The I Love BWV (yes, Hallways and Clown Pool too!) Thread

[Disney loving Iowan]

My DS who is 21 has slept on that sofa bed many times! It is a standard pull out couch mattress. He has never found it uncomfortable. One thing I will point out is that the AC in that room blows out right in front of that couch!! We always request a couple of extra blankets because he does get cold. He never complains about being uncomfortable otherwise though.

I agree with this. My DD always sleeps on it and has the same experience.

We just bought BWV because I insisted, but my husband are adamant Saratoga lovers. We have stayed in 6 DVC resorts and SSR is still their favourite.

It was definitely a great stay! We were right by the Paddock pool so it was a great spot. I do think I would upgrade to preferred next time, though, as the kids prefer to be close to lobby and DS. We would definitely stay there again. We also golfed while we were there so it was nice to be so close with our golf clubs. The guest services team there is top notch!! And the rooms were great. 2 BR has us spoiled!

Hi.
I'll be at BWVs in a couple of weeks in a P/G studio.
Are they still doing construction on the grass?

I want to request the area overlooking the grass/small part of the BW.
I'm going to try to request the 4053/5053 area.
Thank you.

There was no construction when I was there in May--just the evening activities.

Own at BCV/Poly but love, love, love BWV. Have a wonderful time with each stay. Yes, those long hallways (we always ask to stay at HS end) are soooo long we always say we need to stop at a motel along the way and spend the night. Then continue down the hallway in the morning.

The Front Desk is always unbelievably nice and efficient for us, unlike BCV's front desk (though also like the resort very much....especially the lobby scent).

That area is referred to as the BWV Courtyard. If you are going to make any location request, you need to do it immediately through MS (and you may already be too late). Best second request to make, if first request is to be in that area, is high floor ( 3 through 5) because the studios on the second floor above Wyland Galleries actually have little to no view because it is blocked by high arches that are part of Wyland

Thank you. I will call to orrow and also make a room request throughTP. Thank you.

Dundy’s Sundries to Close Permanently in Early October at Disney's BoardWalk Inn​

Some of this work is already underway, with the recent transformation of BoardWalk Deli and updates coming to Belle Vue Lounge and The Attic.

Soon, crews will start working on a new coffee shop in the BoardWalk lobby, replacing Dundy’s Sundries, which will permanently close its doors on October 3. Guests will still be able to find a full selection of merchandise at the nearby Screen Door General Store.

Additional details about the resort's major refurbishment project will be shared later this year.

Well, as a new BWV owner, I'm super bummed I'm missing out on a 2023 Labor Day reservation. I'll know next time to save my points so I can walk a reservation for a standard view room. I hope everyone who already booked the weekend is actually staying there and not just booking it to rent it out. (and, yes, I'm pouting! )

wait a few days and see how much opens up. Also, I've gotten standard rooms when waitlisting early.

How are you Missing out on something that is more than 11 months out

How are you Missing out on something that is more than 11 months out

You can technically book more than 11 months out. Today I can book for 8/29/23-9/5/23. 9/3 and 9/4 are already booked full.

 

[LadybugsMum]

How are you Missing out on something that is more than 11 months out

You can book up to 7 nights; so Labor Day is included if making a reservation for Aug 29, 2023.

I’d recommend you book through the 2nd, make a wait list for 3rd & 4th and also check daily over the next several weeks. Often the rooms will release after the “walkers” move their reservation forward. Good luck!

I just checked the 29and next 2 days are booked but Sept 1-4 is open ( but not able to book yet)

So are you complaining you can't walk your reservation due to others walking their reservation?

No, I actually want that full time... 29th and 30th, too. Plus, when I looked this morning, the 3rd was not available.

Just keep checking. More than likely you'll get it at some point in the next few days.

Most of the ones walking are walking for Oct / Nov / Dec - Not Labor Day - Today and Today + 1 or 2 has been moving daily since early August. Just check and grab the 29th tomorrow, they modify and add a day each day. You did not lose Labor day yet - that is what i am saying, its too early to say that.

Got it. Ok, that makes sense because I was lurking yesterday there were different days that were taken. It does seem to change on a whim. I'll keep watching and grab what I can. thanks!
