BWV 2 Bdrm main pool view question

[antree]

I just booked a 2 bdrm at BWV. tghis will be our first time in a 2 bdrm, we also had a studio. I knew what room to request for the studio, but I am clueless for the 2 bdrm.
I like to request 5th floor over looking the main pool.
Does anyone have a room number or know of a map that shows the room numbers?
When we did the studio, I always asked for, 5054, 56 or 58.

Does anyone know where the 2 bdrm's are on the 5th floor?

TIA

You could just request a Luna Park view.

First time at BWV, and also in a 2 bdrm, coming up in 3 weeks! I have a pool view reserved - do I need to ask for anything else other than maybe low or high floor? Seems to me all the villa will pretty much look at the same pool, other than perhaps some will have trees blocking views?

There are actually two pools on the BWV side. The main, Luna Park, pool, and the quiet pool which is in the same area as the community hall (nothing special to the pool, but it has an adjacent hot tub). The quiet pool is much further from the lobby than Luna Park and walk to rooms can be long.

Also, you don't necessarily have "pool view." The reservation category is actually "pool or garden view" and thus you could end up in the "activity lawn area" (see link in my post above for room areas) on which there has never actually been any activity for the almost 17 years I have owned there, and view is mainly of channel leading to Studios. As to requests, I usually suggest high floor for any pool/garden view, I also request Luna Park area ti be closer to lobby than other areas but other areas are just fine too..

We're going the week between Christmas and New Year's, staying in a 2BR. I was thinking of requesting quiet pool, 1st floor. It looks like you can walk directly out of those rooms onto the grounds? Is that right?

DH and I were at BWV in May, and had a high floor where we could see IllumiNations from. It was great! But it doesn't seem like you'd be able to see much from the villas side, even on a high floor. Or do I have that wrong?

You probably can't walk out of your room, you can't lock the door behind and there is sometimes vegetation in front of the rooms.

you can't lock the door behind

Now why didn't I think of that? It's so obvious!

Thanks for helping out! High floor it is!!

We stayed in a 2BR Luna Park view room in August, on the 4th floor. We loved it. Not a long walk from the elevator, and a fun view of the ToT and the Swan/Dolphin. We were in 4046/4044, which was a lock off.

That confirms it for me - request will be high floor, near elevator.

Thanks so much!!

iTenor1500 is the center of the hall? where the opening is to look down to the other flors? I was trying to figure out 5046/5044. One more question was there any tree blocking the views of the pool?

I was undecided to request this room or 5072/5074..I always stay around 5056 to 5050 in a studio and love the view. this is my first timne in a 2 bdrm and it so hard trying to fiqure out a request. I know the rees start becoming an issue at some of the rooms.

Thanks

Back when the resort first opened they actually did use the "activity lawn" for games such a badminton and croquet. Then in 1998 the Evil DVD Squatters came along took over all the first floor rooms in that area and built their offices right on top of the activity lawn without ever compensating the owners for their intrusion. A number of years later they packed up and permanently moved over to Saratoga Springs, the offices were town down, and the activity lawn restored. Since being restored however, I have not seen the lawn used for games like it was in the early days. My guess is they probably threw the equipment away.

As to choice of rooms, I have been in 5040/42, next to one you mention and view there is very good not just of pool but you see Tower of Terror in the distance. I would be wary of rooms 5072/74 or those close to it because view could be at least partly the backside of the clown and the roof of Leaping Horse Libations.

Thank you so much, putting my request in today
