gmboy95- you left the room in great shape- we're in 545!
This room does have a view of the American Pavilion, but no view of Illuminations. We can see the light flashes with each firework explosion and can certainly hear the sounds, but do not have a view of the sky above the barges.
BCVOWNER2002- the safe is large enough to hold a laptop. It measures about 12" x 20" and is deep enough.
As in all WDW resort rooms, there is a dataport on the phone which allows a laptop to be connected. You will need an access number (I'm using netzero). Make sure it's a local call. Members are charged .35 per local call.
We've had afternoon thunderstorms each day with some heavy amounts of rain.
I'm planning to attend the BWV member update on Thursday and hope to get some more info about the Saratoga Resort project. I'm also going to explore the site a bit to see what has been accomplished thus far.
ncligs- My favorite
DVC resort is whichever one I'm staying in (right now, my favorite is BCV

), since I'm the only one to blame if I don't like it. We have enjoyed each resort and would be happy to stay in each one again. There has been something unique and individual about every one and I would not be ashamed to recommend any of these resorts to a friend or family member.
