Thanks for all your kind words, World of DVC 🤩 It is always my pleasure spending time with all of you 😍 If I had to pick a favorite gift shop, I would pick the BouTiki at the Poly. Tied for second place would be The Screen Door at the Boardwalk and Conch Flats at Old Key West 😃

Those are SO GREAT! We wish more resorts had them!

The gift shop at the Poly is our family fave. There is so much resort specific and unique finds there that it has to be the winner. Plus if you are a Stitch fan then you can't throw a stick without finding a piece of Stitch merch!

You are spot on! Not just Disney stuff...but unique items you can't find anywhere else - including lamps!

Love hearing all of your stories. We bought a small contract sight unseen at OKW 2018 and fell in love with the resort. We brought our grandson for his first visit to WDW on our welcome home visit. Everyone one there was so friendly and treated us as family that's what sealed the deal for us ❤

If the Haunted Mansion was DVC I’d be all about it😂 we chose OKW because it was great price on your resale market and I couldn’t wait one more day to get in❤

Sometimes the universe aligns and the perfect resale contract literally just drops in your lap, I decided to upgrade home resorts after my VBR dues surpassed $13. It didn't take long for me to find the perfect OKW contract with the help of Derek and DVC Resale Market.

I like the gift shop at OKW because it typically has the most DVC merch! Cost me a lot to get out of there last January!

That is a great point - as the original DVC it does seem to have the most DVC merch!

We chose Old Key West to three reasons, room size, point value and price. The other resorts simply can not compare in these areas.

Choosing a home resort was super easy for me. Old Key West is literally what I imagined when I first heard of DVC. It checks all of our boxes. I am considering adding on enough points to do a 2 night stay at Animal Kingdom & a 2 night stay at the Grand Floridian.

Kalepa’s at Aulani is my favorite. It was my 40th birthday and I sent my 10 year old son in with a cast member and my credit card because he wanted to “buy” me a birthday present. They were so kind, and helped him shop, and he was so proud to give me a beautiful gift bag with a sequin Loungefly mini backpack 💗

I have to give it to Jambo House Zawadi Marketplace too. I love that there is usually someone carving wood animals outside and a large selection of the hand carved animals inside along with a few items from countries in Africa. It’s one of the things I love most about Epcot, all of the items from the different countries, and it feels like the only resort gift shop that has that element. A close second and definitely the first in name cleverness is Boutiki. The Polynesian Great Ceremonial House is such a vibe, gotta love that too. I wish that we had been to Aulani, like many others, to give that one a vote… Darn, guess I’m going to have to add that one to the future trips list 😂😂😂 I love DVc so much!!!

The Screen Door at The Boardwalk because I hope to make The Boardwalk my home resort!

@worldofdvc

2 ай бұрын

We hope to be able to help you make the Boardwalk your home resort :)

Our favorite resort shop has always been BouTiki, not just because it's at our home resort, but because it has a wider array of merchandise than some other shops and the included ease of dragging all that Disney swag down from your room to ship it all home each trip. Sure, you can do this at nearly all gift shops, but they seem to have more active checkout stations to not feel guilty monopolizing a cast member for a while getting all your items accounted for and that packing slip filled out.

Favorite shop is at the Disneyland hotel
