Whatโs the best view you ever had on your DVC vacation? The view makes my trip! Would love to share and see otherโs favorite views!

Big Pine Key Grand Floridian
It's hard to pick, but in my biased opinion a Boardwalk View room is always a favorite.

Happy to call the BoardWalk, Bay Lake Tower, and Grand Floridian home!
This partial theme park view with MNSSHP from a Resort View BLT Deluxe Studio was also one of my favorites!

Mine is also Big Pine Key. I was so excited when I heard the music in my room!

Aulani grand villa view is the most peaceful view. Absolutely heaven! Heading back again in December!!

BWV has probably been the best view so far.

Thanksgiving 2010 had a studio at the GCV and we got to watch World of Color every night from our balcony.
I donโt have a picture to share, but the resort view from my previous stay at BWV studio at 10 points per night was serene
Proud CCV and AKV owner. The best moments in life are free, and the great ones are cheap!

3 Bedroom Grand Villa at VGF. The view is the magic maker for me!

Loved getting to watch Happily Ever After and Luminous at the same time from my Riviera standard view room!

Resort view room at Jambo that was the farthest studio in the Kudu trail from the lobby. We were right next to the barn and had constantly great views of giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, etc. Iโd stay in that room every trip if I could.

Big Pine Key, Polynesian Studio (3rd floor Lake View), and Aulani were all up there in terms of views for us. We also had a SS Congress Park room that had a fantastic view of Disney Springs. Of all of those, I would probably give the award to Aulani. I mean, how can you NOT give the award to a view of the Hawaiian Pacific in Hawaii?!?!
We have a Poly Tower Theme Park view coming up in October...I can't wait to see what that view is like.

At Animal Kingdom, The Feathered Friends in Flight show is big hit. To have the Owl fly directly over your grandkids or even your own head brings excitement that is talked about for the whole trip.

There are a dozen views about everything until you know the answer. Then there's never more than one.
I recently experienced Boardwalk view and loved it!

The opportunity to observe how the dirty laundry lives in wild at BRV. One can only enjoy this view after trekking down the Shining-like hallway. I have been fortunate enough to have earned this view on multiple trips. ๐

The best view I ever had was at the Rivera Resort two years ago in a preffered room.

Sunset at Aulani

Resort view room at AKL Jambo House. This is the reason we bought into DVC.

I can't remember the room number. But 5th floor, left out of the elevators, the door dead straight ahead.

That was a great location. I loved being so close to the elevators.

Two particularly enjoyable views come to mind. First was at Copper Creek, we faced Boulder Ridge and had a great view of the lake. Second was a pool view at Aulani with a peek of ocean. That was actually a great location too. Third floor Waianae tower, right off the lobby with an easy walk to the parking garage, sidewalk to go across the street, and just a flight of stairs downstairs.
