First WDW DVC Trip Report! BWV, BCV, PIT VS RIV AND VERO! BWV First!

[Girlstar30]

Just posted BCV trip report! I hate to be a Debbie downer, but it wasnt the most positive experience so perhaps skip that report for some more positive ones!

YES! The fact that you can use resale points makes it easier to justify IMO.

I would suggest the tower though. The longhouses don't cut it for me. They are a bit dated.

I felt the same when I toured the longhouses, they were really dark, but I kinda like that for sleeping

We toured the longhouses. They were in fact “long”

Love hearing your experience so far. I've got 4 nights at a 1 BR BWV BW view booked for spring break next year, so you're making me even more excited for that!

Looking forward to hearing about your other resort stays. Sounds like an incredible trip!

It truly was incredible! I love calculating how much it would have cost without being DVC to stay in these rooms and feeling very satisfied with my purchase I think youll be very happy at the Boardwalk!

I debated a lot between BWV and BCV - just read your BCV review, and feeling even better about my choice. That said, I'm sure I'll try out BCV in the next few years too.

I never want to steer away people from resorts as we all have different tastes, but it really was me reporting how that trip went down

YES! I had to keep my TV on 24/7 for light in the PVB deluxe studio. This was pre-refurb, but it didn't get any additional overhead lighting

Its surprising because dark doesnt really give island vibes. Pit is such a stark contrast!

My.Poly Island Tower Report is posted!

I know people were curious about why we chose Poly over Riv, the report is up

I agree with you on Boardwalk. Love it there, but I just cannot get past only having 16 years left. So I just try to book into it when I can.

Oh and I have stayed there in a p&g room 4-5 times now and never had the tree view. I know for sure I have had village green at least twice (might be 3 times) and twice for an actual pool view. I also always request high floor which might help a bit too.

I think from now on im just going to request high floor instead of "Luna Park Pool view" and see what happens!

I request high floor or top floor on every reservation. I hate having people above me. I live in a condo and the person above me loves her vacuum and vacuums for what feels like hours at a time on a nearly daily basis. I never want first floor again.

$1,700 to sit at the center table in Cake Bake Shop?? My goodness!!!

$1,700 to sit at the center table in Cake Bake Shop?? My goodness!!!

I know!! When they told me that i was like $170?? And shes like no $1700 but it will go towards the food and drink im thinking this isn't a wedding honey, Gwendolyn Roger's must be on a good one, its not that serious lolll.

They did say I could be on standby meaning if someone else that didnt pay to book it, we may be able to sit there. Up until they sat us they acted like we weren't going to get to sit there, even told me at the podium on check in that it wasnt going to happen and then they walked us over and sat us there Its definetely a special table, very decorated, privately enclosed, rotating center table to pass along your food and drinks, but they are reaching with that cost

I cannot stop thinking about this table. How many people does it seat? Did you happen to get any pictures?

I found a stock photo of the outside online, since the pics I have are my family invading it lol. Right now the decorations look more Christmasy.

We were a group of 6, 3 adults and 3 children and fit very comfortably, I would say maybe up to 8 can fit with no issue.

I notice there seems to be a lot of Sweet 16 and Quinceanera celebrations here and I wonder if they pay

I also included the middle "spinning" table (that was my photo) so you can see it is convenient to spin rather than reach around for things and the items being peddled haha

 

[Girlstar30]

Im not gunna lie its a cool experience and you feel special in there but i think $500 going towards food on a family of 6 would be considered reasonable
