studio questions from a renter of points...

[tuckerkeys]

hello there
my family has rented a studio at the VWL from sept 5-13th we are excited to try a studio instead of a hotel room! my questions are:

are the washers & dryers free? where are they located? are they busy?

what are the chances of getting an "upgrade" at check-in to a 1br or 2 br? does this ever happen? i am NOT expecting it, i am happy with a studio. i am just curious if this happens a lot, or not at all......

what were your thoughts on the studio? did you like it, or did you think the 1br is much better for your next trip?

was there a vacuum in the studio?
thanks to ANYONE who helps ease my mind!

Yes. They are free for guests of the Villas. Can't help with the other questions - I'm sure someone else will post with the info or you can ask at check in.

Chances of an upgrade with a points stay are vitually zero. The very few I've heard about were because an unexpected maintenance issue took a room(s) out of service. Occasionally, you will hear of an upgrade given to a cash guest, but even those are rare at the DVC resorts.

what were your thoughts on the studio? did you like it, or did you think the 1br is much better for your next trip?

We prefer the 1 bedroom - but I am spoiled. Love the jacuzzi tub, the washer & dryer right in the room, two TVs and of course the fully equipped kitchen - which we use to store snacks, soda and quick/easy breakfast things. Don't cook much on vacation, LOL

was there a vacuum in the studio?

Yes - it will be in the closet.

thanks to ANYONE who helps ease my mind!

I also rent points to stay at the BWV. I was one of the very fortunate ones who did get an upgrade from a studio to a 1 bedroom, my first time there! It was during a very slow time of year(early Feb). I've since stayed in a studio a couple of times and while the 1 bedroom was wonderful, the studio is also very nice.

The laundry shouldn't be too busy.
Dh and I frequently stay in a studio and enjoy it immensely. We own points and rather than staying in a one bedroom, we prefer to stay twice as long in a studio.
One thing I would suggest is that if you plan on eating in your room quite bit, you may want to take extra paper plates, etc. The room only has 4 paper plates, bowls, etc.
I think you will thoroughly enjoy your experience.
