EDIT: Also, don't worry about the room prices, go with the lesser costing resorts rather than the high priced ones. We stayed at Coranado Springs and found that we were gone out of the room for the entire day so the room felt like a waste to us. The only negative to that is the resorts are further away from the parks then the ones close to Epcot and the middle of everything.

We've stayed at beach club twice, several times at the moderates, Riverside multiple times and Caribbean beach once, not a fan of CB.
Once at beach club we rented points from a DVC member for just the mrs and i, loved it! Next time was the whole family, didn't enjoy that nearly as much, wish we hadn't spent the extra $ that time. Having said this, the back door entrance into Epcot, which is by far my favorite, from the Boardwalk area was so freakin cool!! I will be goin back when my wife and i schedule another trip for just two.
and we have never paid for a meal plan, waste of $, imo. no way we would eat enough to come close to needing that. plus we've started using garden grocer to pre-order some groceries for the room, they deliver! it seems expensive (it is) but saves SO much $ vs paying as you go or doing the dining plan.
