We got in to Boardwalk last night. After a long day of traveling (we waited almost 40 minutes for ME too and my wedding dress hanger left me with a big bruise on my palm from carrying it around all day) we were very happy to see our room at BWI fit our #1 request: a King Bed!

The congratulatory balloon was also a nice touch! We got the email that our room was ready before our plane even left Salt Lake City!
My only bummer with the room is our teeny tiny balcony. No sitting out here for us together - there's only one chair.

Overall though we're thrilled with the room and will be very happy here through next Sunday.

Have a great time! I just got back last week and I am missing it so much.

Congratulations!

That is one, umm, cozy balcony, but at least you got a king bed which is MUCH larger than that balcony. Hope your first full day is filled with FUN! Thanks for the photos!

LoL Laffin @ Cozy..... By the looks of it , the chair can barely stand being out there by itself...LoL

I'm hoping to get one of the larger ones on the villa side..Village Green request I put in, but not sure if the refurbs are at ll completed or how far along they are...

Hello all! I wanted to share a few pictures from my Disneymoon last year. We stayed in a boardwalk view studio room at BWV. It was heavenly to walk onto our balcony in the morning and soak in the view! It was a wonderful stay.

We are finally at the 30 day mark for our special Mother/Daughter (7th Birthday) trip!!! Can't wait to stay t BWI and all the exciting things we have planned. This thread is AMAZING and has been a HUGE help!!!

Those are terrific pictures, and an amazing view to enjoy every morning. We had booked a BWV view this year, but changed it to a standard view to get an extra night stay. I'm thinking that maybe I should have went with the view.

I would choose the extra night too That view is amazing, but I'd always choose to extend the "magic" as long as possible...you can find a bench (or even a swing at BC) somewhere around crescent lake where you can sit and take in the gorgeous view! DH and I did this when we were at BC in June. I wouldn't pay for the view from my room unless I were planning on spending a lot of time there (and I know some people do).

September 6-11 - I'm on the home stretch!
Staying in a one-bedroom villa. Are there any updates/info on the refurb progress? Will requesting a specific floor make a refurbed room more likely? We have a garden/water (non-BW) view.
Thanks so much!

That's why I changed it to the extra night. We'll be there 6 nights now, doing parks 4 of those days. We don't do a park the day of arrival, and we take a one day mid-week break. We'll hang out on the Boardwalk or pool those other nights.

I think that's a silly decision, the FAQ threads came about to avoid the same questions being asked over and over again as separate new threads, so that's going to go back to happening again. But it's their boards, they can do whatever they want...

FFC was one of the main reasons why we booked to stay here next year. I think it's very poor practice by Disney to not announce updates/closures before selling holidays. I booked a holiday at a resort that included a deluxe dining option, and I won't have one on my visit.

I second Kook's suggestion of Yachtsman's instead. It's a quick trip across the water (boat across or walk around) to the Yacht club, and we also think it's the best signature right now. I understand your frustration though!

Have a great mother/daughter trip.

I hope to hear all about it when you return.

We are a family of 5 looking to book a Studio at BWV. DVC by request indicates that Disney won't let them book 5 into a Studio, and my attempts to book a Studio with cash for 5 guests have also been unsuccessful because our party "exceeds maximum capacity." Has anyone booked 5 into a studio yet? Seems like there should be plenty of refurbed Studios by now. If not, has anyone heard when 5 in a studio might be possible?

Had 5 days pop up on availability this morning Oct 18-23 ! woohoo We were booked at Jambo House which is great, but BWV is our home resort AND our first visit for Food and Wine makes BWV perfect!

Had our waitlist come through today so we will be at the Villas Oct 22-24. I know that they are undergoing renovation. Any world on the progress?

Super excited. We stayed in a cottage a few years ago and loved it.

I can't answer your questions, but maybe just a guess that they are waiting until all the studios are refurbed to switch them all over at once so that they don't effectively have two different booking categories for refurbished or not. Good luck!
