What is you favorite place to be in any DVC resort? A few of my favorites:

- The Boardwalk at night
- The Beach at BCV - siitting on those chairs looking back at the BW
- The bar across teh bridge inside of the Boardwalk. Playing chess with my sone
- The beach at VWL. Watching the Electric Light Boat Show. It is so dark out there.
- the campfire at VB. SMORES
 
* OKW big balcony (any unit) for breakfast and at sunrise and sunset
* OKW Jacuzzi for a relaxing early morning start to my day (just like at home)
* Watching the animals on the Savanna....Haven't done this with DVC yet (even though we have at the regular lodge), but will be doing this on our first AKV trip in March!
* Taking the pontoon boat to DTD OR the walkway from OKW.
* Sitting at the outdoor tables outside Beaches and Cream eating a double cone!
* Relaxing in the big OKW living room at night with videos and games.
* teasing the golfers from the balcony when I have one of the OKW units overlooking a green!
 
Finding a few minutes in the Iron Spike Room at VWL to relax and enjoy the quiet.

The boat ride from SSR to Downtown Disney.

Being up early at any resort and siting in the hot tub before the hustle and bustle starts.

A game of horseshoes or shuffleboard at SSR.

OOO yes! I love the iron spike room too! I have never stayed at VWL, but I have visited the Iron Spike room on several occations.
 

walking around OKW when the sun is rising. (I am not the only one)

relaxing at any of the DVC resorts.

having a drink by the main pool at BWV and taking it to the hot tub.

at night - definitely bw lights - also that one seat along the BWV - where you can see the Epcot fireworks, then the MK fireworks.

vwl - love spike room, also love the woods review - very relaxing. riding the boat back from the MK.

akv - watching the lobby go into entertainment mode - vs just lovely mode of the daytime. the big fire pit outside. watching the animals day time and night.

bcv watching the fireworks at Epcot from your room. room service!!! the garden tour. walking along the lake front in the sand.
 
Here are a few of my favorites:

Boardwalk in the evening
Walking the loop around the lake at BWV in the early morning before it gets hot
Taking the boat at night to Saratoga after dinner at DD, so magical :cloud9:
Walking the loop from Saratoga around DD in the morning before it gets hot
Walking the beach at Vero

I love my DVC :love:
 
At BCV (when I'm solo), my favorite is sitting in a swing on the beach at night, either looking at the Boardwalk all lit up or watching a beach movie (I really enjoy them!)
If I'm at OKW(with DH), my favorite is the benches between Olivia's and Gurgling Suitcase, with an adult beverage, waiting for Illuminations or WIshes to begin, then I run over to the bridge (after looking both ways) over the golf course water to watch the fireworks.
 
Sitting in the gallery between the Carraige House and Artists palette at SSR. Classy and quite.
 
  • The walkway from MGM back to the Boardwalk at night
  • A pool view room being able to watch the little kids have the time of their lives on the Keister Coaster
  • A savanah-view room at AKV
  • Sitting in the Wilderness Lodge (or Animal Kingdom Lodge) and feeling so small as you look up -- and the wonderful view of looking up when decorated for Christmas
  • The Boardwalk at Christmas (heck, at any time of the year!)
Just a few of my favorites!
 
OKW
At OKW I love sitting at the bar at the Gurgling Suitcase with DH and joking around with the bartender. The walkway between OKW and DD is great for an early morning stroll. And of course the balcony of 1-3 bedrooms most anytime of the day with a nice glass of wine. Almost forgot the pontoon boat to DD, definitely a relaxing way to get there too.

BCV & BWV
Relaxing on the verandah of the Bellvue Room late at night with an after dinner drink. Watching the entertainment go by while sitting at a table at Big River Grille for a snack and drink. Sipping a martini at Martha's Vineyard. Watching the Epcot fireworks from an upper balcony in the Ariel Courtyard.

AKL
Having a drink at the lounge above Boma's. Just sitting and relaxing in the lobby. And having a wonderful dinner at Jiko.

WLV
Dinner at Artist Point! Relaxing on the swing at the end of the dock. Walking the trail to Fort Wilderness. Sitting in the lobby with a hot chocolate by the fire.
 
Breakfast at Artist Point @ VWL
SSR - Spa getting a massage!:banana:
I love the whole atomsphere at SSR!
 
There is a room just off the main lobby at AKV/AKL that has old safari photos and cases of old safari items. Its a great quiet place to linger.

Yeah, we had our DVC member get together in the Iron Spike room a few years ago.

We have two - one sitting on the porch (one bedroom or larger) at OKW when the sun is just coming up and drinking OJ or hot chocolate while I'm still in my PJs watching the groundskeepers mowing the lawn. Other one is sitting outside at Olivia's, eating breakfast, again, early in the morning with a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me.
 
Boardwalk at Night
Watching Illuminations from the Boardwalk down by Jellyrolls and the Dance Hall
SAB pool at the Beach Club
Jogging in the morning around the grounds at SSR
Walking from SSR to DTD
Golfing my way through OKW at LBV Golf Course
A relaxing drink at any of the bars or poolside at the DVC resorts
Best Restaurant : Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge
 
We have special memories from all the WDW/DVC resorts. Some of our favorites are:
* a boardwalk view villa --is wonderful. At night it is truely beautiful and magical!!!
*a villa at BCV which then allows access to Stormalong Bay. Absolutely love this pool. For us, it is worth paying the extra points.
* a BCV or BWV villa for the wonderful and convenient location to Epcot and MGM and Illuminations, Fantasmic, etc.
*a VWL villa for it's wonderful location to MK and all it's extras; such as the electrical light parade, MK fireworks, etc.
*a OKW villa for the larger villas and outside porches-- that are to die for!
* a villa at Saratoga with a DTD view!
They are all great! Enjoy!!!

I have to agree about the outdoor dining a Olivia's too! Many times we have sat out there stretching a meal into a couple of hours just to enjoy the visit and the iced tea refills!
 
I enjoy eating the fish & chips outside The Rose & Crown at Epcot, washing it down with a Bass or Harp Ale. Especially like doing this when staying at BCV.
