My family typically goes to So. Cal third week in June, as soon as school gets out. EOY we stay at our Grand Pacific Palisades unit. For the even years I have been trading into NCV, and have stayed there 3 times. There is availabilty at Lawrence Welk in Escondido for 2010, and I was interested in opinions about staying there instead of NCV. Kids will be 17 and 10.5 by then.

Welk vs Marriott NCV

I've stayed at both places. NCV in May a couple of years ago and Welk in January. I think I liked NCV's location better. Also, the quality of the units are more consistent at NCV. There is a big difference between the older and newer units at LW, so if you are trading into the resort your chances of getting an older unit are probably a lot better as you are probably on the bottom of the priority list. NCV is on the coast so you will have ocean views but not necessarily from your unit. I think I actually like the grounds of LW better than NCV; they have a restaurant on sight (Canyon Grille) but it is overpriced and the menu is so-so at best. If you're a golfer, LW is definitely your better choice as there are a couple of courses right on property, plus they have golfing lesson for free. LW also has the theatre.
If you end up at LW, skip the T/S presentation, the benefits are small, and the presentation (at least the one were went to) was long and they don't take NO for an answer very well.
