BWV Garden/Pool view - room request for best view?

[Canadian Disney Mom]

We are doing a split 3 way stay - we check into BLT on June 23, BWV June 28 and AKV July 4.

I need help with my room request for BWV as we have never stayed there before. We are booked into a Garden/Pool view Studio. We are hoping to get the best view possible. We've had a Boardwalk view Wait Listed but it did not come through. Are there any partial Boardwark view rooms that are still considered garen/pool? If so, what should I request to try to get one.

If there are no such rooms, what are is the best thing to request? There are 4 people in our room - 2 adults, a 9 yr old DS and 14 yr old DN.

Thanks in advance!
Jess

The studios facing the Village Green have a partial boardwalk view. This is the lawn area where they rent the surrey bikes between the Villas and the Inn. Just request "Village Green".

In case anyone else is wondering, the Village Green rooms are only studios, no 1 bedrooms or larger. There is a 1 bedroom on the corner that is considered a boardwalk view.

had one of those studios the first time i ever stayed at BWV, it was great! can't remember which floor we were on, i think maybe 3rd. it was an extremely large balcony too. that balcony was amazing.

thanks! Should I request a higher floor to try to maximize the view?

Are these considered "standard view" or "preferred"?

THANKS!!!

P.S. My DH and I are considering trying to rent points to stay at BWV late Jan 2013 in a studio. What do you think our chances are of finding something available for an entire week?

Preferred pool/garden.

You should be able to get preferred pool/garden at 7 months for that time.

DebbieB - I was really very interested in this response!! I booked a 2 bedroom with BW view. I was going to call member services and request that we not look upon the Village Green. But if I understand you correctly, all 2 bedroom villas with BW view will actually be looking at the boardwalk?? That is such a relief for me! (Taking brother and sister in law for first time!!)

Thanks again everyone. I have all of my location requests in - BLT LV Studio (North tower, high floor , even room #), BWV Garden/Pool Studio (Village Green), AKV Jambo Savannah (Arusha sav - kids want to make sure we have giraffes)!

I am going to have a hard time sleeping this week. This is our first stay at both BLT & BWV. I hope I love them!

Both times that I've had the garden/pool view we've faced the quiet pool. The only "problem" is that the trees have grown so much that both 4th floor villas (one on the "main" hallway, and one down the wing that backs the Luna Park view rooms) you couldn't see more than a glimpse of the water. However, you could see the canal, Tower of Terror, and atleast from the one room the Swan/Dolphin, which makes a fine enough view for me. And it was quiet sitting out on the balcony, another plus!

Yes, all 2 bedroom boardwalk views are above the boardwalk, most are down on the end near Big River/Jellyrolls. The one 1 bedroom on the corner of the Village Green is a dedicated, which means it cannot be made into a 2 bedroom.

Thanks for the advice! We got a room on the Village Green - room 4053. Great viewing the boardwalk facing ESPN!
