Okay new question time!!

What resort are you staying at and why did you pick it?

We are staying at Beach Club Villas! We were originally booked for Boardwalk Villas but put our name on the waitlist for BCV to open up and a day later it did. We are super excited to stay at BCV, mainly because of the great location! I am so happy we will be able to walk to World Showcase whenever we want to, and DHS is a boat ride or walk away. We are also excited to spend some time at Stormalong Bay, to eat at some of the BC restaurants, and all-around having a great trip. We loved OKW, but thought it'd be fun to try an Epcot resort.

Okay new question time!!

We're staying at Bay Lake Tower, our home resort, for the first time as DVC members.

When my Wife Joni (the original Kazooie01) passed away from cancer in July 2010, she left in her wishes that I become a DVC Member to guarantee that the children "would always have Disney” because "that was the family's special place." We did, and stayed at Kidani Village last year (which was always her dream location to stay at). This January we'll be at our home resort (Bay Lake because she said the theme park view would be amazing, she always dreamed of waking up and seeing Cinderella's Castle).

She was a great person, a fabulous Mom, and an incredible Wife. She is the reason we’ll be staying there.

That is such a sweet story.

What resort are you staying at and why did you pick it?

We are staying at BCV for 3 nights in a Studio (have to use up the rest of this years points before they expire in March) and then moving over to Pop for 3 nights (first time staying at a Value). We stayed at BCV this past May and loved it (we are big fans of BC and the whole Epcot Resort area) and since we decided that 3 nights was just not long enough for us, we went ahead and added 3 more nights and since we did that, we decided to save some money and stay at a Value...the kids have no idea that we added the 3 extra nights and staying at a resort that they have been wanting to stay at for a while now .

Can't wait.

We will be at Allstar Music. We chose it for the family suites as we are taking our grandchildren for their 1st trip. They are young enough to enjoy the value theming and with the savings, we booked deluxe dining.

Kazooie01 -- how touching!

 

[Marshay]

We chose OKW b/c:

1) we were going to bring friends and wanted one of the cheaper DVCs along with the most room for us all to spread out.

2) we hadn't been here before and want to try them all

After our friends canceled, we decided to stay with OKW and save points for another trip, hopefully BLT again!

 

[jandkmom]

We chose Poly because my DH would only go if we were on the monorail and my DD thinks Poly is her favorite. It was the first place we stayed on our first trip to Disney so we all have fond memories. Plus we love the tropical atmosphere and the food!

What resort are you staying at and why did you pick it?

We are staying at FW Cabins. Picked because of the extra room, kitchen and the idea of a a little peace and quite at the end of the day.

 

[MOM POPPINS]

Such a touching story thanks for sharing!

We will be at the Boardwalk, we love it there!

We are staying at POR, again! We toy with the idea of trying out other resorts, but POR just has so many things that we like. It's our Disney "home". Looking forward to those queen beds this time!

I'm staying at POR - I was originally booked for POP, but kept going back and forth between the two, and decided that POR looked like it would be a bit more relaxing - and it looks so pretty

Hello, I just rebooked Pop for January 21-28. Yes, I said rebooked, we made plans for this resort and time period then changed them by pushing it up a week and staying offsite but we are now right back to where we started.

That's too funny!! You probably made a better choice since the prior week is a holiday and more apt for crowds.

And so glad to hear you are on-site again! Nothing beats being on-property, IMHO.
