Everone has their own opinion, and if some people can only say negatives about the BW, it is amazes me that the hotel is still open and manages to run to almost full capacity most of the time.
The worst parking lot of any Disney hotel, I belive, is the Grand Floridian. Imagine having a very small self parking lot miles from the lobby, and you need to cross a street with traffic lights to get on to GF property. Yes they have valet parking, but not everyone wants to pay $15 a day.
The BW lobby is probably the quietest of any of the deluxe hotels, and is in no way hectic with a circus type atmosphere. If you want a hectic lobby, nothing beats the BC, GF, or Poly, which attracts throngs and throngs of visitors. If you want a hectic zoo like crowded pool, stay at the Beach Club.
Long hallways, sure they might be considered long by some, but the hallways at AKL and BC are also long. Also, I would much rather walk in the Boardwalk hallways then walk outside at the Poly (try staying in the Tahiti or Rapanui buildings and walking outside in the rain to the lobby) or at the GF if your building is far from the lobby.

We are thinking of trying BWV or Boardwalk next trip but I really don't know much about it. Can anyone that's stayed there please share the pros and cons!
We've stayed at the BC and LOVE it, but the BW always looks so pretty across the way. Thanks!
Yes I realize that the BW has a circus theme. The poster meant a circus like atmosphere in a derogatory way - as to hectic, busy, chaotic, etc.Circus elephant and great big clown at the pool. Circus atmosphere at Luna Park. Carousel in the lobby. Circus atmosphere. Carnival barkers on the boardwalk. Circus atmosphere.
The theming is a circus.
But we aren't fans of the Boardwalk because of the busy-ness of it. We prefer the quieter resorts/villas. We like to come back to our villa after visiting the parks and having a nice quiet place to relax. We don't find that at the BW. But others love it.
You are very close to dining at Epcot which is a plus to me.

I still stand by my original comment - the BW lobby is by far quieter and more relaxed the the Poly, BC. WL, GF or the Contemporary.

...I love everything about the Boardwalk. I love walking around Crescent Lake. I love the porch overlooking Crescent Lake near the lobby. I love the lobby. Its very whimsical...
