Which DVC resorts have the biggest selection of merchandise

Since we haven't been to them all,(yet) which resorts have the best selection of stuff to buy?

We have been to OKW and to SSR. At that time SSR had more of a selection then OKW did

SO need input DVC people

Is there a place at BLT to buy stuff or is it at CR?
Thanks

I'm not positive about this, but I think if you mean general DVC merchandise, all the DVC resorts have the same selection. If you mean resort-specific merchandise, I think AKL has more than the others-- haven't checked them all thoroughly, but it always seems that the shop at Jambo House has a great selection.

In December I stopped by every DVC resort store at Walt Disney World. SSR and BWV had the best selection of both DVC and resort-specific merchandise.

Kidani and BLT had the least.

You have to go over to the CR. BLT has no shops.

It seems that the quantity of DVC merchandise has decreased in recent years. OKW used to have a great selection, but last time we were very disappointed. I'll be checking out AKV in about a month, I can let you know.

Agree but there still isn't much DVC merch at CR (from what I have seen) compared to other locations.

From what I have seen in the past, SSR and Kidani had a bit more than other resorts in terms of DVC-specific items. Hopefully now that they have introduced some new items, there will more more available at all DVC resorts.
