VWL studios for MK loving family?

[DVC Mary]

What studios at VWL would be best for a family that will be going to MK most of the time? Can you get to the path to get around the lodge & to the boat dock/ferry transportation with a room near the pool? Or do you have to go through the lodge & out to get to the boat dock/ ferry?

Thanks for any suggestions!

There is a path that runs from the quiet pool behind the lodge and main pool over to the MK boat dock. It is under a 5 minute walk. At night it can be very dark though. If you have little ones I would suggest having small flashlights or glow sticks for them.

Enjoy

The flashlights or glow sticks is a great idea! I'll also make sure we get a feel for the place in the light first!

Many thanks!

Mary,
We stayed at VWL for the first time in 2-03. Our home resort is BW. We had what I thought was the PERFECT location. We had no experience over there, so the only request we put in for was non-smoking.
The DVC villas are in a separate building from the main lodge.
Our studio was the closest to the main lodge you can imagine, plus the closest to the bus "depot". I saved the number... 1502.
Now, to get to the quiet pool or the main pool it was a teeny walk, and you had to meander along those previously mentioned paths toward the "back" and the lake.
My sister had stayed there a month earlier and they were put ALL the way at the end of the villa building.... which is a far walk from everything (but I'm a lazy bones!)

ask for near the elevators - if you want a good view - also ask for on the lake side.

there are a couple of bad views at VWL - but they are on the opposite side.

some of the studios are dedicated (you can get an extra closet) - plus without the connecting 1-bedroom they are generally quieter.

The red roof area is VWL and the green roof is WL

The top "arm" of the WL - at the end barely visible is the boat dock

Hope this helps
