1 Bedroom BWV ?

[Hopefully]

Hi!
Does the one bedroom at BWV have a desk in the Master Bedroom? Is this bedroom the same size as the BCV? Is there a closet in the entryway? We have stayed at the BCV 4 times, but this will be our first visit to the BWV. I saw pictures on another site and the Master Bedroom looked smaller.
Are there any noticeable differences in the Villas, besides Theme?
Thanks for your help.

No desk, just end tables on each side of the king bed. There is a closet in the entryway. I haven't stayed in a BCV 1 bedroom but another difference I know is the table in the kitchen area. BWV's is round with 2 chairs, where BCV is a bench and the table is oval. In looking at the BCV pictures, the toilet is in a separate room from the shower & sink, at BWV they are all together.

According to the dvcmember website, BWV is bigger, 814 square feet vs 726 square feet at BCV.

It depends on where the unit is located. We have been in one bedrooms where there was a LARGE deck stretching across the whole unit - access from both the LR and the MBR. We have been in 1 bdrms where we had separate balconies to the bdrm and the LR. I think we have even been in units where we had a balcony access from the LR and no access from the bdrm, but I might be wrong about that. Depending on how high up you are and whether you are are on a corner unit, etc the configurations can be different.

We have stayed at BWV at least half a dozen times and it is always a surprise. By the way, the BEST balcony we ever had was in the handicapped unit right over the Screen Door. People often don't like to get the HA units if they don't need them, but I gotta say you could have a full blown party out on that balcony - it was huge!!

Thanks for the replies
MikesMon, I was asking about a desk, not a deck, but you read my mind. I was wondering about the decks too. I have requested a deck off of the Master Bedroom. I wake up much earler than everyone else. I will sit on the balcony and read. It is important to me.
I am surprised at the differences in the bathroom. I really like the configuration at the BCV. So we will experience something new.
Thanks Again

Almost all the 1 bedrooms at BWV have a balcony off the bedroom. They either have a separate balcony off the bedroom and the living room or one long one for both. I did have a 1 bedroom once where there was none off the bedroom, and just a small one off the living room. It was 5051, which is on the corner between the Village Green and Boardwalk. The other 6 or 7 times I stayed in a 1 BR at BWV there was a balcony off both.

We are staying in a 2 bedroom BWV - preferred view.
Our first time there. We will be there for the F & W Fest.
We are very excited about it !
Anyone have some thoughts on the room or the view ?

Here are the floor plans for the 1BRs at BWV and BCV from DVC's public website: www.disneyvacationclub.com Unfortunately they are not drawn to the same scale but you can see the differences in the layout and furnishings.

LisaS,
Thank You Very Much for the floor plans. That is very helpful and I appreciate it.
I didn't know that DVC had a public website. I thought they only had the Member site. I will have to take a look.
Thanks Again

In looking at the BCV pictures, the toilet is in a separate room from the shower & sink, at BWV they are all together.

That is incorrect. I have stayed in BWV one bedrooms twice and as the floorplans posted by Lisa show, the bathroom is split into two sections (one with toliet, sink and shower, the other with sink and whirlpool) divided by a door. The other thing to note about the BWV one bedroom is that in addition to being bigger than the BVC version , it has two balconies as opposed to the one at BVC.

When you visit the website, take a look at the 360-degree tours. They are available for all of the villa sizes (studio though GV) at all of the resorts except AKV.

An even better place to look for the specific things you asked about are the photo tours of the BCV and BWV 1BRs on tagrel's website. Here are links to those two photo tours:

I was referring to the toilet itself being separated by a door like it is at BCV. At BWV, the toilet, shower and small sink are all together. At BCV, there is another door within that room for the toilet. So someone could be using the toilet privately while someone else was using the shower at BCV.
