The slots have been kinder today and I was able to switch from a boardwalk pool/garden 1 bedroom to resort view today. I say this is kinder because im preserving more points for longer stays the views here dont look bad for resort view at all, more like a garden view like vgf. Great point chart for a 1 bedroom at 19 points but I didnt notice a large gap from weekday to weekend of 19 to 27 points.

Yes i noticed that too! Hard to get those, barely any of those, I may put a waitlist for sh*ts and giggles, but I dont know, they say its great, but watching people walk by isn't really appealing to me i guess I'll have to experience it! Still trying to replace the whole damn thing with beach club ughhhh

Opinions please. I have one night booked after D23 at PIT for a Duo Studio Preferred View. When I went to book a single night to be able to do MM (after our stay at Coronado for the convention) PIT was the ONLY option. I figure a bunch of people didn’t get MM tickets and canceled their reservations because there now is a Preferred View Studio at Riviera open for one point more. Should I swap? I was excited to stay at PIT but also won’t be spending much time there since MM is most of the evening. Riviera is more convenient for the event since it’s at Hollywood Studios. So instead of having to drive I would be able to take skyliner back. We’ve stayed at Riviera before for a week in a two bedroom so it wouldn’t be a new experience for us.
I also currently have a waitlist I assume will not happen for Kilimanjaro Club studio.

For me it would be a yes solely for RIV being closer to HS for MM.

RIV for me as well but because I value the real bed

the views here dont look bad for resort view at all, more like a garden view like vgf.

See map - most of the Resort view rooms look out to the entrance drive, some look toward the tennis courts. The most sought after request for 1BR are the x123 villas, which are at the corner and are larger. But due to window placement they cannot accommodate a Murphy in the living room, so they still have the queen sofa beds.
