with BCV. But BWV is easiest to book and we can get best bang for buck with the standard view there (way less points than RR).

My standard trip these days is 2 weeks summer and 1 week in early December. For early December, akv is my default Christmas one. I really like the feel here and feel the Savanah is exponentially more enjoyable when it’s not 90F out haha. I could see wilderness lodge being similar Christmas vibes based on lunches there but I just haven’t stand there to vote it.

For summer I like doing a split stay between mk and Epcot area and my top so far has been one week boardwalk and one week poly. Both of these have nice “summer” feels to me where the 90F doesn’t feel out of place lol.

I'm glad that you specified "at WDW" because my favorite DVC isn't listed, DHHIR. But at WDW, it's BCV. AKV isn't far behind, but it sorely needs a refresh, then we'll see.

We Love AKL the Activities, Food, and views you really cant beat.

But since you lumped all of Wilderness lodge and Cabins at Fort wilderness I am going to have to go with that.

there is something about having your own cabin and the whole vibe at fort wilderness.

Yea WL/CFW may get an unfair advantage of more votes because of it, but I didn’t want to leave anything out.

At holiday time,.....any of the WL ones ( we own at BR)
The rest of the time OKW,.....love the space.

 

[Disney Spaz]

I listed VGF, CCV & PIT. We love VGF as it is where we own the majority of our points and is truly our home away from home. This is our summer home for our longer trips each year in a 1 bedroom. CCV is second for our annual Thanksgiving trip. It used to be in a studio but this past Thanksgiving we realized that we are no longer studio people and instead of doubling our CCV points we opted to buy into PIT so we can switch off every other year in a 1 bedroom between CCV and PIT. I keep saying PIT instead of Poly because for us the only option will be the Tower versus the longhouses.

 

[Skywalker3]

BWV-have to, it's home, but we really do love it. Location is the BEST
AKL- such a unique and wonderful resort, plus extra bathroom
hmmm, after our 1st WL stay this year, I think I"m going to have put CCV tied with Poly as the next one

 

[GrumpyInPhilly]

I voted for my home resorts. That's why I have points there.
Stayed at three of the others. Looking forward to my 1st stay at Poly (PIT) in April and hopefully AKV after that.

Just recently wrapped up my very first trip to WDW and have to say I really enjoyed SSR. Staff was great and not a single issue with the bus. Would happily stay there again with that glorious point chart.
Did lots of touring of resorts to see their vibe. RIV stole my heart, I cannot wait to stay there sometime. VGF under whelmed me. Thought for sure I’d love it.

Lots to love about Saratoga Springs.

I really can't fairly vote in the poll, as all but two of my trips over the last 30 years has been to OKW. One time I ventured to Poly, and don't get me wrong, the Poly studios were really nice with their fancy shower and all, but they just didn't feel like home. I also stayed in a one bedroom Savannah view at Kidani. The room itself was lovely, and the animals were awesome, but I was nearly at the very end of the LONG hallway, and was traveling with a person in a scooter. I won't stay there again. I do want to try to stay at BLT sometime, as before DVC, the original Contemporary Tower was our choice.

 

[Nabas]

Favorite? Whichever one I’m currently staying at, of course!

 

[theMoreDisneytheBetter]

My favorite place to stay depends on what we are up to. For MK - we love VGF but the theme park 2 BD with the extra bathroom at BLT was hard to beat. We are a BC family, but the food at Riviera is so much better and I dream about staying in their 3BD someday if we have a lot of family down. The most peaceful trip we ever had was the 3BD at WL, so maybe that would be my favorite? And there really is a lot to love about AKL.

 

[thanxfornoticin]

We've done almost all of them, and AKL is our favorite resort anywhere, not just WDW. Just so unique, great food options, and such a peaceful, relaxing feel for us. BC is our second favorite at WDW for the feel, location, and the pool!

 

[muppets3d]

So hard to pick 3. I picked the 3 I own points at, Riviera, Grand Floridian, and Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love every other resort I've stayed at though. And I've visited all of them. Not a bad choice in the bunch. However, if I could only choose one resort for the rest of my life, I would pick Animal Kingdom Lodge.
