Which DVC resort is the most eye popping, jaw dropping gorgeous?

[CapeCodFam]

While not a a DVC, we always marvel the most at the Walt Disney World sign as we enter the property. After that, it's all good.

 

[Par8hed]

The correct answer is VB! Most of you probably have not been there. But for the pure "wow" factor VB is the best. Lush,lush vegetation. Beautiful lawns. Impressive architecture. And the sight and sound of the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop doesn't hurt.
I think most of the onsite properties are beautiful, but they can't match Vero scenicly.

Well, I may have nothing to worry about anyway. My choices of resorts at this late point in time maybe limited. It won't really matter though. I know we'll be thrilled no matter which DVC resort we can stay at!

It looks like I was right. According to a nice Disboard member who PM'd me today, the only resort we can book is SSR!

It sure looks beautiful in the pictures. I can hardly wait to see it, and to see my husbands face when he sees it!

We're going to visit all the DVC resorts while were there, so we'll still be able to "OOOOH & AHHHHH!" when we see the gorgeousness of the other resorts, and we'll probably eat at a few of the restaurants at those resorts too.

So, SSR HERE WE COME!

It is beautiful! Elegant and upscale. I think it is perfect for an adult trip. Downtown Disney has some great places to dine and shop and just stroll along. I think you will have a great time! They might have the new building open then too, I think they said January in the newsletter.

it is a beautiful resort and at this time our favorite. Wow factor is in the eye of the beholder. I have stayed at all the DVC resorts several times including Vero Beach and HHI and SSR is a great place. I think it has the most attractive decor in the villas of any of the locations.

Have a great time.

Enjoy your visit to SSR. If you don't have a view of DTD from your villa, be sure to go to the water and look across at night. DTD looks absolutely gorgeous with twinkling lights in the clear atmosphere of the area.

PS. One of my favorite views of childhood is gazing at NYC from Hoboken at night, with the twinkling and the reflection on the water.

I think SSR will be very very pretty once all the construction is done.

It's sort of not so nice right now when you first enter the resort and see construction going on.

I think the Grand Stand area will give Congress Park a run for it's money.

I do like the VWL lobby too, very nice

BC is ok, OKW not so much.

Haven't seen BW, HHI or VB though.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Where is the Grand Stand section located at SSR?

Also, does anyone happen to know when the Grand Stand section is going to be completed and open?

 

[DisDaydreamer]

WOW! Tough question. (not in any particular order)

VWL - WOW what a lobby and grounds
BCV - WOW what a pool
OKW - WOW what a room
BWV - WOW what a location
VB - WOW what a vacation
HHI - WOW what nature lovers dream
SSR - WOW I haven't been there yet.

WOW - what a great decision we made

I would have to say the one that has impressed me the most is BCV - but I saw it at Christmas. SSR seems so plain to me, and I don't like the fact that they dont' have a decent sit down resturant. VWL are okay - I like parts of the lobby at VWL - the fireplace, the height, and the music are all wonderful. I don't like that Whispering Canyon is somewhat in the lobby and the rooms remind me of camping. However their Courtyard area is absolutley breath taking. I haven't seen Old Key West or BWV.

Did you not like the food selections at the Turf Club, because I can not imagine anyone not liking the decor, we found it very attractive.

And while the menu was not extensive we found what they offered very good and they are suppose to expand the menu. The chicken and turf potatoes were very good and I have read good reviews on the steak.

 

[EricaLovesMickey]

Hands down....Wilderness Lodge. Nothing beats the granduer of walking in to the grand lobby. It is inspiring!

 

[psu4glory]

we haven't stayed in all of the DVC resorts - but have visited and viewed the grounds of all of them several times.

even though we decided to purchase at BWV, i'd have to vote for VWL as the most visually stunning. coming through the security gate, rounding the bend, and seeing that enormous lodge set in the woods is an amazing feeling...and when you come through the front doors into the lobby (especially when your first time is during the christmas holiday!).....there's nothing i could think of that could compare.

 

[cseca]

WLV to me...
We've always wanted to stay at BWV but couldn't afford it of course.
Then we had a postcard code at WL... and fell in love with it immediately.

Took the DVC tour that week, bought into BWV.
Then I kept dreaming about WL being a DVC resort.
Lo and behold the next resort was WLV.
We add on the minute it was selling....

Never regretted every single point...

I'd have to go with the Boardwalk and the Beach Club. I never grow tired of sitting along the Boardwalk and just looking at these two resorts--particularly at night.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. DH and I bought SSR earlier this year - and while we definitely liked it enough to buy it when we did the tour, we were gloriously surprised how much we LOVED it when staying there this past March. The lobby and main building are beautiful, and the grounds have such a peaceful feel. We got the best of both worlds - we were in Congress Park with a view of DTD, so we could walk around the grounds for a "country respite" feeling, but then look out over the lights of DTD to be reminded where we were, after all.

Have fun!!!

Okay, I guess we are just different. We didn't care for the decor at SSR. Granted, we only saw the GV, but the dark wood and orange and yellow decor did not do it for us. However, the Turf club and Artists' Palette both sound really yummy to me. We may have to go over there sometime just to eat!!!

Have you been to Turf Club since they expanded? It was our favorite TS in Septemeber and the only one we are returning to in January. Awesome!

Whichever one I'm staying in!
My first DVC experience was a visit to VB with a DVC member and I was blown away by the resort, the theming and the CM's! That visit was a big part of my choice to join.
Right after I bought into SSR, I took my parents for a quick visit to OKW-WOW, gorgeous! We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and just LOVED it.
Last month, I visited HHI for 5 days-loved that too! The 40's music, the Swimmin' Hole, the marsh views...ahhhh.
Now in 39 days, I make my first trip HOME and I know I'll think that's the most beautiful place ever.
Wherever I am in DVC, is the most wonderful place on Earth!!!
