received a nice room upgrade!

[m1ckeym0use1]

So it finally happened. After 20+ years of DVC vacations (my parents purchased in 1991, and we bought our own contract in 2005) we received a really nice room upgrade.

We had a BCV studio booked Sunday (Mothers day) and checked out Wednesday. Check in process was normal. We get to our room, and are very confused to see a foyer when we enter. Then the kitchen confused us more. It was a 1 bedroom unit. I had to call the front desk to be sure we had the right room, and they confirmed it was a complimentary upgrade. I thought it was odd the person checking us in either didn't know or didn't say anything.

Anyway, it was a great surprise, and might spoil us going forward (we always do a studio). I have no idea why... maybe low occupancy checking in Sunday and out Wednesday?

With several contracts in our family, and over 20 years of vacations, this is the only upgrade we've seen. That's how rare they are.....

probably due to maintenance issues in a studio but yeah, it's nice when it happens.

And you're ruined for life now. Once I stayed in a 1BR, there was no going back to a studio. I'm hooked.

Good for you!

Congratulations! Enjoy every moment (especially that soaking tub!). Like everyone else has stated, you'll be ruined for life. My husband refuses to stay in anything less than a one bedroom even if it meant an extra day or two. They are so nicely appointed. Enjoy!!

So glad you got the upgrade after all these years!!! . I think 1BR are fabulous so enjoy your feeling of being pampered or treated as special!

That's awesome! The extra space of a 1 bedroom is so nice! Love Disney surprises!

That's what happened to me also! One year at BCV, I decided to "treat" DH and get a 1 BR for a few days. Well, since then, no going back to studios. And I LOVE that little foyer when you first walk in.

That's their plan. They see that you only stay in a studio, so they upgrade you to a 1BR.

The next thing you know, you're buying more points.

That is exactly what I was thinking!

Our "kids" are 21 & 16 and we travel to WDW/DL every 3 years and use 3 years of points to rent a 2 bedroom unit. We have all been jonesing to go back, but we don't want to give up our bedrooms.

Although I only went one time and stayed in 1br . I am hooked I don't want to go studio now . I loved having the kitchen and the extra space

Same thing happened to us at Kidani back in January. Even though it was just me and my DW, having the extra bathroom was a very nice bonus.
