DVC Photo Thread

[ZakGrim]

(First post...Hey Everyone!)

My wife and I just had an accepted offer on a resale DVC package (200 points @ AK), and we're currently waiting on Disney for their ROFR *fingers crossed*

Does anyone have any shots of the Animal Kingdom Villas? I'd love to see some more pictures to help bridge the gap until our first DVC trip in February.

I love Kidani Village. Staying there was like a vacation within a vacation. It was fun in the parks and then we'd go home to a resort that was relaxing and peaceful. My kids loved the pool and water play area. If you can, try to get a room with a savannah view. There are public observation areas, but it's really nice to be able to watch the animals from your own balcony.

Love the pictures! Kidani is my home away from home too. Just walking towards the entrance puts a smile on my face. To me it is one of the most relaxed and peaceful resorts out there.

Sure you all know this place, the resort that people love to hate...SSR. Pictures are from 2006 and 2008.

Pictures of the VWL in 2007. As much as we love this place we haven't been back since 07.

WOW, @bigAWL, those last two shots are indescribably fantastic. I loved my stay at BLT--only managed to get in there once. And otters at SSR? I've stayed there a few times, would love to have seen those little guys!!

Thanks to @kbmum, @LivFreeorDisney, and @Mr.Skunkape, I feel like I just re-visited AKL--I've stayed there twice, and it really is like a vacation within a vacation.

Oh, and @alawrence, gorgeous shots of Boardwalk Villas! (and the one of Boardwalk Inn ain't half bad, either )

@Ariel484, Shannon, I love the angled shot of Ariel! Nice change of perspective.

Awesome pictures. What room were you in? We were on the 3rd floor (7320) in a MK view room so definitely not as good of a view as a higher floor. Still great views of the fireworks at night.

We were in 8116. It was up high (just a couple floors below the grand villas) and had a great direct view of the castle. I don't think the MK view category gets much better.
