Just back from 2 weeks at wdw!!! 10 days of it spent at BWV in a preferred view studio! We got sooooo lucky! We had a studio plus on the 5th floor with a fabulous boardwalk view, view of spaceship earth, eiffel tower, and I could see both the sunrise and sunset from the balcony!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

The room was smack dab in the middle of the BW side, above Big River Grille on the 5th floor! The room was very clean, and we paid to have housekeeping everyother day of our stay. It worked out perfectly, one day they cleaned the room so good, I thought I walked into the wrong room!!! (seriously!!) :)

Our stay was phenomenal! We love the BWV, we did get a "welcome home" upon arrival, we checked in at 11am, obviously our room wasn't ready, but they told me we got BW view, when we came back at 3:30, our room was ready. We really enjoyed it! We used the quiet pool, and enjoyed late night soaks in the hot tub!!! (we don't have any kids, so the quiet pool is better for us!) (although while we were staying at the polynesian, I did go down the slide at the volcano pool!!!) :)

We loved the Boardwalk Bakery! (the cinnamon yummies were the best!) spoodles has the best breakfast buffet! we also had a great dinner there! and we had lunch at both ESPN, and the Big River Grill, both were surprisingly good!!! we also had a great dinner at hte Flying Fish!

BWV were awesome for us! thinking of trying to get an add on there rather than waiting for BCV, we'll see!!! :)

In July we'll be staying at the YC, but we'll be returning to BWV in October!!! :)

One more thing! I don't know if you remember my previous post about a month ago, I didn't know if I should call to tell them we were celebrating our anniversary, well I did call MS to tell them, but nothing happened, although maybe it had something to do with our fantastic view!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

for anyone who wants to know, they put a new carpet in the arcade while we were there, it looks really nice!

We were also in a preferred studio just above Big River Grill April 29-May 2. When did you check in? We loved it-the view was spectactular. Sitting on the balcony was as nice as visiting the parks [we did enjoy the flower show-and walked to MGM for the first time-the walk was MUCH shorter than we thought it would be-only 10 minutes!]. We were also there without kids-kids will be with us in August.

Hi everyone!!! :)

CLC -- we checked in on April 29 also!!! we were ther til May 9th, then moved to the Polynesian! what floor were you on! :) funny we were neighbors!!
I wish I was back there right now soooooo badly!!!! :D
When I checked in they told me that the walk to MGM is 25 minutes! They must mean if you crawl!!! LOL! It only took 10 minutes!!! :) Isn't it such a nice walk too??? I love all those magnolia trees!!!

kmr - my room number was 5031, I don't know how much luck you'll have requesting certain room numbers though, but I guess it's worth a shot!!! :) good luck!!!

Princess Angel and kmr- We were room # 5029-you must have been right next door! It was fantastic-certainly a great way to celebrate an anniversary. We enjoyed the boardwalk activity and love the friendship boats-they mean 'boardwalk' to us!
If anyone is interested in a boardwalk view this one was great-not near the nightclubs but you do hear ringing noise of the basketball game until 11 or so. For us it is just part of the fun of the boardwalk.

Thanks guys. If I can't get the exact rooms, at least I'll know what area to request.

Laura,
I'm glad you had a super time at BWV, our first DVC trip will be 9/29-10/5 in a 1BR preferred view. I sure hope we can get a BW view for our first time!! Before DVC we never ever thought we would be able to stay at BW so even though we own at WLV, BWV had to be our first trip!!

Hi Dreaminofwdw!!!
good luck on your view! and have a fabulous time!!!
also, dh and I have owned at OKW since 1997, guess how many times we've stayed there - 0.
that's right, never, we always stayed at the GF with points, but now we want to go more often, so we're staying at home resorts, and when we stay at other resorts it's with an annual pass discount. we just love the BW area, and will be looking to do an add on soon, either at BW, or when BCV open!
don't feel funny about not staying at your home resort, you're not alone!!! :)

Laura :)
