Fantastic BWV stay - BW view surprise!

[Boardwalk III]

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a note about a wonderful trip we had in early December. I had booked a 2BR villa 11 months out and requested BW View - unfortunately this was before the guaranteed view policy and somehow during the changeover I lost the BW View. I spoke with Anthony at MS and wrote a letter to Jackie Lueders copying my sales rep from several years ago, however, I remained #1 on the waitlist for several months with no luck. I also faxed the room controller before we left .

When we arrived I had the best surprise - we received a beautiful 2BR with a fantastic BW view, including nightly fireworks views of Epcot. I was completely amazed, and don't know who was responsible for the "magic" but wanted to let you all know since we so often see neagtive comments on the boards.

In fact, I have to say it was my best trip to WDW ever - I found the CM's be extremely friendly throughout, both at the Boardwalk and in the parks. I'd like to write a letetr to DVC and copy the new Senior Manager in charge of DVC - does anyone know his name and address?

We go back this October - can't wait!

Welcome home! I have a two bedroom BW view villa booked for our next two trips, and I can't wait! We've never stayed at the BWV before. May I ask what your room numbers were? And, did you have any pictures of your villa? Thanks!

I'm sorry but I don't have any photos. The room number is at home so I'll try to post it when I have a chance. BWV is our home resort and it is phenomenal - you'll love it!

Gotta love those Boardwalk views . We were lucky enough to get one when we went in October, 2002. I cried when I found out. We were right above the DVC offices in Crest O The Wave building.

Please share the room numbers. I would like a 2Br Boardwalk view when I book next week for Jan 2005 (340 days away). Were the rooms close to the elevators?

Thanks.

Our last stay in April of 2001 was in a 2 br over the boardwalk. We were on the fourth floor over the DVC sales center.
The room number was 4001...4003 one or the other.
Any way the view was fantastic! we watched the fireworks at Epcot every night. It was also nice to get up in the morning and look out over the water. Wonderful room! Our best stay yet.

The down side was that the room is a looong walk to the elevator. The other was that the patio door did not shut all the way. even with the door shut and locked it was not flush. We woke up a couple of times from the noise on the boardwalk.
But it was not all that bad. We fell right back to sleep.
