Multiple questions on BWV first stay

[tkgdisney]

My DH has severe allergies to many soap items - we bring our own soaps, but we now have problems with laundry detergent - how can I find out what they use for the sheets and towels - I bring my own now, but it would be nice if I did not need to wash all before we can go to the parks. His defenses have gone downhill with 2 major surgeries in a very short time frame - they think it will improve, but for now I need to be very careful.

Is there an area we should request for a nice 1BR - we have a boardwalk view, any suggestions?

Internet - is it wireless? what are charges?

Thanks for all the help!

Don't know about the soap, I guess you could call housekeeping.

Does your husband have difficulties with long walks? If so, I would request a room close to the elevators. The boardwalk view rooms near Jellyrolls are a long way from the elevators. I always request top floor for the best view and less noise.

Internet is wired. It is free for DVC members, $9.95 per 24 hour period for non-members.

Thanks for the placement suggestion - he is ok with walking but I just fell and hurt my knee and hope i can put the surgery off to after the trip - so I need to be close to an elevator.

I had thought to call the BW directly, but was not sure if I could find soap info on the boards - there are so few things that can not be found here.

For boardwalk view 1BR, if you want to be a little closer to the elevators, request a dedicated 1BR over the main store. The room mix along the boardwalk is GVs and dedicated studios and 1BRs until you get down close to The Big River Grill. Then from there to the beginning of Jellyrolls (where the boardwalk rooms end) it is all 2BR lock-offs except for the very last room on each floor where you get another dedicated 1BR.

We were just there for MLK weekend. Had rooms 5015/5017. Made good use of the stairs(even going up after a Kitchen Sink at B&C)! It was some what of a walk from the elevator.

Great view!
