Hi there,
I've read a TON on the forum about the ins and outs of all of the DVC properties and I've seen quite a few of them in person, so I guess I'm looking more for some insider secrets rather than basic info...
I'm planning on celebrating my birthday at WDW end of June/early July along with my (also disney-obsessed) bf. I'm hoping to stay in a studio, but other than that, I'm at a loss for where I should choose.
Here's a few of the things I'm looking for:
*Somewhere that is more on the relaxing/quiet/slow side. I'm not really worried about being close to the parks, because we're kinda local and passholders, so visiting the parks isn't a huge priority. There is a chance we might not go to the parks at all while we're there and will just chill at the resort.
*Somewhere that has some interesting exploring to do. We're both Disney nerds and have been a million times. I don't think either of us have stayed at any of the DVC properties, so we'll want to literally wander around and just look at stuff. The more wandering the better. We once spent almost an entire day just walking around Coronado Springs and looking at things.
*The cost isn't super important, but unless it can be really justified, I'm thinking GF and BLT are probably outside of the price range we're looking at. If you have some compelling reason why GF is the absolute best choice, I'd probably consider it, though.
I think that covers the main things. I appreciate any/all opinions you can share!
Thanks!
**Edit: This is kind of a milestone birthday trip for me, so if any of the resorts have any special/unique things that would make the trip special, I'd love to hear about them, too.
