Just wondering-anyone else's home resort not their favorite?

[jeanneg]

We've been members since '92 and still can't bring ourselves to stay at the other resorts. Now that both we and the kids are older there's very little "urgency" about getting to the parks and so the tranquility of OKW suits us fine. Every time we consider trying one of the other resorts, we think about the higher points requirement for smaller sized units and just think, "Naaaahh, not this year!" I still think it's one of the smartest things we ever did and a great value no matter where your home resort is.

We bought DVC in March. I was a little disappointed that only BCV was available. I am a BIG WL fan.

But after using our free stay at YC, I am so glad we are BCV!!! I LOVED YC!

I can't wait until our stay next June!!

We purchased OKW in 1999, after we were there in 98 when my sister had the family down in a GV. We added on once at OKW after we seen how much we enjoyed it there. This Jan we bought at VB to get the 11 month window there for the winter months. Then after going down there for the first time last week, and seeing how beautiful the resort is, we added more pts there.
We went to HH last summer, and it is a very nice resort also.
But for us we are very satisfied with our 2 home resorts(OKW-VB)
and wouldn't change anything .
We also plan to stay at the BWV's and BCV's in the future.Now there are 4 members in our family that are DVC members. That makes it very easy for us to combine pts and get the GV's and Beach Cottages when we get togehter every year or every other year.

Our first trip on DVC points was to our home at BWV and we haven't been back there since. We just love VWL too much. We're going to try the BCV this year, but I know we'll miss being at VWL. We did add on a few points there, but our main contract is still BWV.

I can't see us staying at BWV or OKW unless we can't get in anywhere else.

Our home resort is OKW, which we love. Have stayed in BWV, which we also like due to the location, but we have no regrets about OKW being "home". DH just mentioned that he is thinking of buying more points at BCV !!!!! This would make me oh so happy!!!!!

OK, our home resort is BWV, but if someone said you had to pick one and only one DVC resort for all future visits it would be OKW. Don't get me wrong, I like BWV and I'm glad I purchased there. But I also love OKW for the size of the units and the quiet/laid back atmosphere. Having BWV as home let's me get the 11 month window when needed and when not I've never had a problem getting in at OKW all the way down to the 3 month mark vs. being on a waitlist at BWV with less then 98 days to go before next visit. I think I have the best of both worlds!

We bought into OKW in 1997 and it suits us perfect. We like the condo feeling better than the hotel feeling. I guess we just like the laid back atmosphere. That ia probably why we also own at HH. It is so nice to know that there are the other options also.

WE love OKW and wouldn't trade it for the world! Just to show you how easy it is to book... Several of us did a 5 night ressie in a 2 bedroom for a dying young lady and her family. We were able to book the trip for July 21-26, and just did it last week!!

We own at OKW since Oct of 2000 and have tried Vero and Hilton Head as well. Except for the "no-see um" bugs at Vero they are all great! Even the little bug bites at Vero wouldn't stop me from returning there. At the rate Disney is building we may try quite a few places before returning home to OKW.

I am a VWL owner, but I really love the Boarwalk area more. The 7 month window has never stopped me from staying where I wanted to, so I do not subscribe to the buy only where you will stay theory. Then again, I vacation in the off-seasons to avoid heat, crowds, high points, etc.... So of course I noramally get my choice of property.

We own at VWL and love being close to MK because our son is at that age. If it was just my wife an I, it would be BWV- we love the nightlife and action. That's what is so awesome about this club- you're never stuck in the same place!!!! OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS!!!
