We returned on May 7th from a great BWV stay. We had a standard view studio on the 2nd floor that overlooked the sales/office area. We could see the tops of the Swan and Dolphin hotels. Our balcony looked down at a little garden area. The first of the week the garden had wildflower type flowers and then later in the week they tore all that out and planted little pinkish/red flowers like at the entrance to Boardwalk. Boy, did they do that fast, too. I wish I could landscape that fast.
When we checked in we had to wait on our room until after 4:00 p.m. because they said they had shampooed carpets that day. The room was in terrific shape. No sign of any bed bugs by the way!
We went to Epcot and enjoyed all the flower displays. Really beautiful. The weather was great except for Monday the 3rd, it rained all day. But, we were sunburned any how and needed a day off to shop.
We did miss the VWL (our main home) so we made three trips over there to eat and hang out some. We spent half of our checkout day over at the VWL before we went back to BWV. While sitting in the Iron Spike room we met the manager of the VWL. She was really nice. She came through twice picking up towels someone had left on a seat cushion and questioning some kids that seemed lost (they were hiding their walkie talkies in the flower arrangements!) Very nice lady. When we ate at Roaring Forks earlier that day we noticed something kind of strange, we saw a boy and girl come out of the kitchen area that didn't look like they belonged there. They were tatooed heavily and wearing dog collar type things around their necks and generally wandering around everywhere. I guess they could of been kids of an employee, but it did seem weird seeing them come out of a service area like that.
Had a great trip! Can't wait to go back in September to our home at the VWL. Although I like Boardwalk I still missed my home resort.
