Better chance of clearing WL for BWV Garden/Pool or Boardwalk view for 1 bedroom?

[ngl]

Anyone know of a source that has the amount of rooms for each category for a garden/pool view v. boardwalk view at BWV? We don't care about the view so trying to play the odds of what rooms there are more of and thus may have a better shot of clearing WL. This is for a one bedroom. It may be immaterial but thought I would ask (we are booked at CCR but trying to stay closer to EP & HS during this visit. Have another WL for different trip or I would WL both options). Thanks in advance!

There are many more “pool and garden” view than Boardwalk views.

In general, the P/G category makes up about 60% of the villas at BWV. Standard and Boardwalk view are each about 20%. If you want exact numbers, check out Shamus' thread and count for yourself:

Maybe it is only me, but though I can still get to the page of the link you provided, the links in the post to room location maps no longer work. Instead, I get a page that says Error 522 and the error identified is is a "host error" at "photopost.WDWinfo.com"

I'm getting the same thing. I will see if there is anything site technical admins can do. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks so much for the info! Very helpful!

Photopost was a component of vBulletin. We lost that when we switched to xenforo. The images were moved to DISboards Photo Galleries when we went to xenforo, so they should still be available, but photopost links won't work.

BWV 1 bdrms:
30 BW view
188 Pool/Garden view
and although you didn't ask, there are 60 standard view 1 bdrms

Thanks for the exact breakdown.
Off topic, I always thought your name was Lisa. Where did I get that idea?

Couldn't find the photos in Photo Galleries. This is the best I could do (searched for posts by Shamus)

So how does one go about trying to find them. Those were the best BWV room maps on this site.

If you know who posted the images, you may be able to locate the images in their Photo Gallery. Click on the 'Photos' link in the toolbar at the top of each page and that will take you to the Photo Gallery - https://www.disboards.com/media/

All of the images which were moved from the old Photopost program are there now.

I hope this helps (and I hope it works too)!

No luck searching photo gallery for images posted by Shamus. Also looked at photos of BWV & those posted under DVC. I don't think Shamus' photos made it through the transition.

That is because Shamus created them but did not post them, WebmasterDoc actually did the posting. I found them starting here (check box to right leads to others) https://www.disboards.com/media/quiet-pool-pv.62916/

Thanks. Time to replace some bookmarks!

Unfortunately, it appears two of the eight Shamus BWV room maps, Tennis Court and Courtyard views, are missing from that group. Have not yet found those anywhere.

 

[drusba]

Found the last two: https://www.disboards.com/media/bwv-courtyard-preferred-view.62897/ and https://www.disboards.com/media/bwv_tenniscourtsv.62902/

And all eight seem to be in a group that starts with the Tennis Court view https://www.disboards.com/media/tennis-court-sv.62910/ (screen change at bottom not side)

Yes, it's time to replace some bookmarks, please. Many of the links in the DVC Resource Center sticky are nonfunctional. Hopefully the mods can find some time to check everything in that sticky, update the bookmarks that can be updated and delete the ones that can't. It's frustrating to search for something that's supposed to be there and find a broken link; it's even more frustrating to refer someone new to that sticky and then realize I've sent them on a fruitless search.

And many thanks to @drusba for the link to Doc's BWV room maps. I wanted to note the room number we had in January and couldn't remember it.
