What are the differences between standard and preferred?

 

[PalmettoPath]

Preferred areas are closer to things like the main Carriage House or the Disney Springs walkway (Congress Park, our personal favorite). So if you are going Preferred, you'll probably want to request a specific Preferred area (if having close access to a specific thing is important).

What about views?

What about views?

The Springs and Congress Park (the two main preferred areas) also can have good views. I mean, we also request a specific view and/or building in Congress Park. But the Preferred points category isn't based on view (if that's what you were asking). There are some great views in non-preferred areas as well. It really depends on what kind of view you like. Basically, the extra points (DVC) or cash you are paying for Preferred is for the convenience of proximity. For a resort that's 65 acres, it can make a difference depending on what's important to you.
