Our first stay at BWV and we loved it!! We arrived around 12:30 on 11/30, but our room was not ready, so we put our luggage in storage and headed to MGM for the afternoon. We called a few times to see if the room was ready, but it was not. We headed back over to BWV after the parade in hopes that the room would be ready for 4pm. The only "Welcome Home" we received was from a manager at Guest Services when we were picking up our CP tickets.

The CM checking us in was not the friendliest. I had a very difficult time hearing her and had to ask her to repeat things multiple times! As we were finishing up, the very friendly CM next to her offered my DS and DD coloring books and crayons (too bad we could not have gotten him!!)

We had a preferred room (#3014). A little disappointed when we looked out the balcony to find the view of a tree and the white tent covering the area where they tore down the red building. Not what I would consider a "preferred view", but did not complain as we did not spend a lot of time in the room.
The room was in good condition and clean. On the 3rd day, we could not put the sleeper sofa back without forcing it, so we called maint. When we returned, the sofa was back together. We pulled it out and without even opening it the entire way discovered we would have the same problem again. The next morning we called Maint. again and asked to have someone come up while we were in the room to show us what we were doing wrong. Jeffrey from Maint. arrived within 5 minutues and had the same problem we did. He explained that he would replace the entire mechanism so we would not have the problem again. When we arrived back at the room that evening, the bed pulled out with very little effort and appreared to have a whole new frame for the mattress.
Overall, we were very happy with the BWV. The pool was very nice and we loved the slide. Just the perfect size for our kids to go up and come down on their own without us having to go up each time with them (brr...it was a little chilly when you got out of the water!!)

Glad you had a nice trip. After reading your post, I remembered that we had the same problem with the sofa bed in the living room area of our 2BR. However, we just forced it and didn't give it any thought.

Thanks for the trip report! I wouldn't have liked forcing the sofa bed either. Good for you for getting it fixed for the next family too :D

I'm at BWV right now, sitting on the sofa, and noticed that it is the new kind of pullout sofabed.
 

Glad you had a nice trip.

We checked in on 12/1 at BWV and had the exact opposite experience with check in. One of the nicest front desk CMs I have ever dealt with.

I have had a similar experience with the sofa bed however!

Folded up, the couch looks the same as before. When you take the cushions off, the head of the bed is behind where you would sit and the rest is under the seat part. I didn't open it (I was afraid I wouldn't get it closed either!) but it looked like it was the same as the reported new ones at OKW. Sorry, didn't take a picture.

We had a very nice check-in girl. I'll post a report on the room tomorrow with pictures, it was 5051, boardwalk view but it partially faced the village green.
