VGF, no question. I loved it on our first trip there in 1994 and it has only gotten better since then with the new pool and beautiful walking path to the MK.

2. VGF was our second resort purchase - kids loved VGF, we celebrated some special milestones at Victoria & Albert's, I have fond memories of every stay here.My visits to WDW started in the early 80s when I was a child. The Contemporary was the “monorail hotel” to me because the monorail went inside. It was (and continues to be) too expensive for my family to stay there.
I rediscovered my love of Disney and found DVC thanks to Dis Unplugged in 2018. So, I bought DVC at the Contemporary (BLT) to fulfill MY Contemporary dream.
You see/experience the Contemporary from the TTC before even seeing the castle. So, as first impressions go, the Contemporary is pretty “Disney.”
As a fellow VGF and RVA owner who added on at VGC: its only the natural evolution of your membership. Don't fight it.DH doesn't have any interest in adding on, but now that we've stayed at VGC once and lucked out with Room 6504, I could see adding on there. Or maybe enough points to host extended family in a Riviera GV.
I changed my mind after spending last month at BRV and BLT, I think I'd go with BRV.If it's just me, I think I'd go with BLT. If it's allowed, I'd spend some of my points at VBR.
I’m kind of doing that. It’s just me and my 7 year old but I do a fair amount of solo trips when I have free time. I chose VGF. As an adult with no kids, it’s the perfect place for me.Much though I love the VGF, where DH and I own, I think I'd buy VWL or BRV as it's now called.
I love the Mountain West lodge atmosphere at WL. Love the peace and quiet at VWL as well.
I do not like the CCV floorplans so wouldn't buy there unless I could afford enough points for a CCV cabin. Oh, yeah!
We vacationed often in the Rockies and other Western U.S. ranges when I was a kid. I still love those gorgeous mountains and forests. And, I have fond memories of watching Old Faithful erupt. WL's geyser is a pretty nice representation of Old Faithful.
The only restaurant there that I enjoy is Geyser Point, though, so I'd be fixing some light meals in my studio and PHing to WS or heading out to the CR, Poly and GF to eat. Not a big drawback with a PH and time to go eat wherever I fancy.
How about you? Where would you buy?
