Good Morning Groupies -
I'm curious - how many groupies also own AKV points? The reason I ask is the two resorts are so very similar in nature. They are both kind of off the beaten path. They both have very unique decor and style. They are both directly attached to a deluxe resort.
When we first bought our VWL points we did it because we loved it's feeling of being remote from the rest of WDW. You could be sitting in what looks like a Pacific Northwest lodge and it all felt so relaxing. But then jump on a bus or boat and you're right in the midst of WDW. That's why we also bought our AKV points. Plus the fact DW and DD are crazy about animals

.
For a while there my favorite resort was BWV because of it's easy access to Epcot, which is my favorite park. But I've gone back now to VWL being my favorite followed closely by AKV. We've stayed at OKW and SSR and while they were nice, I really prefer the DVC resorts that are attached to a resort. I love getting up early and going and getting my coffee and taking an early morning stroll around the resort and then sitting in the lobby just enjoying the atmosphere.
PS - Thanks to everyone for their sympathies for our lose of our cat. I especially enjoyed the poem. We're still missing BK, but life goes on. We've decided to hold off on getting anymore pets. It just makes it so much easier when we don't have to worry about our pets while we're down at WDW.
