DVC villas vs moderate resort
Posted: Mon Feb 15, 2016 11:36 am
Okay, so we're booked in for 11 nights at Caribbean Beach 
in September, but I've been thinking - always dangerous! - and now I think I might want to rent some points to stay at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge for just the first couple of nights. Now, we're operating on a tight budget so we'd be squishing into a studio, which is fine, we've done it before at the GCV and the Caribbean rooms aren't exactly going to be roomy anyway. What do you all think, is it worth it? I've stayed at the VWL before and love, love, LOVE it there. I know resort hopping is pretty easy at WDW, even for a family of five. My main concern is that if free dining is offered, our villa dates won't be eligible, but that's only two out of 11 nights so it's no biggy. What would you guys do?
