Boardwalk View!

[emlutz23]

Just to clarify so if we do decide to give it a shot next trip... I was under the impression you either got prefered view or standard and thats it. And you'd just put in a request for boardwalk view. But if i am understanding everyone correctly than when you make your reservations they'll be able to tell you then if you can get a boardwalk view room or not??? And if they say yes you WILL definitly have one??? (the floor and stuff is up in the air i understand.) Thanks so much for the information on this. It'll be a huge help to me. Other reviews are also welcome! tips about the resort its self???

For the best view of Illuminations, request 3rd floor or higher with your boardwalk view room.

For us, the walk to MGM or EPCOT was much faster than waiting/taking the boat. It took us 10 minutes to MGM and 5 minutes to EPCOT. The boat was nice to experience once, but I like to walk to both parks.

The boardwalk (and loop around the lake) is great for some early morning walking/running/exercise. That is if walking around the parks isn't enough exercise!

That's about all I can think of. Just enjoy your stay and your view!

MissMet, I just cancelled a 1br standard view for your dates yesterday! That is too funny!

We are going to get a two bedroom instead, and we are going to try for the AKL savanah view. Wish me luck in getting it! And best of luck to you in getting the room at BWV you want!

That is funny. Well, I'm leaving for SV AKV room in 27 days! I'm an owner at SSR & AKV. Wish I was AKV & BWV owner, though. Good luck in getting that room & thanks for sending me some good luck as well. I'm hoping because I'm on the waitlist at 7 months out I'll have more of a chance to get it.

Which are you most hopeful for? The BW view or the Std V? I have been on a wait list for the BW view since about the 10 month mark for our trip next week, it has not come thru and my wait list will expire tomorrow

My fear is I will wish I was an AKL owner after we stay there, in addition to being a BWV and BCV owner! We already own a lot of points and there is no room for more

I really want the BW view, but if I can't get that I'm annoyed I'm still paying the points for a preferred view when I couldn't careless if I'm staring at the parking lot or pool. That's the same to me. So I want BW, but if I can't get it I want standard, so I guess I'll waitlist both?

I know the feeling. That's where I'm at. I'm maxed out on points between SSR & AKV, but I'm dying to own at BWV. The only difference is I couldn't careless for SSR. When I first bought at SSR, it wasn't hard to get the room you wanted at any resort & it was a much better offer to buy at SSR. My parents had points & we never had an issue getting a room at BWV. Not anymore. It feels like since I purchased it's impossible to get the room your heart is set on. Quite the predicament.
