Haha!! I’m sure I’m not alone lol. Yes I’m a BCV fan
. I don’t like Riviera due to many reasons but mostly blah theming. Also don’t like the Skyliner. AKL is too dark and rooms are an eternity away from the lobby as is parking. Not to mention far from everything except AK which is not a big draw for me
That’s interesting because I hate fish and the smell of it. BCV has only ever smelled of fresh ocean tides and fresh linen. It houses my two favorite restaurants as well as the best pool onsite. Couple that with a great jog in the morning to BWV, walking distance to Epcot and movies on the beach, and it’s BCV (or BWV) for me!!All of the other resorts don't smell of fish.
I knew I was not alone!!
Wait you mean an open-air salmon buffet isn't appropriate to be stuck in the middle of a resort hotel?All of the other resorts don't smell of fish.
I will be at AKV with you. Announcement of the building of AKV is what pushed me over the edge to buy DVC. Love staying there. The lobby at Jambo is incredible and there is no place else that I can wake up in the morning and walk out and greet a couple giraffes.

As mentioned, I do not like fish nor the smell of it and never been remotely bothered. And yes, having dining options in a resort (not the middle of it unless you're walking to Yacht Club) is perfectly acceptable. It only ever smells like the ocean.. so much so that I equate the smell to everything good at Disney. BWV also smells wonderful in it's own way!
Fine. I will be the lone voice of Team Fancy; I am unashamed. VGF, RVA and VGC. Cash at MiraCosta, Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, and HK Disneyland Hotel. I will also only ever arrive in a top hat, wearing a monacle, riding a penny farthing.
before she shuts this topic down, I haveto say I'm a "fancy", "theme", and "location" person. That's why VGC is my ultimate resort. No other resorts check these boxes so completely IMO.I have a good feeling about this one but it's right on the edge.
I can't imagine feeling underdressed anywhere in Disney World.
People at Riviera dress like they're playing tennis at the club. I agree with @Stargazer65. And I say this as the wearer of $120 flip-flops.* I don't fit in at Riviera.
That's pretty good services to get a check-in mid ROFR.
I'm so conflicted on BLT. When it's new, it's one of the best resorts on property. But it shows its wear and tear in between refurbs worse than anywhere else.
In the 4 months since we started sending SSR contracts to ROFR, we visited Disney World, and while we were there, had time to visit SSR, Poly, and VGF. We liked the feel of VGF (fancy, LOL), the additional dining options, walkability to a theme parks, the spa!, and 10 more years of contract. So we figured if we could get a decent price and get it through ROFR, we'd be pretty happy with VGF. Fingers crossed, it would be really nice to finally get a contract through.I am sorry you had to do this 5 times!I hope it comes through for you. I am curious what prompted you to change from an international seller contract at SS to VGF? I am reading on these boards that international contracts pass ROFR (typically) and the cost of SS is much less than VGF (unless of course, you want to use the points to stay at VGF, then this makes sense!). Good luck and I hope you hear back soon!!
I don't see that. I was in a LV 1BR last August and the room was in great condition. The pool area could definitely use some TLC though. That slide is leaking water like a sinking Titanic and the splash pad is just sad. But once BLT gets its hard refurb in 2024, I think it will shine above the other monorail resorts. Of course, I own there and I'm completely biased.
ooh I didn't realize they were getting a refurb in 2024. I wonder if BR will have theirs done before then. lol
I think @_auroraborealis_ and others have been saying that they should use resources to get BLT done first. Because there's no hurry to get BRV done, it's just great....everyone agrees, just ask.
