Is it unusual…

To be in a studio with an attached one bedroom next door that shares a patio? We were in BWV studio 1070 and the attached 1br was occupied by another family. We had a shared patio. I’ve not encountered this in my many years. It wasn’t a problem, but I could see how it could be for some.

We've been staying in BWV standard view 1 bedroom villas since 1999 and never shared a balcony. Maybe it's different for first floor patios? We've not stayed on ground level, and I've not really looked at those.

That sounds unusual to me, but if it was ground floor maybe not?

We were in a 2 Br. BWV (ground level) last April. The living room and "2nd br/studio" shared a patio, while our "Master Br". shared a patio with the unit next door. It was a little weird, but the other room never seemed to use the patio, so there was no problem for us.

I must admit that I've never heard of that, nor would I like that. We once had almost the opposite situation. We were in a 1 Bedroom at BCV which had 2 very small balconies, one each off the Master and Living Room, that each only held one person.

That certainly does seem odd and I would not be a fan of that. I would not someone walking to my area and peering into my room.

I’ve owned BWV since 1999, stayed there many times, never had a ground floor (always request top floor). Never shared a balcony.

Ditto! ( Except lately, I haven't requested top floor).

Wow, that looks like fun.

Quite a few stays at BWV and only one on the ground level. A P/G view studio. I do not recall if it was dedicated - I don't remember having the little extra seat/bed that they did back then so I don't think it was. I do recall it had it's own patio though so not all ground floor share.

We've had a couple of those. Actually one that only had a small balcony off the living room. It was in a corner and the master bedroom window looked out at the gigantic patio the villa next door had - stealing the master's balcony. Worse though is the super narrow tiny balcony we had - maybe top floor? It was a balcony that was walled in and could only hold a single chair and table and you had to shift the chair around to sit down without having your knees hit the outer balcony wall.

I've never wanted a ground floor anywhere just for that reason. The ground floor rooms along the side/back path from the BCV to Epcot just seem so out there. I joke with DH, getting tired, oh look lots of chairs to take a rest.

Other than BWV that one time I believe the only other ground floor I've had was at VWL. I don't recall any dividers at all there beyond grass between the patios. The upper balconies at BWV and VWL only have "air" separating them unlike say AKV or VGF that has a walled divider.
