I currently am booked in at the end of an Orlando trip to our home resort, BCV for a Friday & Saturday night. I am thinking of trying to get something else at the 7 month booking window. I am guessing that Stormalong Bay will be a zoo, and that possibly another resort would be fun to try, perhaps even Boardwalk because of the atmosphere of the area.
Being that it is a Summer weekend, we may not actually go to any of the parks those days. That said, if you are just going to ENJOY the resort you are at, and walk to all your meals, which resort would you pick? I'd like to hear from some of you who have been-there done-that to many of the DVC resorts, please.
Narrowing it down to:
AKV, Jambo House w. Savannah View
BLT, Themepark View
SSR, Treehouse Villas
BWV, Boardwalk View
Or staying put at BCV
Things I've considered about these are:
AKV, Stayed in AKL before, and would have to eat all our meals at the resort as there is nothing else around.
BLT, Perhaps not "Disney" enough for the kids 7 and 15, is the pool actually fun?
SSR Treehouse, far away from all the pools and not enough dining options.
BWV, Older units than above, but could be fun with all the Boardwalk activity and dining options.
Of course, there are a lot of PROS to all of these places that I am not mentioning -- thoughts?
Thanks.
