Boardwalk

[eeyore1226]

What's the best rate you have ever gotten at the Boardwalk Resort? We want to stay there this August when we visit Disney for a week but there are no codes available that far out right now and the lowest rate I can find is $269 a night for a standard view which is higher than we can afford. Also, anyone have any comments on this hotel?

I really liked this hotel. We actually rented points from a DVC member and stayed at the Boardwalk Villas last Nov. We liked it so much that we bought into DVC via resale when we got home Our "home" resort is the BWV, which is great because this is a neat hotel in a great location. I highly recommend renting points from a DVC member. You will save a bundle AND get "home away from home" accomodations

I recently reserved a standard room there for $239/nite. Check Mousesavers.com for the codes as I don't remember which one I ended up using. I gave CRO two codes and one was $10 cheaper than the other. Ask for a garden view rather than a parking lot side. We only paid $139/nite after 9/11 on a last minute trip. The most I paid was $469/nite for a water view that wasn't nearly as nice as the garden view at $139. If you get a room above the valet area it can be quite noisy all night.

We stayed at BWI in January for $175 /night plus tax. That was with the Annual Pass discount for a standard view room. I have already booked another stay there for October (we are renting points) and it is about $120 per night for a studio. It is a beautiful resort and you will love it there!

I got an AP rate of $169 plus tax in early December last year for standard view.

We stayed there last week. We stayed in 2223 a courtyard view. If you have a standard room and want a view of the fireworks at Epcot don't get this room it faces the wrong direction. I asked for courtyard view and uppermost floor. Well this part of the hotel is only 2 floors not 5. We didn't get there until 10:00 pm and the CM said all the rooms are assigned out at 9:00pm. Maybe asking for 5th floor courtyard would have been better. Oh well I was just trying to avoid the parking lot view, it was a very quiet room and by using the end stairs we avoided having to walk all around to get to the boardwalk.

I am an owner at the BWV's too and suggest you look at the rent/trade board as chrissyk suggests to see if you could rent some DVC points. Here is the address:

If a studio is available, at the going rate of $10.00 per point you could get a room for $130.00 per night at the end of August or $140.00 per night at the beginning for a Sunday through Thursday night. Plus you pay no tax on the room.

Hey, Happy Birthday Cat...I'm a fellow Mainer !! I love the idea of $130 a night for the Boardwalk and tried to read about how to rent points on the site you suggested however I cannot open the page with the information. Could you explain briefly how I could rent points to ultimately book a room at the Boardwalk in August? This is a surprise trip for my hubby who turns 40 the day we arrive and we've always wanted to stay at this hotel so I'm really interested in your suggestion. Thanks
