Hey all! I wasn't sure I could make a trip this year but now it's more likely than not, yay!! I put this trip together just this past week. To complicate things, I have never stayed on my DVC points before.
I will be driving from NY with my 9 year old daughter, then after 6 days my fiancé will fly in and joint us for the last 3 days. I could only piece together rooms here and there- I was trying to avoid staying in SSR, mostly because we regularly vacation in the real Saratoga. We are doing a resort only stay, or maybe just one park day. So I wanted a little excitement of switching up the resorts so we can explore them and have different pools and activities and foods to enjoy. We are super excited over our DVC ownership!
I will take two days to drive down. Then on Friday August 23rd we arrive and stay at BLT MK view for one day. Do I try to watch the fireworks from our room or go up to TOTWL? Anything I should know about the resort, aka, what should I try to get done in my two days there?
Next we go to our home resort, OKW on the 24th. We are planning on lots of pool time and relaxing, using the Community Hall. Probably take the boat to DTD. Because I have points that are banked and expiring we actually have OKW until Saturday the 31st.
On Friday the 30th we check into Beach Club Villas for one night. Obviously we plan to pool pool pool for two days.
I am trying to get an additional night before or after BLT and before or after Beach Club so we have two nights at those resorts. It makes a little more sense T not have to drag all our stuff! But I know they are in high demand so I'm not planning on getting either. If we get the BCV we will cancel those two OKW nights, if not we will do the BCV then go back to OKW for one night.
So, thoughts on this crazy plan? Things we should definitely do? Rooms or areas we should request? My daughter loves the big slides but she will be happy with anything. I will have my car for getting around. I may order from Garden Grocer rather than spend time going to a store, but I certainly will have the time to do it once we check in to OKW. I really want to be able to take advantage of Our short times at BLT and BCV.
Thanks!
