I have only stayed at a handful of DVC resorts thus far, as I am a relatively new member. However, Ive been to and have spent a decent amount of time exploring them all (except for the non-WDW location resorts). Im not sure if its fair to judge a resort until you actually stay there, but I have developed preconceived notions of them all, nonetheless.
Ive had a chip on my shoulder about BLT since it opened, as I never felt the resort fit the skyline. I thought it detracted from the look of the Contemporary, and almost appeared to be an afterthought. However, I must admit that after staying there in a 1-bedroom lake view w/ a glance at MK, I was hooked. I didnt think I would ever enjoy the cold, contemporary decor, but it turns out that I loved it. And being able to walk to MK was a huge perk for me. Also loved venturing up to TOTWL for a drink after a long day in the parks. My opinion changed so much, BLT is probably the leading contender for my next add-on. Just goes to show that judging a resort before staying there is a good way to sell it short.
Ive also had pre-conceived notions about SSR. It does appear to be apartment-complexy and way too spread out. Nonetheless, after my experience with BLT, Im going to give this one a go next week. There seems to be a large number of people who had the same feelings towards the resort before staying there, but have changed their opinion after a stay. Im hoping the same turns out to be true for me.
For me, AKV doesnt do a whole lot, mainly due to the remote location. I absolutely love the main lodge, the pool and the restaurants (Boma is a must on every trip). However, the location is just a downer for me, unless I had a rental car, which since the advent of DME, I seldom do. AK is my least-traveled park (usually only one day per trip), so this is partly why the location is such a negative for me. Also, looking out at the Savannah does very little for me. I really dont think staying at this resort will change my opinion, as my dislikes (location, savannah) are things that cannot be changed or overcome.
VWL is my home away from home. This will always be my favorite, unless the second stages of Poly DVC turn out to be something really special. The MK resorts are my favorite, GF included, so Im sure that I will enjoy VGF. I also enjoy the EPCOT area resorts, so I am excited for the time to come for stays at BWV and BCV.
