[abk96]

see ya there - DD & i are arriving 5/7
just 6 more sleeps (5 sleeps if you consider i'm working 8AM to 10PM on monday, so will probably just go home to shower, change, and finish packing before our 6AM flight ).

i'm really looking forward to relaxing

Have a great time!

Please try as many things as you can from the bakery and let us know how everything tasted.

We tried the Jersey crumb cake and the egg/cheese/bacon biscuit and they were tasty i did not get a taste of my husbands cake though but he said it was mire dense than a usual crumb cake and had lemon icing. I was the first group in the day it opened.

Sandy and Penny, we are counting on you both for post-rehab BWB reviews. Go forth and conquer a lobster roll - do it for your thread

Lobster Roll ... be mine! I must have you for the good of the universe! The Boardwalk Inn & Villas universe anyway

How cool is that! To be among the first.

So many seem to be leaving this week! We're very excited for you and safe travels and a fantastic vacation to all of you

They become little kids at WDW and hate sharing, don't they? You should have gotten a special opening day pin for being the first in

I did get the pin. I noticed when i got back to the room the fresh writing had smeared a bit. I think he ate while i was putting my makeup on LOL

How exciting to be there first thing the day they reopened.

I usually don't go for crumb cake but I love lemon. Just added one more snack to my list.

I have to say, i am not big on very sweet desserts but i love pastry like stuff. I looked for the blueberry mickey ear muffins they use to have but didn't see any. That is really what i wanted at 6:15am

My daughter will be very upset about that. She loves the blueberry muffins. We are staying club level so maybe there will be some muffins there but not in the shape of Mickey.

I am quite positive there is only a DVD player in the 1BR LR, just got back from there and have stayed at BWV over 30 times. But if you want you can move the DVD player from the LR to the BR, the connections are all color coded and it's easy as pie. However if you wanted 2 DVD players in the room, sadly you are out of luck. I do think there should be one in both the LR and BR, but unfortunately that's not the way it is.

Here is a pic of the shower. They redid the rooms since this pic was taken, so the tiles are different, but the size and shape of the shower is still the same:

Thank you so very much for posting this!! I just noticed that you did. I doesn't show up on my cell app. I was upset to find out that there is no where to put your feet up if you want to shave your legs, but someone on the boards said that I could probably fit one of the small tables from the balcony in there. Based on your pic, I think I can!!
Thank you!!

I added this information to the first page:

BUSES FOR EARLY ADRs (Advance Dining Reservations)​

Buses for the Magic Kingdom and Magic Kingdom Resort Area will start running at 6:30am DAILY.

Buses for Animal Kingdom/Animal Kingdom Lodge will start running at 7:00-7:15am DAILY.

Buses for the Disney's Hollywood Studios (covering the Epcot Resort Area) will start running at 7:00-7:15am DAILY.

Buses for Epcot (Princess Breakfast at Norway) will start running at 7:00-7:15am DAILY.

This information is valid EVERY DAY, and for ALL DISNEY RESORTS serviced by Bus transportation.

These buses are for Breakfasts only, and should not be used for general park access. Always let the driver know where you are going upon boarding the bus. Most times, the driver will be able to take you directly (ie: Contemporary, for Chef Mickey's) but sometimes this is not possible. As such, you should always allow time for a connection when going Resort to Resort. Actual arrival times will vary by location.

Do the two Bedroom Villas have a washer and Dryer ?

 

[abk96]

Do the two Bedroom Villas have a washer and Dryer ?

Yes. Only the studios do not have them.

 

[TaraPA]

Yes. Only the studios do not have them.

And in case anyone didn't know, studios have access to free washers & dryers in the DVC laundry room.

I have to remember not to eat off the balcony tables!

That's a nice change, will make things a lot easier. Now if they did the same thing for dinners.

We are so thrilled to be staying at BWV at the end of the summer (8/31-9/7)!! We have fallen in love with WDW, and stay at Moderates (CSR and POFQ). We lucked OUT being able to trade our Hawaii RCI points for this trip at BWV -1br. Woo HOO!! Question - I'm assuming (HOPING) not, but are RCI traders into BWV treated like second class citizens, or will we not even notice a difference from the check in cast members? We have LOVED just soaking up the magic from booking the trip through DW to the last moments on the ME back to the airport... Just not sure of the differences between DVC / Villas and a regular Moderate stay thru Disney. I know there is not daily mouse keeping (not a problem - head over heels that we will have a kitchen and in-unit laundry!), but will we still get a Key to the World card (room key, pass tickets, charging privileges)? We just can't wait for this trip - SO EXCITED!! But not sure if there is a difference with us getting the room via RCI or through Disney, directly. Thanks for any input / experiences!

It's actually not a change, it's something I was confused about on the WL thread so I did some research and found the early ADR info. on AllEars - those buses have apparently been doing this for years. We never do pre-park opening ADRs and if we did, they were resort ADRs which we walked to or we took the boat over to another resort, so I never knew about this perk.

Are you all settled back into reality and unpacked?

Nice to see you over here.
It's a good thing I don't really care too much about gravy

Welcome! I don't know anything about booking with RCI, but I can tell you that in my experience, CMs tend to treat every guest with the same level of respect. Your party will get KTTW cards and if you have purchased tickets and dining, those will be on your KTTW card, too.

Happy planning!

A lot of close up pics on the Boardwalk Bakery food items AND a review of the lobster roll!

Yeah, now it will feel like "forever" until our September (mostly resort only) Poly trip, but then luckily it will be a short wait after that until our November BW visit!

All in with the mouse this year on our vacations...
