In 2020, we were supposed to go on our first Alaskan cruise, so we rented out our Aulani points. When we realized we'd be able to get our points back (yes, we're refunding our renters), we were hoping to go to Aulani next February, but I'm not hopeful that Hawaii will even be open by then. A few weeks ago, our extended family asked us not to visit them in NC in October as we had planned. My son has the whole week off from school, so I'd have to take the vacation days anyway! We looked briefly at HHI, but then I had the crazy idea of WDW... and for some reason, my mask-hating hubby said yes! (I already told him that if he gets kicked out for non-compliance, he's on his own.) I looked long and hard at BWV, because it looked like a fun place, it's near the Skyliner, DHS, and EPCOT, and there are lots of nearby restaurants. Ultimately, we were drawn back to VWL because we already love it there, Copper Creek looks awesome, we love Whispering Canyon, they have two QS options, and both pools are open. I'm hoping for CCV 1-bdr from Oct. 12-17, with BRV as our backup. We stayed at WL for our honeymoon in 2008, because it fit our style the best, and still does.
