BWV Rennovation Photos

[Ms. WDW]

I'll be there next sunday...........i wonder if there is any chance for a renovated room?

That's exactly what I was thinking!! I'll be there starting Saturday. Boy that would be "sweet" getting one of those newly renovated rooms!!!

Have a great time!! I know I will!!

Wow! thanks for the pics! I love the teacup lamp....

Any idea if they are going to make the chair some sort of sleeper in the livingroom? Something like AKV and BLT? I would LOVE that!

thanks!

There are only some 28 rooms which are renovated (although the sofas have not been recovered as of yet). Here's some that it comes through!

The chair that I saw in the living area of the 1 BDR is the chair that has been in the BWV forever and is not a sleeper chair. Now that doesn't mean that they won't replace it ... we were in a HA room so I know some of the stuff is different.

Not that it isn't possible, but do you really think there is enough room in the living room for a sleep chair? I mean, the chair sits in front of the connecting door as it is, and when used as a two bedroom, I can't even imagine going into the second bedroom while a twin sleeper would be pulled out.

It's not like the sleeper chair would be folded out during the day. It's a great option not only for parties of 5, but for those who need more sleeping flexibility. We have 2 kids, DS14 and DD10 so this arrangement would work nicely for us, even though I don't think we'll ever go back to a 1BR unit since we've become so spoiled with the 2BR units.

My wife and I will be celebrating our 29th anniversary at the BWV in Nov, so I'm looking forward to seeing the new rooms in person (Fingers crossed that the renovations we be finished by then).

I'm hoping with you! We'll be there in November as well!

Thanks for posting. Very happy to see the hallway carpet finally getting replaced. We had 5006 in May and as we left to room you could really see how bad the carpet had gotten the closer you got to the elevators.

Sorry if I missed this, are they also replacing the TV's with flat screens or do we still have the old Sony's?

The carpets really are showing their age ... although I miss the old footprints in the sand carpet. I do like the new colors and design of the new carpet.

Yes, they are replacing the Sony televisions with flat screens. I am not sure which brand. Our tour was of a HA 1 BDR and Studio. Those do not have the new TVs as of yet since the special order dressers/stands haven't arrived yet. They will get them ... eventually!

Thanks for the info, too bad next visit is over at OKW.

They've installed LG's over at AKV so I'd bet they'll be LG's also, probably gets a nice big volumn discount.

Are they refurbing every single room?
Won't be there until JULY/AUGUST 2010 but will be nice to know that we are guaranteed a nice new room if so.

 

[Pete W.]

Are they refurbing every single room?

Yes. All rooms are supposed to be done end of this year.

 

[DVC Grammy]

Love the new look! It's so much brighter.
I'll be there for 12 days in January and I hope the work will be done (or at least my room(s) will be ).

We'll be there in September...our first BWV stay. The new look is so fresh! My fingers crossed for a renovated studio.

 

[Goofy's apprentice]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the improvements. We will be there in October so maybe we won't have a new room, but next year hopefully.

I for one thought that the hallways were badly in need up renovating. The carpets especially just looked so tired and worn. I do agree that the new carpet and wallpaper lack some of the charm of the old ones, but I vote for clean and new. Overall the resort is wonderful and this will make it even more so.

All of the rooms on the Inn side are completed. All the rooms on the Villa side will be completed by the end of January.

The work should be done then

Here is some pixie dust that you get a renovated studio ... and that you will post photos

DJ's DH and I just our BWV. I agree that the hallway carpet has been beat for at least a year or so while the most recent rooms carpets have held up relatively well.

I really will miss the picket fence in the hallways with the Mickey heads ... wish that they could have incorporated it into the redesign.

Happy Anniversary, Jen and thanks for sharing the pictures. Everything looks lovely!

 

[Debi]

I gotta say, I'm not a fan of the new wallpaper in the hallway, but the rest of the rennovation looks great! Can't wait to see it first hand in August.

This post seriously made me look at BWV for our add-on. There are some great deals out there, and I think some points there may be in our future.

Both of our contracts are at BWV. When we added on to our original BWV contract I tried to talk DJ's DH into looking at BWV or OKW or SSR (AKL and BLT weren't available yet) but there was no way.

We just love the BWV ... the location is the best for our family as we can walk to EPCOT or DHS. Those are the two parks where we spend the majority of or time.

Our first stay was in a 2BDR at OKW and I loved all the space ... but I hated taking the bus or driving to the parks.

Although the rooms at BWV are smaller than OKW you just can't beat the location and of course a BW view. Nothing like sitting on your balcony after a long day of park hopping with an adult beverage and watching IllumiNations and then Wishes

With the freshened up rooms it will be that much better
