Welcome home Ian and Lynn.

Don't listen to any of the others you really do have the best DVC resort in BWV.

Bet you can't guess where my home resort is?

Thanks for the Welcome Home Kev, I will pick your brains for the best room requests. When do I contact DVC to request quiet room, high floor etc?

I'm not Kev

But we always get our requests put on the ressie at the time we make it. We had a fantastic view at BWV last August - 5th floor with a great view of TOT & Fantasmic (top of)

Hi care to share some details, room number etc? That sounds about right, I have requested a non smoking pref view room but can I request actual room numbers or is that done at check in? Ian

 

[KayleeUK]

Hi

I think it would be very hard to get an exact room Although I have never tried it.

With preferred view you will be overlooking either the quiet or luna park pool. So I would put your requests in order of preference ie,

Non Smoking
High Floor
Luna Park Pool view

I wish you luck with your requests

 

[ollie]

Hi, so preferred view isn't necessarily looking out over Yacht and Beach, Oh!

 

[KayleeUK]

No thats Boardwalk View

 

[ollie]

No thats Boardwalk View

So if I want a Boardwalk view, what do i ask for, preferred or standard studio or just Boardwalk View? many thanks Ian

 

[KayleeUK]

Ian

With the BW there are three booking classes (so to speak) which you select at the time of booking.

Boardwalk View (overlooking the BW)
Preferred View (pool views)
Standard View (less points no water view overlooking the entrance)

So if you have already booked and you just have a preferred view then you only get that option of the pools now,

You can try and call back and see if you could get a BW view(but these usually go the quickest).

Does that make sense??

 

[ollie]

Yes, I'll phone the states in 30 mins many thanks. Ian

 

[KayleeUK]

How did you get on Ian???

 

[Miffy2003]

Ian - we wanted a Boardwalk View last time but could only get preferred, and were slightly (not very) disappointed. Well it was magical! We could see the main pool, the boats going to and fro and best of all we could hear the music when Fantasmic showed, and the higher fireworks / lasers. What I am (badly ) saying is that whatever you get I bet there will be something special about it

ETA some photos taken from our balcony - 5th floor, Luna Park view

This last one was taken by mistake but does show the great view to MGM!

 

[KayleeUK]

Great piccies

 

[ollie]

How did you get on Ian???

Hi Kaylee,

Ian phoned MS & is now on a wait list for a BW view, but they leave the preferred pool view booking as is until a BW view is available.

A result either way we think !
