Just curious, *OTHER* than your home resort(s), which resort(s) do you most like to stay at?

Just a fun question and looking for some inspiration what resort to try next. Thanks! :thumbsup2
 
Our home resort is AKV. We stayed there in October in a 1br with the kids. It was amazing! In January my husband and I stayed in a studio at OKW, just the two of us. I really enjoyed this resort too, vey relaxing, loved the boat ride to DTD. This summer we are staying at BWV for 5 nights, then AKV for 5 nights. We're looking forward to being close to DHS and Epcot while at BWV. We would like to try BCV too. But for the lower points to stay, we are very happy with AKV and OKW.
 
We own BLT but we love WL. We have never stayed at VWL but are going to in June.
 

Home = SSR (don't like) and AKV (love).

I think my favorite after, or tied with AKV, is BCV. It would be BWV if it weren't for how awesome BCV's pool is. BLT comes next-- awesome location, lake view is beautiful, but prefer more theming in a resort.
 
Home resort is BCV.
In the last 3 years ( 2009-2011 ) I have stayed at OKW 11 times and BCV 5 times, this year it will be 5 times at OKW and once at BCV. I guess I must like OKW a little, but I have stayed at BCV almost 30 times since purchasing in 2002 so it is still my favorite.
 
We own all pts at VWL and love it, but we really love OKW. The 1 bdrs are so spacious, and we love the peacefulness and tranquility(much like VWL). Ranking right there with OKW is BWV. Though we have only stayed there once, we look forward to staying there again.
 
Saratoga Springs is my home resort. It gets a undeserved bad reputation in my opinion. It is a very relaxing resort. I also think people tend to over rate some things like Zebra Domes and the pool at BCV. I've done both and didn't see what all the fuss was about. But that is just my opinion. Those who love them will think other wise. AKV and VWL are my favorite. That is the best thing about Disney, something for everyone !
 
OKW is our home resort and we love it completely. Everything about it works for us, the size of the resort, the size of the rooms, the parking, the walk to DTD, the ferry, the staff, Olivia's...

Others? Much depends upon why we want to be at WDW

Food and Wine? BCV. (We'll stay at BWV if forced, but it's our absolutely least favorite resort).

Gay Day? BLT! Had a wonderful time there!

Christmas if not OKW, WLV.

We really enjoy Kidani village too, especially if we have children with us.

SSR is nice, too. Not a huge favorite, but perfectly fine if that's all we can get.

Still waiting to try Tree House Villas.

Vero Beach used to be a seasonal favorite, but with the loss of the beach... not anymore. :(
 
We own at BLT but usually stay at BCV. We stayed at BLT in Dec 2010 and the weather was freezing but we loved BLT. However if it's warm we always stay at BCV. The pool can't be beat! I love the feel of the resort. :lovestruc Thanks! April
 
Depends on what we are doing that trip:
Parks trip - BWV or BCV
Shopping/dining/visiting other than WDW parks trip - SSR
Relaxing - AKV or VWL
See something new - VB or HH
Favorite trip - DCLs
 
Own at SSR

In order we love AKV:love:, BCV, WLV, OKW. Have never stayed at BWV but the pool clown creeps me out and my daughter so I don't know about that one.

SSR is our last choice although we stayed last August and the addition of the new pool with food poolside is a wonderful addition. :woohoo:
 
We own at OKW (15 years) and AKV (4 years).

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE OKW but I have also come to love AKV-Kidani as well. At first we thought we would mostly use AKV for concierge, and that's what we did the first couple of times we stayed there, but now we absolutely love Kidani, and I don't ever see us going back to Jambo or Club Level unless we decide we need to do one of the concierge level only tours again.
 
Well I own points at my 3 favorite resorts so I may not be the best judge. However, we really enjoy OKW. The 1 BRs are huge & it's just a very relaxing resort. It is especially nice if you plan a limited or no parks trip. It makes me feel like I've gone someplace tropical.
 
I own at BLT and AKV, but also love VWL, BCV and BWV. We're staying at OKW for the first time this June (just a few nights pre-cruise.) I can say with complete honesty that we enjoy ALL the WDW DVC resorts - have yet to be disappointed by any of them.
 
SSR is home, but we keep booking at AKV. My family loves the savannah, the animals, and the FOOD. :yay:
 
We love them all and are still in the process of staying at each one. This summer we are trying BLT and VB and in the fall VWL and back to BWV for Food and Wine. I can't imagine being unhappy at any of them.

That being said DH is a golfer and I am a walker so we love the peacefulness of SSR and our girls really love the Community Center and pool there. We also like that it is more condo like. These are the reasons we bought there.

We like the location of BWV and BCV but not a fan of the BWV room decor.

Love AKV decor and theming but lobby seemed very conjested at all times. However it was Christmas when we stayed there so that could be the reason because the decorations were beautiful.

If I had pick something other than my home I would stay at BCV.

Love my DVC :love:
 
We own at BWV and SSR.

This past January we stayed at Kidani Village and fell in love :love: with it so for the time being ....... it's Kidani. :thumbsup2

But we will be at Aulani in just 29 days..... :rolleyes1 so we'll see.
