Doing a split stay in October, BCV(already have stayed) , but first stay at BWV, EXCITED!That clown slide is AWESOME! How could anyone not love it? Sure, bunnies and puppy dogs are nice sometimes, but we need gorillas, gators, and psychedelic clowns to balance it out sometimes too. There's a reason that this world has them all.
I was going to post something similar but you beat me to it. SAB is vast and the ambiance is great there but what we usually want to do at the pool is swim around a bit and then relax on a lounge chair for a while. The quiet pool at BWV is perfect for that.
The novelty of SAB is great, but it becomes tiresome when you can't find a seat at pool. I like that Boardwalk's feature pool is a bit quieter and more low-key.
To me it's nice but not that nice. It's certainly not dramatic enough to drive resort choice or to miss if not there. I think they should have gone that route with SSR and made a mini waterpark there as well as having lake homes.
I realize there are many possible choices and a lot of variables for such issues including cost, anticipate sales rates and end return. I do feel like they missed obvious opportunities at SSR & Poly but then again it's not my money unless I chose to play in a given sandbox. I think there would have been challenges for a more robust pool there working within the existing infrastructure but I think it would have been worth it and that it would have had a return on investment from Disney's side as well. The lake homes or golf homes would have affected the options otherwise and is a less obvious option in terms of return on investment but I think it could have been workable there as well. The other thing I think they could and likely should have done is under building parking. Combined with the lake homes, they could have done both the current volume and the lake homes I suspect because of the smaller footprint.
That's ok - one less person to fight for a chair with.
To each their own
Just one obs re BWV it's a nice resort but I totally agree with others I would not now buy at a resort where it is possible to try but I haven't. The parking is not good there if you drive. Also I prefer the BCV because ( this may not apply to you ) I am disabled and find BWV quite difficult to get around. Beach Club for me is more accessible.
SAB I was so excited by from what others had said. I was still looking for it and said to my wife no surely that can't be it? Lol. I put it down with the dole whip. I must be the only one who is like meh...
