Hello all!
I'm at BWV right now and we are loving it. I haven't read all the pages of the other thread, but I'll tell you what our experience has been.
We are in a one bedroom sv on the 5th floor. We were very excited to get a brand new renovated villa! I swear, I think we may have been the first ones in this villa. We could smell the new carpet when we walked in. Not bad, just new smelling. It's only a few doors down from the elevators, which is great, too. I love the decor, nice paint colors and drapes. The carpet is very well padded. If I had one complaint, and it's not a biggie, it's the refrigerator. The shelves are not very strong-two gallons makes them dip. We moved shelves around so that the gallons were on the bottom, on top of the bins. That solved that problem. The door doesn't seem to shut real well, we always double check to see that it's closed. Other than that, everything is awesome!
We have a new flat top stove and new washer and dryer. We have been using the w/d alot! Love having it!
Renovations here: The first and second floor standard hallways and doors were being redone when we got here. We looked in those hallways, and they were laying carpet. They have been painting/replacing the outside of the villas on the quiet pool side. There is scaffolding that went up the other day over there. (preferred view) Also on the end villas that seperate the quiet pool and the main pool, if you can picture that.
We haven't heard any noise from the renovation work. Saw some trucks along the canal, one with the new chair cushions in it. It's pretty busy along the canal with workers.
There must be a lot of rooms without guests when you consider the first and second floor standards being finished inside, and the rooms with scaffolding.
We love BWV! Location is so wonderful. We haven't used the busses much, so I can't comment on that. We went through Epcot to go to Magic Kingdom, and haven't done AK or DTD yet.
We are fairly new members (2.5 yrs) so maybe we still have rose colored glasses on, but we feel like this was the absolute best thing we could have done for our vacations. Our kids are 17 and 12 and it's great having access to so much so easily. Having a one bedroom is perfect, since they have their own tv and we can have our own space.
I can try to answer any questions. I know how much I appreciated any info. prior to our trip.
Have a magical day!
