Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We are really enjoying this trip. The flowers were from my brother and they are really nice.

So glad BWV is our home resort. Just hearing the music they pump in the building and on the Boardwalk relaxes me! It is a perfect fit for our family.

Addonitis may be setting in.....

New flat panel TVs were supposed to happen. Maybe they ran short for your villa or maybe they are being replaced a bunch at a time. Does the TV cabinet look new or redone?

I saw on another post that they were not put in because new cabinets are on order. I hope this is true - BWV has a history of promising new things and they don't come through (they promised HDTV's and coffee tables for the studios in 2002/2003).

Great pictures, thanks for taking the time to post. I guess I was expecting bigger changes to the units, but they do look very nice!

Don't even get me started on that one!!!

Is there still a padded bench with a storage drawer in the master bedroom? We find that extra large drawer very handy. And did they keep the same nightstands in the master?

I was expecting bigger changes too, CaliD!

Yes, the padded bench in the master is there with a large drawer. I'm not sure what the old nightstands looked like, but these have three drawers and a larger door. They hold quite a bit of stuff.

Congrats on getting one of the newly renovated rooms!! I just returned Saturday and was watching them work on the buildings when I was at the pool. If you can take some pictures that would be great!!

Enjoy your vacatoin!!

Beth, thanks for taking time to post those wonderful pics; we are headed for BWV mid-August for 10 nights with a pref. view. I am so excited to see the rennovations but don't want to get my hopes up for a new room.

Enjoy

 

[Ms. WDW]

I always loved the BWV light fixtures. Does anyone know if there is a way to purchase the old fixtures?

Keep an eye on MouseSurplus: http://mousesurplus.myshopify.com/ They sell a lot of used WDW furnishings, everything from wall decorations to TV armoires.

ETA: You could even try contacting them in case they have what you want but it isn't showing on their website.

That is just really classy. It is bad enough that some people feel a need to do this at Christmas.

Sorry for the hijack OP. What is the Village Green area? We are in a Preferred Studio in September (first BWV stay) and I'm not sure what to request.

Enjoying the TR. Thanks for sharing!

Village Green is over looking the courtyard infront of the hotel. With that view, you can see the Boardwalk (although sometimes obstructed, the Epcot Ball, the Bay and Ferry. I like it because you do not get the noise from the night clubs, but you get somewhat of a boardwalk view. Plus all of the studios are dedicated, I believe.
