At which DVC resort do people party the most?

I don't see a huge difference because most people end up at Epcot to drink.

Rooms or the resort proper? Two totally different questions.

As far as the rooms go, I don't know that I ever remember seeing what I would call traditional "partying" anywhere.

As far as a bustling and active restaurant, lobby, and bar areas, I think you'd have to look pretty hard to top Jambo House on a happnin' night. OKW outside area is probably a close second, but Gurgling is so small that it prevents it from rising to what I would call a "partying" level. Damn good time there though. Tends to be a late afternoon/early evening thing there more so than late night really in my experiences. No other DVC really rises to the level of either one of these in my experience.

Edit to add: BWV used to be busy at night. In a good way. But when they removed the live entertainment, they virtually killed it. ESPN not opening back up yet isn't helping either at this point. #MissedOpportunities

We were at BWV last week and several of the performers were back!

The first thing that popped into my head was Jellyrolls, so I'm gonna say Boardwalk.

Pick your poison…
I have been to all of them when they’re packed, and all of them when they’re a ghost town. Actually, I don’t think I ever recall Tambu Lounge being a ghost town.

Sounds like Jambo House and OKW are where it’s at.

Tambu and Trader Sam's are both treated as destination bars.

People at Riviera do NOT party. I’m here now and the pool bar closed at 10:00. :-(

Pool bars always seem to close early.

Probably boardwalk….. after drinking around the world!

Whichever Resort I’m staying at!

"Back in the day" (pre covid) you could find what you are looking for at Atlantic Dance Hall on the Boardwalk, not sure how it is there now or if it's even open these days. When PI was open that place was insane! Miss it.

Don’t think that I would really consider any of the DVC Resorts as a “party central” sort of resort. As others have said, sometimes one or more of the lounges might be a fun place to be….sometimes ….and sometimes not so much.…but if you’re looking for a partying place like you might find at a Caribbean resort or perhaps one of the FL coastal beach cities…..you’re not going to find it at a DVC Resort.

Atlantic Dance Hall is still open Thursdays to Sundays, but it never seems that busy.

We saw jugglers and a few different acts but we didn't stop and watch.

the best place for partying has to be near bwv at world showcase and then roll home or take the boat .
OkW has a small bar with outside seating and can get lively when the Irish arrive and get
Bwv inn has a lively bar depending on the time of year
Have enjoyed many a good party at the beach club bar .
staying at SSR preferred close to Party cental at THe springs especially the Irish PUB

You know? Now that I think about it, it's kinda pitiful what these responses are. You would think... somewhere...

We stayed at BWV several times during the last year, most recently for the 50th anniversary (October 2021).

During each trip, we have noticed an increasingly lively Boardwalk. For the 50th, it almost was back to normal.
