Use One Sentence to Sum Up Each DVC Resort You've Stayed At

[LSchrow]

BWV (home resort) - our absolute favorite resort with a wonderful array of activities, entertainment & dining/snacks, CH, great CMs, best views in all of WDW, with the ability to stroll to 2 parks, mini-golf, & even MORE restaurants, car rental at the Swolphin
SSR (home resort) - love the beauty & serenity - most resort feeling of all WDW resorts, Turf Club (one of the best restaurants in all of WDW), wonderful views (CP), and easy access to DS
BCV (home resort) - love the location & beautiful theming, but find the high noise levels & chaotic main pool not conducive to relaxing vacations, lack of decent views (side note: we like the YC MUCH better)
VGF - love the GF proper; love, LOVE the VGF villas interiors (especially bathrooms!) & VGF lobby, but don't care for being in a totally separate building, quite distant to monorail, boat launch, mug refills & snacks
BLT - convenience to MK & TOW accessibility are wonderful, nice room views, very pretty & serene grounds, LOVE the studio kitchens, not fans of the smells (the overpowering perfume scent when checking in at the CR lobby, the non-magical exhaust fumes walking over to MK)
OKW - great sized rooms, enjoy Olivia's, & as much as we enjoy serenity in a resort, OKW makes us yawn uncontrollably
AKV- AMAZING grounds & interiors (so much to see/do indoors!), wonderful views, some of the best restaurants on property (Sanaa & Boma - not fans of Jiko), CMs not nearly as friendly as at other resorts, transportation to parks can be poor (took almost 2 hours to get a bus to DHS; it would've been longer, but we asked a bus driver going to AK for help)

have yet to stay at PVB or VWL (tho stayed at both of their sister, non-DVC resorts)

AKV: The entire resort is stunning!

GCV: Our favorite DVC and where we have used all of our points for the past 3+ years.

SSR: Welcome Home to us though we have only stayed in the THV and loved them!

OKW: Our first taste of DVC and in a grand villa no less; got DH to take the plunge!

SSR-Would you like some doors, because we've fit about 15 into our one bedrooms just for you.

GFV- If crown molding is what you're looking for, then come on in, our crown molding even has crown molding.

BLT- Into spying on your neighbors, then this is the place for you, just walk down the hall and listen, you'll hear everybody.

AKV- Animals!!!!

BWV- You can walk to two parks, what could be better?

POLY- Even better than the real thing.

VWL- Just like Yellowstone minus the bison and stinky volcanic features.

OKW- Two real beds in a studio, count me in!

 

[Anal Annie]

Animal Kingdom Lodge: - One of our favorite FL DVC resorts - love the architecture and onsite restaurants - The Mara is one of the best CS places on site.

Aulani: One of our favorite DVC resorts in our most favorite spot on Earth (Hawaii)

Bay Lake Tower: Great views, fantastic kitchenette and access to the Magic Kingdom but wish the points were a little lower so we could afford more often.

Beach Club: Very relaxing and "beachy" - another favorite with the SAB pool

Boardwalk: Super location with unique onsite access to the boardwalk plus love the walkability to Epcot.

Grand Californian: Spectacular location - beautiful architecture - but TOO SMALL.

Hilton Head: Studios were a great size but the wood construction was noisy (could hear every step our neighbors above us thumped out).

Old Key West: Have stayed there 2x and HATED the first time (and it was our first ever DVC stay) but last time wasn't AS BAD - buses there are SLOW.

Poly: LOVED it there and thought the location was FANTASTIC and although spacious they DID skimp on the kitchenette size (zero storage) plus points are too high to afford to go very often.

Saratoga Springs: Our home resort and we don't mind "being stuck there" as much as some people seem to - onsite restaurants are great and quick to pop over to Disney Springs.

Wilderness Lodge (or Boulder Ridge I guess now): We've only managed to stay there once so far and would love to go back again...have kinda been putting it off tho until the construction is done.

Vero Beach: Great views from the OV Inn Rooms - loved how large they were just too bad the beach is so steep (at least it was when we were there) and that there's not much else to do in the area.

SSR Treehouses: Love the seclusion, like the theme, not a fan of the buses.
BWV: Not a fan, used to be a favorite until they make it generic. I will leave it for those who love it.
BCV: Ditto BWV. Used to be a favorite; no longer like the décor, too generic.
AKL: Love the theme; wish it had comforters on the beds.
OKW: Ditto AKL. Have not stayed there in a couple of years. Hope the renovations do not turn it into another “generic” hotel. Wish it had comforters on the beds.
WLV: Love the ability to hike through the campgrounds but not a fan of villa’s interior décor. Ditto comforters.
BLT: No plans to stay there, the villas look cold and harsh. Leave it for those who love it.
Poly: Too expensive but would love to stay there.
GFV: Ditto Poly.
Aulani: On the bucket list…
Grand Califorian: On the bucket list…
HH & VB: Not beachy people so we probably will not make it to HH or VB.

 

[Kidanifan08]

Kidani: definitely my favorite; love the seclusion and peaceful savanna view balconies-- Serenity now!
Jambo: love the option for value and concierge rooms.
BLT: walking to MK is great; transportation to other parks, not so much.
SSR: stayed there once early on, but would like to try it for a short stay to have easy access to DS.
OKW: nice point saver and love the two beds in the studios.
BCV: love the proximity to Epcot and DS10 loves the pool, but the walk to SAB and the views stink.
BWV: my second favorite after Kidani, particularly the Boardwalk views and easy access to EP and HS.

 

[Tiggerette]

What fun! I thought I'd make my "sentences" in haiku...

Erstwhile dapper joys
In elegant comfort crown,
Grand Floridian

Meandering Beasts,
Giraffes and tea, al fresco
serene Kidani.

BLT (home resort)= love the location, love the views we've had, love walking back to BLT after long day at MK, but not the transportation to other parks
BWV (my favorite so far)=love the walk to Epcot or HS, fun pool, lots of food options, friendliest CM we've encountered
Kidani=long hallways, too far from parks for me, but a special treat to have animals right off your balcony
VWL=love the rustic feel, boat ride to MK, lobby is amazing
BCV= will visit for first time in May and looking forward to trying the pool
