This looks like WDW is taking a page from DLR playbook. I wonder if it’s going to be a permanent change.
Re-booked our family trip from this month to Christmas week. I had said many times that I'd never go at that time, due to costs and crowds. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. The crowds should be smaller than the typical amount over the last few years and with the parks open for over 4 months by then, the added overhead and precautions should be well advertised and understood.
Any part of WL is the best place to stay during the holidays--it was made to be festive and evoke traditions. Even if you didn't go into a park, it would still be a marvelous vacation.Re-booked our family trip from this month to Christmas week.

I thought about doing that as well, hubby likes the idea of being somewhere warm for Christmas but then I would miss Christmas with my grandbaby (3) so I decided against it. Just going a couple of weeks a head of time will have to be enough.Oh, I'd love to go for Christmas week, even if we didn't do much in the parks. Just waking up there on Christmas morning would be magical.
As you surmise, the proximity of CC to MK is wonderful as you can take either the bus or the boats, the latter of which is almost like another ride at Disney. You are also correct that the pool isn't anywhere near as fabulous as the one at BCV. You would have access to two pools at CC, but combined, they still don't equal Stormalong Bay. As for transportation to other parks beyond MK, we've found the buses at WL are generally good.Hi all, we stayed at Beach Club through buying points in May 2018 and we loved it (just a studio). We plan to come again to WDW next year (end of July) and part of us says just stay at Beach Club again as it was a great location and the pool was fantastic - only thing I didn't like was poor proximity to Magic Kingdom. So I had a look at CCV and I do like that location (for MK), but obviously the pool won't be as good and not as central to the other parks. What are people's thoughts on comparing the two? I think being that time of year, a good pool is a must have as well!
Thanks!
Best wishes in your decision.
With all the changes, I originally booked for Thanksgiving 2020. Moved it to late January 2021. And now I have booked the end of February 21 and the end of April 21. I thought two separate stays would mitigate the risk better. And delaying would allow for a more “normal” visit. The whole booking adventure made me appreciate being DVC more. Lots if flexibility and knowing I have a great place to stay, no matter when it will be!
Hi everyone! I hope you all are safe and doing as well as you can during these crazy times.
I have a CCV question:
My fiance and I had our honeymoon tripped booked for CCV and our wedding had been postponed. We might have a small elopement so we kept our 'DisneyMoon' reservations (just cancelled the cruise part). So we are really hoping to celebrate in Disney July 16th to July 25th! The parks will be open and we are pretty sure we will be going!
We have a reservation for a studio with walk-in shower. What are the best room requests to put in? This is also our 'Welcome Home' trip! It is going to be a memorable trip FOR SURE!
We did a split stay in Oct 2019.....and had the best of both worlds! Concentrated on DHS/Epcot while at BC and the other two parks while staying at our home resort of CCV. Stormalong Bay was indeed fantastic but the ambiance of CCV cannot be comparedHi all, we stayed at Beach Club through buying points in May 2018 and we loved it (just a studio).

I haven’t stayed in a studio before at CC. Are the walk in shower rooms the better rooms for studios?We have a reservation for a studio with walk-in shower. What are the best room requests to put in? This is also our 'Welcome Home' trip! It is going to be a memorable trip FOR SURE!
