We used to use the couch cushions on the floor (when our youngest was a 5th in a 1 BR) and it worked perfectly but not sure the pullouts have detachable cushions anymore
BWV rehab is supposed to be done later this year.
This stinks. The one change I had hoped for in the 1-2 bedrooms didn't happen...a sleeper chair.
BWV 1BRs have the connecting door to the studio in the living area. If you look at the floor plan, you can see that there isn't room to add either a sleeper chair or a murphy bed to the living area of the 1BR. A sleeper chair would block the connecting door and there isn't enough wall space between the kitchen and the connecting door for a murphy bed.
And in the 2BR case both rooms would have still had access to both outside and the hallway in case of fire so it being open would have only been a concern for the occupants logistics, not fire code. So, would the concern of it being moved be enough to not have it? Furniture gets moved in the rooms anyway so I wouldn't think so. They don't all have to be huge pieces of furniture and there is already a chair there, isn't there? Or am I just thinking of the dedicated 1BR's.
We usually stay in a dedicated 1BR at BWV so I don't know if the wood chair is also in the 2BR lockoffs. But even if the same chair is in the lockoffs, it is lightweight and smaller than an opened sleeper chair would be. If someone needed to move between the 1BR and studio in an emergency (for instance if there was a fire and there were young children in the studio portion) it would be no problem moving the wood chair.Which, when booking a 1BR wouldn't have made any difference. Only for the 2BR lock-off would it have.
But, the studio isnt utilized with the one bedroom. We don't book studios, but choose the 1 bedroom. Ugh...bummer.
It seems a lot of people "missed the memo" a year ago that this is how it would be, an additional bed in the studio only, and are upset that the 1BRs stayed as they were originally built, so you're not alone in being surprised by what was done. Fortunately there are other options for people who want to put 5 in a 1BR with sleeping spaces for everyone. While some of the older resorts (BWV, BCV, VWL) have floor plans that make it a challenge to change the occupancy after the fact, they changed what they could (OKW, because the living area in the 1BR is huge and could accommodate a sleeper chair) and included an additional sleeping space in the design of some of the newer resorts (AKV except the Values, BLT, VGF, maybe others?)
