Last week whilst at WDW, we decided at the last moment (as in the day before morning) that we wanted to stay another day at WDW since we were having so much fun park hopping but our ressie was for a BC at VB (was for 2 nights - we did spend one night there and I posted a room report elsewhere)
We called MS from our BCV room they had a BWV GV for us for the one night we wanted to stay. MS booked it up for us, used the 53 pts for the BC from VB for the night and we borrowed the 21 pts difference from our Dec04 use year. MS was totally cool doing this and were a pleasure to deal with.
We checked in around 3:30pm - met MIL in the BW lobby and the GV #5047 was ready for us - I cannot even begin to describe our reaction on entering the room. Pictures cannot do it justice - the huge common living area, 3 bedrooms, large dining table, the Boardwalk view with 6 walkouts to the balconies.
Room #5047 is at the "start" of BWV BW view rooms working from left to right facing BWV from Crescent Lake. We were above the General Store and Thimbles n Threads. The room noise was virtually nil with the doors closed and many times we walked onto the balconies just to take in the view and listen to the cycling piano player on the BW.
The view was great (this was our first BW view at BWV) and the MIL was very impressed by the room and layout and privacy with the Master Suite separate from bedrooms 2 & 3
The room was in very good shape - the hardwood floors needed a good cleaning with Murphy's Oil Soap or something like that - sticky areas, crayon marks etc. We thought MK would have taken care of this during the room cleaning process but they did not - we called MK and they did come and clean the sticky areas. Took a second call to get them to take the dishes that were left in the hallway by the prior occupants or by MK themselves along with the blender and parts (not sure what the prior occupants did but looks like they had quite the party).
Also had to call mtce. to come and replace some burned out lightbulbs which they did promptly.
We received lots of magic from the front desk and resort staff - DS#1 came down with mild chicken pox that morning and we had to take him to a Blue Cross clinic (was a bit of a distance over on Boggy Creek in Kissimee). Anyways the wait for medical help was about 2 hours which of course put us past the checkout time. MIL stayed behind to watch over DS#2. The resort staff, MK and front desk were very helpful and understanding of the situation and granted us extensions as required - turns out we needed one until 1pm - they took good care of us on that trip and we were very impressed with the professionalism of the BWV resort staff.
The room and view was just amazing and was another part of the great 2 week WDW/USF-IOA trip
I will be posting pics probably in March of the GV
thanks
