We've stayed in the studios and it's high enough to likely need to fashion something, even the inflatable rails. I would guess it's about 2ish feet off the floor and also too, the mattress is inside the tv table area so it's surrounded by wood. I do know that the studios usually have a pack and play but that might be rough if they're used to their toddler bed. But the pull down murphy is def higher off the floor than a toddler bed.
For DVC there are 3 views if you are booking with points- boardwalk, pool/garden, and standard. So there is a bookable boardwalk view. The BW view is popular and can be hard to get from what I understand, I haven’t stayed in one. Honestly I’m not sure if you are booking a DVC room with cash through Disney, I would assume there is still a bookable boardwalk view.
As PP said, you don't request a Boardwalk View at BWV, you book it. It's a booking category. As PP also said, they can go fast.
Can be very hard to book. We almost always book ours 11 months in advance. From what I understand the boardwalk view DVC rooms are not often available for cash, if ever.
Are they worth it? I can deal with the minimal theming of the area with a cool boardwalk view of the epcot ball
I just had a Boardwalk view room on the Inn side, and they can be kinda noisy till 2am (or later since people can stay outside if they want). It didn’t bother me because I was always exhausted and got back to my room late most nights, but I know my kids wouldn’t have slept great if they were with me. Also to note, I couldn’t see Spaceship earth from the room or the Boardwalk, the villas have a bit better vantage point, but there are other buildings and trees in the way so you really only see the top of spaceship earth from a lot of views over there. It’s not bad really, you just don’t have a grand view of it. I really just love the view of the water and other resorts, especially at night, but I think I’ve had better views of SE from inn side garden view rooms. I’ve also had a villa there that was a pool view with a fantastic view of ToT, and that was much quieter than the boardwalk (we were over the quiet pool not the main pool).
Not sure if you're trying to book direct with Disney for your studio or another method. FYI I just took a quick look at the BWV rooms on the map by category, there are only 30 boardwalk view studios. Which sounds like a lot but out of 532 total villas, so that's not that many. I know certain DVC room types are impossible to get and I'd guess this is the same. Might have better luck booking on the Inn side and just doing a water view and trying for a 2 queens/sleeper if space is needed. Also might help to scope the DVC threads and see what BWV owners say about this room category. It might be impossible for DVC owners so then even more so for non-DVC.
FYI from the DVC boards-looks like the studios get gobbled up fast. I'm sure Disney has their fair share of what they hold back for cash guests/non DVC but not sure of percentages.
How did your booking with dvcreservations go? Thinking of booking with them.
It was great, no issues at all. Even used them again for our upcoming September trip.
Thanks for the info!Wow a page THREE rescue!! Lol..BW fans where are you!!
We have had 2 recent and really terrific BWI stays...I took alot of photos that I'm planning to share...such a lovely property...it's really nice to stroll around...I would encourage anyone planning a stay here to do just that..you're sure to find a nice spot to just sit and relax after those busy park days..or even before! Anyway..off to try and organize the pics I plan on posting..
Ohhhh..and...a bit of info that I learned at our last stay...probably already shared around here..but worth a 2nd mention IMO...Dundies Sundries will b turning into a quick service coffee spot..much like Bellevue Lounge is currently..and there will b lobby seating associated with it aswell...I'm guessing/hoping it will b where the former lobby concierge area is...time will tell...looking forward to all of the refurbishments and new additions to this very lovely resort! Just really hope it doesn't lose the wonderful turn of the century Atlantic City seaside resort feel that it has...
Happy Friday everyone!!
Heh, that's the room I want. Cut's the walk to HS by a third.
