BWV Grand Villa ?

[maureenmac]

We have a GV at SSR for Jan and we are waitlisted for BWV GV. When I visited the models at SSR 2 wks ago, a CM told me there is a big difference between the 1 fl and 2 fl villas at the BW. He said if the wl comes through and it is a 2 fl GV they are "chopped up". Anyone have and opinion on this?

I have a GV for two days of our Thanksgiving trip and what was said on this Board made me request a one floor unit. That was a great thread for those of us getting GV's for the first time.

I'm not sure about the chopped up. I'm not sure how many two floor GVs they have, but the one we had:

You walked into a double door entry, straight ahead was the living room, to the left a nice stairway up to the two studios that overlooked the living room, to the right was the kitchen, dining area, and the Main bedroom.

If we had never stayed in the one floor GV, we would have thought wow. But, we were like oh, ok, it's nice.

We usually stay in Universal on the two to three nights before we check into the BW. While the rest of our group are still in the parks back at Univ., I check into the GV with a few of my friends. It is still a thrill to walk in and see the room. The first thing is the 7 or 8 lighting panel as you walk, raise one, lower another etc, too cool. Crank the ACs of course, Put on ESPN on the main tv for that home feeling, and take the walk out onto one of the six balconies, open that first cold one, Toast, and my one friend says this sucks, and the other always yells out Yeah Bo! Noone knows what that means yet, but we think it's good.

Oh, and then we have to get the rest of the family.

Thanks for the thread to check out. Guess I missed that one. We probably won't get the GV at BWV anyway, but I wanted to be prepared in case we do. We have stayed in a GV twice at OKW and loved it. My family is swaying towards SSR even if the BW comes through. I thought we should take the BW since we don't own there, we own at OKW, BCV & SSR. If it comes through I will ask for a 1 fl unit and see what happens. Does anyone know if you request 1 fl if you are guaranteed one? Thanks again.

We requested a 1 floor unit and did not get it. I wanted the 1 floor because at the time my twins were young. I was worried if they woke up early they might try going down the wood stairs to visit Grandma & Grandpa. Those stairs are slippery!

The 2 story was great and we had no problems with it. When we checked in we were told that all the 1 story units were still in use. No one was checking out the day we checked in! With so few GV, it is hard to meet everyone's request.

We loved staying in the GV.
