I just stayed at a MVC resort and while commuting to and from was a pain it was a lot better than the buses I took while staying on property. I’d like to see what the riviera resales look like. With the new restrictions it will be difficult. Personally speaking I wouldn’t mind staying at riviera but also would want to stay at other resorts like GF or AKV. When it comes to resale, even if they are priced really low I’m sure DVC will exercise ROFR pretty often.To second what elaine said, it isn't the villas at DVC that are special so much as the resorts. But the themeing isn't Disney so much as Magnificent Mountain Lodge (aka Ahwahnee Hotel) (BRV/CCV), African Safari House (AKV), Atlantic Coast Resort (BCV), etc. We're staying at BCV right now and the resort at Christmastime is nothing short of magical. As is the adjacent Yacht Club and the themeing in oft overlooked places like the solarium. And the ability to walk to and from EPCOT and HS is priceless.
Well...not exactly priceless since we do pay a pretty penny for the privilege. We have stayed off property in nearby MVCI resorts which have villas that are arguably nicer and inarguably far less expensive. But after our last off-property stay I found myself channeling Scarlett O'Hara, "As god as my witness, I'll never book 30 day fastpasses at 7:00AM each and every morning of my length of stay again!" Or have to choose who will be the designated driver instead of having to choose whether to dine in France, Italy, Japan...or one of the many nearby seafood restaurants.
