Resale shopping again.. my heart wants one thing but my head says another. Give your opinions.

I must be the only person who prefers the buses over boats

Seems like you and I have opposite tastes! Id pay extra to take a boat and skip the bus.

 

[VGCgroupie]

I don't know how much I'd enjoy boats if they make multiple stops like at Crescent Lake and the other Bay Lake resorts. But the no-stop rides from WL are great.

Still 110% better than the bus

I think so but then again I've never had anyone say they like the bus for me its monorail, bus, skyliner, then boat

 

[Girlstar30]

Come to think of it thats probably why I had no issue agreeing that akv checked all the boxes

I can say I want to love the monorail due to its iconicness (if thats a word) but it can be a bit like bus at times if you end up with your butt in someones face or someones butt in your face just not as in your face as the bus.

Okay maybe I will change my mind as the years pass

Ugh of course super tempting BWV's popping up but not in the UY I swore I would adhere to. Worst part they are in my other UY. It's only been a couple days, I must remain strong.

the small one is already gone. That's my BWV UY too, but there's no way I'm allowed to add on right now.

dang I just saw the small one and considered pulling the trigger ...figured it'd already be gone since I didn't see it immediately and it was a small one / the price wasn't terrible.

Yes it went super quick!! Someone was quick on the draw on that one!

I think going by heart is more rational than emotional.
Also, you made me want to tour CCV and BWV as I will visit WDW on a partial solo trip next month. Any suggestion on timing of the day, etc.?

I think all of Crescent Lake is magical just after sunset (this goes for the World Showcase too), I’d try to hit both in the 45m after the sun goes down, sometimes you get nice sunsets over crescent lake from the back of the friendship boats. If it’s really hot you might want to enjoy the view by Skyliner and then stroll after it starts to cool off. If the weather is nice you can rent a surrey or boat earlier in the day (maybe not a great idea if you’re solo).

BLT is the best value on the monorail. CCV is the best value for a MK resort.

I think this is correct…but many people have bought for value only to regret it over time, so I would say it’s only the best value if you like it enough to stay there most of your trips without wistfully staring across the lake(s).

I'm looking forward to seeing what point charts are like for LSL. Among MK resorts, I can't imagine they'll be CCV/BRV level; I'm thinking more like BLT but not as high as PVB or VGF. I remember liking the pre-pandemic concept art of the rooms. I hope we get some more info or art at Destination D23 in August.

My guess is approximately comparable to RIV, more if there are any rooms with special views.

Well, the good news is I now feel more confident we aren’t the same person. Possibly my exact reverse order.

I suspect we will see it on the ROFR thread…

Well when it comes to DVC I have absolutely no will power. I made an offer. Expect to see me in the rejected offers thread soon.

I have an hour commute 4 days a week. I'm just happy not to have to drive on vacation! I love that all the transportation is included at WDW.

Something nice about BLT is that you can walk to the bus loop at MK and thereby have direct access to all the resorts, which often have better restaurants than the parks.

I am so jealous and hope you get good news!

An offer where!!

Well, Riviera has similar point values to BLT on average (I think that's been my experience).

Does your husband know lol

I agree some of those hotel restaurants are delicious! I can't wait to try more of the vgf restaurants i actually only got to try the buffet and room service! My favorite so far are Jiko and Chef Mickeys

I didnt even think about this, this is a great option!
