Which DVC Villa is Your Favorite and Why?

[kikiq]

SSR is our favorite. Before we bought, we made a trip to WDW and visited each resort. Really thought the BWV would be the one but as soon as my DH walked past the SSR community hall, saw the bicycles and then the basketball court and the tennis courts beyond, it really was a no brainer for our family. My DH travels for business, so the "hotel" type DVCs aren't relaxing for him. He considers SSR his second home although VGC is closing in (if we didn't live 30 minutes away, it would be our second home) If we don't feel like going to a park one day, there is plenty to do and we walk over to DTD to eat or grill something, sit on our balcony and enjoy the peace and quiet. I have tried without any luck to convince the extended family to try a new resort for our next big stay and to a person they say NO. We are a very active family, runners, walkers, swimmers, and cyclists, so SSR fits our needs for a vacation that happens to be in WDW

You need to know your family and what they enjoy on vacation. That's what is wonderful about DVC, something for everyone.

Then it's VGC hands down!. Closer to Disneyland than BLT is to Magic Kingdom. Private gate to DCA (So that's 2 theme parks in walking distance)! Closer to DLR's Downtown Disney than SSR is to WDW's Downtown Disney (Even though WDW's DTD is better). So lets review... 2 theme parks and Downtown Disney and you don't even have to step onto a bus, boat, monorail or car!

When WOC (> Illuminations) is over you'll be back in your villa before they turn the lights back on in Paradise Pier!

There are only 50 villas and they all View Rooms! Pool/Fireworks or Park/WOC view!

It still has the "Hotel'esque" touches. Robes, Logoed stationary etc...

ETA... Oh yea... A 2060 Lease expiration date! (+18 years on most DVC's)

Oh yeah, that view...

This was during testing of WOC back in February, before the whole show was ready.

Otherwise you see this:

It was February so the larger pools to the back were being refurbished.

As much as we love our AKV, the location cannot be beat!
