Just back from Boardwalk Villas...

[MicheleC]

we had a great stay...although the weather was very hot and we got caught in the rain multiple times! But we had lots of fun at the parks and hanging out at the boardwalk. I'm ready to plan next year's trip!! Any questions about anything...just ask!!

Hi Michele! What did you think of BWV? We are staying there for the first time this Jan! What room/view did you have?
Thanks!

Are you a DVC member or did you pay cash? What size villa did you have and what kind of view? Did you request the view that you got?

Hey lulugirl! We are part of the vacation club and we own at the boardwalk. This is our 3rd stay there and we really love it. There is so much to do during the day and the night. The past two years we had the same exact room, Room 5001. It is a far walk from the elevator, last room (right over the vacation club sales office on teh boardwalk), but we love the view. It's a boardwalk view and it is far enough around that you get a great view of Illuminations every night. We love it. Any other questions, just ask. Have a great trip!!

I'm curious, do you know if any of the Standard view 1 bedrooms are located on ground level? The only request I made was a non-smoking room. I really DON"T want to be on ground level, perhaps I should request a certain floor?
DH and I always loved visiting the Boardwalk during previous Disney trips, but we could only afford to stay at a moderate. So we are very excited to finally be able to stay there, especially since this is our first trip w/ DD (3yrs.)!
Thanks for the feedback!

pnelson--yes, I am a DVC member and I requested a preferred view of the boardwalk, non-smoking room, 1-bedroom. I got all of my requests and I booked at the 7-month window.

lulugirl--I'm not sure about the rooms on the first level. My friend was there this week in a studio on the 1st level by the quiet pool and I wasn't overly impressed with the location. I would try to get a boardwalk view--if they aren't overbooked you may luck out. Or a view of the main pool is also nice. I once had a view of the quiet pool which I believe was also on the 5th floor and that was o.k. too. I know that the 5th floor is non-smoking but I'm not sure which others are.

lulugirl, I'm a BWV owner also and they do have one bedrooms on the first floor. We were in one last June.
