Flooding at BWV?

[tseitel]

I’m reading on multiple sites that BWV has had a pipe burst, flooding some rooms early this morning, and setting off fire alarms. It seems to be mostly the boardwalk views that have been damaged by, in some cases, 2” of water. ?!

I saw pictures on facebook that someone posted. The ceiling either fell down or was pulled down in the hall. All the pipes were exposed and the water was pretty deep. It was quite the mess!

 

[EM Lawrence]

Oh no!! What a mess to have to sort out for all involved! I hope nobody had personal property get ruined!

 

[Shelleyfs]

Not my picture, but this is what I was trying to explain above.

Looks like the 4th floor!

Oh wow! Not too stoked that we have 205 BWV points. They have been having water pipe issues for a few years now, I do believe. A shame.

 

[CarolynFH]

Oh no! First ceilings here in Texas, now BWV too! I hope it won't cost us too much to fix it.

We are heading there on Tuesday. This makes me so sad. I hope the damage could be contained.

They sure have. August 2018 we got moved from a studio to a 1 bedroom villa due to a severe leak coming up through our floor! It was a mess.

According to the poster on Twitter it was the rooms on the 2nd floor which flooded. They have fans running in Screen Door and Big River. Hope it’s fixed by our trip in May.

Oh no! We’re headed down in a couple of weeks and we were lucky enough to snag a boardwalk view studio at the last minute. Hopefully they have enough inventory and we don’t get moved

We are on the 2nd floor right now. Checked in this morning. Probably 10 big fans running in the hallway to dry out the carpet. Big tarp covering up the hole in the ceiling. One post in the hallway is mush - so much moisture behind the paint. This morning, they had fans in several villas. They had the doors to some open and the places were a mess. Floors ruined. Bedding and couch cushions all in piles. Like they would have to gut those rooms.

As a boardwalk owner, I hope there is insurance to cover this. It is going to be expensive.

When we were last here in September, we had a whole day with no hot water and now this hot water pipe burst. What is going on?

Thanks for the report!

We're headed down next Monday. Report says it was the second floor rooms that flooded with a Boardwalk view. We're in a 1 bedroom with a pool view. Fingers crossed it's not that bad...

We were on third floor in 2018 and had water coming up through floor and walls. So that seems to line up with second floor problems. It was literally coming up through the floor seams.

At least this is happening during a time that (I assume) they will have rooms somewhere to accomodate affected guests.

DVC still operates at full capacity.

So I was on BWV waitlist and just received confirmation today. But now I don’t know. I mainly want to stay there because friends will be there. If we get moved will it be somewhere better?
I was actually finally getting excited about being at Saratoga near Disney Springs because of the midday timing of our arrival.

I am wondering if it was the studios that were damaged.
Any reassuring words?

Although BWV does appear to be full this week, rooms have not been fully booked at DVC resorts across the board lately. People seem to be cancelling last minute. Although that trend seems to be slowing.

While still a disappointment, I'm sure most would take a 3 bedroom grand villa at BLT, CCV or AKV as an upgrade from a smaller room for their trouble. lol

If this is going to take rooms out of service for awhile, it does appear as though they have availability in other rooms starting next week. I'm guessing you'll see them pulled any minute to relocate people who's reservations will be affected. Obviously, they won't get BW view.

We got a flooded room at CBR once. Had to move at midnight with little kids the night before Thanksgiving. Couldn't get a room upgrade, but they had a CM pick us up in the morning in a private van and take us to the gates of HS and handed us anytime / anyride fastpasses.
