- Do you have a favorite DVC resort?
We like to stay at Beach Club Villas during the Food and Wine Festival because it's within staggering distance to Epcot.
Saratogo Springs was nice because it's withing walking distance to Downtown Disney.
And the kids loved Animal Kingdom Villas, especially Kidani Village (and the pool there.)

- any other thoughts?
I never thought I'd like doing laundry on vacation, but it's so easy to throw a load in in the morning before heading to the parks and come back later to clean clothes. Makes packing so much easier since we only have to take a few days worth of clothes instead of something for every day. And love that I don't have to come home from vacation with a mountain of laundry to do.

We love using our points for cruises, too.
