Beach Club Villas

Disney Beach Club Villas is our DVC home. We've stayed here several times, the last one being November 2006.

The lobby is on the smallish side, but it feels more like you're walking into a home instead of a sprawling resort. I really like that you walk in the front doors and you can see out the back doors.

I find the rooms are very comfortable and spacious, especially the 2 bedroom villas. Having the washer and dryer in the room is the best thing, really it is, especially if you have kids! This allows you all to pack alot less clothes, which leaves room for more souvenirs!
I only wish that the fold out sofas would be a little more comfortable.
The bathrooms are very big and the sink outside is the best thing.

The newly remodeled Marketplace gets a mixed review from me. While I like the offerings: gelato, sandwiches, groceries; the resort merchandise is lackluster at best.

I can only think of 1 con with this resort and that's is the bus sharing thing. I could see sharing with Yacht Club and Boardwalk, but to share with the Swan and Dolphin too? That's 5 resorts and makes for some very, very long rides.
