Hi all,

We are going to WDW the first week of June 2013, checking in sometime between May 31-June2. On past trips we've always stayed in the value resorts but we now have a timeshare through RCI so this will be our first trip to stay in one of the timeshare (DVC) resorts. We are finally within the 6-month reservation window so *hopefully* some availability will start popping up on our searches. In the meantime, does anyone have resort recommendations? Two of our top priorities are a) a resort that doesn't require a ton of points, like Bay Lake Tower. And b) a resort that is in close proximity to the parks to reduce travel time to/from the parks. (As much as we loved staying at Pop Century...it's way out there and takes forever to get to MK!) So, based on those two criteria we've narrowed down our top choices to Wilderness Lodge because we can take the boat to MK (but it might be more points, not sure), and also Beach Club Villas and Boardwalk Villas because they're so close to Epcot and HS. AKL is close to Animal Kingdom but too far away from everything else. Does anyone have an opinion on Boardwalk vs. Beach Club? Or any of the other DVC resorts? I think Beach Club might have a nicer pool and also has the Sandcastle Club childcare (BTW: Has anyone used the Disney childcare facilities? That's another area where I could use some extra info.) We just want to have our ducks in a row so that when a resort becomes available we can jump on it!

Any and all opinions welcomed! Thanks in advance!
