Need advice on VWL studio!

[ptrbryant]

We've rented points from another dis'er for 7 nts. for a studio at VWL late Jan. - early Feb (it will be my DH, DS (age 7) and myself). [BTW, we've got the brochures on DVC but want to actually experience staying in one before considering buying.]

My DH is prone to migraines, so we really want a quiet studio...though we love looking out at Bay Lake, too (have stayed at WL twice). I figured a dedicated studio would be quieter and seem more private. After printing out the map linked here for the lay-out of the villas, I realized that there are actually very few dedicated studios and, if I don't want ground floor or dumpster view, there're only like 3 per floor (and one of those is across from the trash receptacle).

Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions? Would we be better off in a lock-off with a Bay Lake/woodsview? I know it's first-come, first-served with room assignments, but I could at least put in a request. (we'll be checking in around 3).

Thanks very much in advance! These boards have enabled our family to have 2 terrific WDW vacations already and I'm hoping for a 3rd success!

VWL is quieter than WL - less guest more room - I though there was a dedicated studio on the bay lake side - on the far end?

Sorry, can't help you with your specific question. However, I was wondering what map you were referring to. Could you let me know where the link is? Thanks.

I would think logically the further from the elevator, the quieter the room (less hallway traffic). Also just luck of the draw on neighbors.

Here is a link with some room reports and it will give you some view comments. http://members.aol.com/InstImpres/wildernesslodge.pdf This will give you an idea of “sectional views”. It is extremely difficult to ask for a specific room (as well as trying on the CM’s). With the new room ready policy, guests have reported getting several choices at check-in and this may than help
