I need to clarify. . . Mom and Dad were becoming less and less satisfied with their timeshare company. It wasn't a DVC membership. They used to get a great deal of value from it. As the years passed, the value diminished. I think WBC showed them they could still stay in condos at a reasonable cost without a timeshare membership. They made three trips to WDW last year and stayed at WBC every time. She keeps telling me how great it is and how happy she was that I introduced them to it.
My two are now 20 and 18. I can't even believe I am writing those numbers. Where does the time go?? Even with a family of four, as they entered their teens, hotel rooms were tight for us. I try to book things like Homewood Suites or the bigger rooms as much as I can. Sadly, DH passed away a couple years ago. My son doesn't always want to visit the places my daughter and I like to visit. I have become so accustom to the larger "suites," condos, and rooms, it is hard to stay in a conventional hotel room even when there are just two of us.
I hope your 13 YO is able to adjust and is happy. If your 13 YO is a pool person, the lazy rivers and hot tubs are fun at WBC. Since the property is directly beside Caribbean Beach Resort, I really feel like I am in the middle of my favorite place. We had a split stay between WL and WBC a few years ago. After staying in condos, my kids were ready to check out of WL. It was a beautiful place, but we felt like sardines.
