Poll: What are your top 3 favorite DVC resorts?

[Simba's Mom]

My top 3 at WDW are BCV, OKW, and AKV-Jambo. That could change soon as my next trip is at Polynesian Villas-I've never stayed there.
However, my favorite DVC resort overall isn't at WDW, it's DHHIR.

Hilton Head would be in my top three if it were a choice.

Lol - this list changes a bit for me everytime a new poll pops up.

Recently I'm quite infatuated with VGF.
BWV is always a steady.
Then it got down to AKV or VWL. Since it is now called BRV I was a snot and voted for AKV to round out the top 3.

But there's not a single resort I wouldn't stay at and there are things I like at all of them. I'm looking forward to getting back to BLT - it's been too long. I like PVB but have been there several times recently with family who has it at the top of their list so it's time to drop lower in the rotation. And I want to figure out a time for OKW and also to get back to THV. So little time and so many DVC's!!!

My stead top DVC though is VGC. It's been at the top since it opened. Aulani is also a favorite.

AKL pulls out in front!

1. BWV
2. AKV--Kidani
3. PVB

First place is always BWV for us--love the location, community hall, and the roller coaster themed slide--I have no problem with clowns.

I did put AKV 2nd due to the unique nature of the property--having animals outside your balcony is priceless. It's also great when you want more resort time--tons of stuff to do there.

3rd...depends on the type of trip. I felt PVB was slightly above VGF, BLT, VWL, and BCV due to the Poly's easy access to both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot monorails...plus Dole Whips...

OKW is second to last, and SSR is last--we just really dislike SSR and haven't had the best stays there...it is our 'last resort' resort and we put up with it when we have to in order to be at Disney. (Give me long hallways any day over a spread out resort with multiple bus stops.)

Me too. BWV BCV and HHI.

I have never stayed at Grand Floridian or Copper Creek. I have stayed at Wilderness Lodge before but not in the villas. I have stayed at least once everywhere else. My favorites are:
1. BWV - My first home resort and my absolute favorite. We've been owners there for 19 years. I pretty much love everything about this resort and the proximity to two parks makes it my number 1 choice.
2. AKV - This is our second home resort and my second favorite DVC. There is nothing like drinking your coffee and watching the savannah come to life in the morning. We stayed in a Jambo House GV once which was absolutely incredible!
3. Polynesian - This is my favorite non-home DVC. I love the theming, I love Tonga Toast, and I love Dole Whips!

I have not stayed everywhere, although we have visited most of the resorts ...

1. VGF - really it's a tie between VGF and BLT. Overall the family likes VGF more - the resort is lovely, the water play area is perfectly situated for our kids near the zero entry pool, I love the boutique-y feel of VGF. And the restaurants - even when we are not staying at VGF, we are usually there for at least one meal at 1900 Park Fare. It's our arrival-day dinner go-to.

2. BLT - walking distance to MK, great views (we have had fireworks views from our standard and lake view rooms each time); the extra bath in the 1 and 2 br units, and the nostalgia of the monorail going through the resort. And the convenience. I think VGF edges it out because I like every restaurant there, while I'm not a huge fan of Chef Mickey's or Contempo Cafe. The Wave breakfast, though ...

3. BWV - I love, love, love the BW area. It is so charming and relaxing. Flying Fish is one of our favorite restaurants, and walking to 2 parks can't be beat. I even like the clown pool. And I just don't love SAB enough. One downer is that 2BR are all lockoffs, though.

My top 3 are VGF, BLT, and VGC. I know VGC isn't a choice. It's a toss-up between BWV and BCV for me. I like them both for different reasons. It's so interesting to read all these different opinions.

PVB — love the size and location of the studios.

Hilton Head would be in my top three if it were a choice.

Mine, too!

For this poll, I picked in no particular order...
AKV
BRV
CCV
(But I thought about picking OKW over CCV. It's probably tied with CCV.)

My ideal DVC portfolio, I think. Nice picks!
