Had a great time first time stay at VWL (We are BW lovers). I am just going to break this down into some random observations.
- We absolutly love the whole BW area so the Mrs was mad that I even booked VWL. That said the resort was wonderful. Very classy with incredable charm. Only drawback - it is a little in the middle of no-where (but I am sure that you like it that way)
- Bus transportation seemed great compared to BWV or BCV
- Princess breakfast was not worth all the hype and cost
- Restaurants at VWL are great (WCC is the best)
- Meal discount plan is nice but I always feel that I am getting ripped off. The places that I like are not as expensive as some of the other restaurants (I keep thinking I could be saving even more money)
- Everest is Excellent. We all loved it.
- Contemprary does not seem to be happening. Drove down STOL and trust me IMHO nothing is going on now
- At least one CM was hyped that DVC is going to be building lots of new resorts soon (Hawai, Colorado, California, Contemporary...)
- Member meetings are stupid. Need to treat us like adults not 3 year olds. Not worth the time the way that they are organized now.
- Cape May's Rocks
- Nemo is a great ride for kids under 8 (not bad for adults either). Both DS (4 and 8) loved it.
- I missed the second balcony in 1BR's
- One suggestion for VWL. Cut down some trees so I can see the lake better
Again, really impressed with VWL. Top 10 things about the resort:
11 - Realy fast elivators (OK there are 11)
10 - BIke paths/walking paths
9 - Boat Light show at night
8 - The Railroad (spike) room
7 - Cool style rooms
6 - Boats to Contempory and WCG
5- The class with all the stone in every lobby
4 -Fast boats to rent
3 - Restaurants are great
2 - The beach
1 - The lobby of course
