I noticed on the point chart it separates into preferred view and standard but not preferred/boardwalk or preferred/garden etc like I have read. Is this a subcategory that is given to the dvc member once the reservation is being made because it is the same price? or am I missing something. Thanks in advance for the help. Wife and I are trying to rent points with a boardwalk view in november if possible and trying to do our homework.

You are correct. The points for a BW view and the points for a Preferred Pool/Garden view are the same. The member from whom you rent the reservation will specify a BW view when s/he reserves the room. If I were you I would get busy now. Already some dates in Nov. are sold out for BW view.
 
Thanks for the response...yes we are trying to finalize our plans now for the best chance to get one. Have a few options for rentals we are still looking into..(i'm a huge skeptic, so am doing a lot of research) We love disney boardwalk area and are hoping this works out. thanks again
 
i agree with jean - unless it is a very short trip, BW view will be difficult to get now (BW view is very popular, and only 20% of villas).
we've been on 2 BW view waitlists (one partial, one full) since Nov 2012, for half of our vaca in Oct 2013.

oct/nov is time for the food & wine fest at EPCOT, and both BWV and BCV are booked quickly. add in the start of the holiday season in Nov, and it becomes a busy time for DVC.
fyi, owners at a resort can book 11 months in advance of their vac, other-resort DVCers can book 7 months prior.
consider booking pool/garden, and waitlisting if BW view is unavailable.

So question??? My rez for BWV in late November states: Deluxe Studio - Boardwalk View. Does this mean I actually have a Boardwalk View or does it mean I have an either Boardwalk or Preferred view? It's our first time staying at BWV so when I read the above postings I was like "uh oh", because we wanted a Boardwalk view...

It means you actually will have a Boardwalk view studio.

It would say Pool/Garden if that was what it was.

they really need to change the wording :rolleyes2
there are 3 BWV views: standard, preferred pool/garden, and preferred BW.

yours is BW view (as carol noted). just some suggestions:
- if you have a stroller or anyone that has difficulty with stairs, request near elevators (there is only one bank of eleators in the building). if not, there are lots of stairwells; personally, we prefer those, which lead to different areas of the resort (soooooo much easier to go for a fw moments).
- higher floors have better views of illuminations, and tend to be quieter (we used to request higher, but now prefer the 2nd floor, with HUGE balconies, and a short hop up/down the stairs. we enjoy watching ppl playing the games, riding the surrey bikes, and the street performers nearby. we haven't had noise problems on the 2nd or 3rd floor, but a few others have. since we always seem to wind up in xx29 or xx31, we have a gazillion pictures of he view anyway:)).

just remember that those are requests, and not guaranteed.
(BW view is amazzzzzzzzzzing tho:cloud9:)
