Grilling at a DVC Resort

[Victoriapeluso]

Hi! Wondering which resorts allow grilling? We are staying at the Riviera this spring break and was wondering if we could grill out there one night- I know the GF has grills for DVC members....

Here is where we have grilled:

Cabins at FW (now DVC)
Treehouses at SSR

I don't see a grill on the Riviera resort map. That doesn't mean there isn't one, but I definitely would not count on it.

SSR has a grilling station at the Grandstand pool.

BRV/CCV have grills down near the cabins.

VDH has gas grills as well.

We used the BBQ at Boardwalk Villa years ago, it was a resort vacation so after hanging at the pool all day we used the BBQ

I wish that I knew definitively whether or not RR had grills. There seems to be some conflicting info on this. I was there in late January but never looked for them.
We have grilled at numerous resorts in the past. Off the top of my head, we've used grills at VWL, OKW, BCV, BWV, SSR, and THV.

@Sandisw reported elsewhere that there are not. If anyone would know, they would.

I know this is old but hoping you see this, we are staying at OKW next week and wondering about your experience grilling there?

I’ve never stayed at OKW so can’t help you there but last Christmas the on-site store only offered “match light” charcoal at BWV. So glad I brought my own with us though I suspect could’ve ordered from a local supermarket as well.

The grills at OKW are charcoal; so be prepared. The grills are located at the "quiet pools" (I believe they each have a grilling area, but have never stayed in the South Point section) and are definitely available at both the Miller's Road and Turtle Pond pools. Surprisingly, the grills are maintained pretty well, so they're not gross with some previous grillers scraps. When we grilled at Turtle Pond, there were a bunch of people in the pool and several commented on the smells from our meal cooking.
It helps if you bring foil to be a barrier on the grill top.
It also helps if you have "Pam" or some other cooking spray to use on the gill top or on the foil.
Steaks, burgers, chicken... it all works. We have a gas grill at home so cooking times had to be adjusted as we weren't used to real charcoal - though the smell was heavenly.
We've also grilled on Miller's Road at the quiet pool. Admittedly, that's going back several years, so the details aren't as clear...
