BWV one bedroom boardwalk view - What to request?

[BLTtinkerbell]

I just booked BWV one bedroom boardwalk view for our next trip and am wondering what request(s) to make?

I usually request "High floor" when booking boardwalk view. The boardwalk can be noisy at night but the higher up you are, the less you hear it inside the room. The only time I was really bothered by noise was when we were on the 2nd floor and woke up one night at 2am when some JellyRolls patrons were out on the boardwalk yelling. After that experience, I always request to be on a high floor.

I would second the request for an upper floor room. I'm not a fan of the first floor rooms of the first floor Boardwalk view rooms (there are only a couple of them). There is no privacy on the patios, and when I stayed in a studio, the shrubs were overgrown so that you couldn't see the view while sitting on the patio. My friends have stayed in the one bedroom right next to Jellyrolls, and have reported that they have heard noise from Jellyrolls (not loud enough to know what they are singing, but loud enough to hear--though it was funny the night I was there with my friend while here toddler was asleep in the next room, and the piano players were joking that the goal was to wake up here kid).

I always request top floor and typically get 3 or 4. Had 2 once, it was noisy, especially because it was June and people were out late. Biggest fear is getting one of those first floors.

On the first floor BWV rooms, are you able to use magic bands to enter from the boardwalk/patio?

No

There are also bushes in front of them to give a barrier.

As noted, your patios are blocked off from the boardwalk so you really cannot exit to the boardwalk via the patio or enter from the boardwlak even if you leave patio doors unlocked. Possibly there are some that desire those rooms but I personally recommend avoiding them if possible, including because with curtains open, those on the boardwalk can see in.

As a general rule, higher floors farther from the elevators have better views and are quieter, but are less convenient. Lower floors and close to the elevator make getting to the lobby/pool and out of the resort easier. If you are good at taking stairs - finding the staircases at BWV with a room at the far end of the hallway is great, but if five flights of stairs is a lot or you have strollers, you are likely elevator dependent.

In my experience, the end result depends on the trip - when the kids were in the growing gills stage of using a pool, having a room on a low floor close to the lobby put us next to the stairs that got us to Luna Park with just one (maybe two) flights of stairs. With my mother in law - then in her 70s, right of the lobby made for fewer steps in her day - although a higher floor would have meant somewhat less noise.

If you are ever assigned a ground-floor room, explore the hallways outside the room and you will find there are a few ground floor exit doors distributed around the building. You can enter the building as well through many of the ground floor doors but there may be some that are exit only.

I don't like ground floor rooms for the reason drusba mentioned but they are convenient to get to the pool and the boardwalk once you find the ground floor exits.

Thanks for the info!

Are the top floor balconies any different? We're staying in a one bedroom next month but would like to sit and people watch. Looking at pics from touring plans it looks like the top floor balconies are more like walls?

My kids will want to swim. We don't really care about the walk. Don't care about fireworks either. Would like to be able to sit and people watch. Don't want ground floor.

Does that equal any known "request zone"? LOL

It depends on where. If you are at the end of the hall (crest o the wave), they are open.
