Just called dvc and we have a standard booked through rci. We were hoping to try Congress park but that is preferred, so I’m wondering if I should request Paddock, closest to CP? Are there any DS views from that closest building in Paddock? Is it still an easy walk to the DS walkway?
We stayed in Paddock three years ago and enjoyed the location. My kids ended up liking that pool better because it was a little quieter and less crowded. There aren't any DS views, but it is still easily walk-able, especially when you use the bridge. Don't let the non-preferred location get you down, we liked Paddock enough to request it again for next month.
Have a great time!
