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

[Ronald Duck]

I'm sure this has been asked before but does anyone know how many preferred BW rooms there are? We are looking to book a 2 bedroom and a studio and would love to have them with a BW view. I've seen the map that shows where all the preferred/preferred BW/stanard rooms are located but that doesn't give a figure as to how many rooms there are of each?

No guarantees on this, but I did a room inventory search on a DVC site and came up with 27 Studios with a Preferred Boardwalk View (probably right), and 13 2-bedroom lockoffs (possibly right, but seems kind of low). I couldn't get it to work for 2-bedroom dedicateds.

There are no 2-bedroom dedicated rooms at BWV.

I'm at the BWV's right now for our very first trip home. We bought sight unseen and I'm not at all disappointed. I just love the location! It's so convenient to go to both Epcot and DS and there is so much to do here. We have a dedicated studio with a garden/pool view in room 3062. Tomorrow we have to move to SSR and we'll see how we like that.

I'm very happy with my choice of BWV for our home resort. Love it, love it, love it!!!! Can't wait to come back in March for the Flower and Garden Show when I have a standard view studio booked.

I'm guessing that our F&G trips may be around the same time. I'll be with DGF's in sv 2 bedroom! I'm glad you're happy with your home resort!

I will be there in 9 days and have a boardwalk view in a 1-bedroom villa (I can't believe it! - down to the single digit dance now ). I've stayed twice - once in 1997 in a one-bedroom villa overlooking the quiet pool and this last February in a studio above Wyland Gallery. I absolutely love BWV and can't wait til I can buy into DVC timeshare!

Hi Everyone!

We are in process of purchasing 100 pts through TTS at BWV, we passed ROFR and are SO excited! What a great Christmas gift!

I know it is not a huge # of points but since we live in Idaho, we don't plan on visiting more than every 2-3 yrs anyway. We fell in love with BWV when we did a cash stay a year and a half ago, and being soon to be owners is a dream come true.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I am hoping to stay with my 4 sisters next year for a few nights at Boardwalk for the first time .I wanted to purchase the dining plan but have heard there is no counter service lunchs there. So my question is; where do you go for lunches if you are not going to the parks certain days?Does BCV have counter service meals? TIA

The walk to MGM is about a mile. The walk to EPCOT is much shorter. We did it in July with 10 and 12 yr olds in 5 min from BCV pool. No complaints even from the kids.

I posted this in response to a question that I can't find now.....maybe too much eggnog..."kids, don't drink and post"

All 7 grand villas are boardwalk view, they take up alot of the space.

The BW bakery has CS lunch options - there are 3 or 4 different sandwiches, a chicken caesar salad and a fruit plate...I haven't heard this has changed, last time I was at BW was July, but someone else may report differently. Also, yes BC has CS options as well - Hurricane Hannahs outside by the pool which has hamburgers, sandwiches, chicken nuggets and salad, and inside at the BC Marketplace there are sandwiches and salad similar to the BW Bakery.

We'll be back at BWV in March and for the very first time we won't be staying in a boardwalk view room. I'm interested to see how if we'll enjoy BWV in a standard view room, as the great view is one of the main reasons we enjoy BWV so much.

Here's a virtual walk from our (standard-view, 4th-floor) villa down to the boardwalk...all photos taken last week.

Thank you for the great pictures! We'll be checking in tomorrow night for our annual Holiday visit. I was feeling a bit under the weather and thought about cancelling, but now I am ready to get packed and go! The pictures gave me a great pick me up.

Ronald Duck,
Where were you when you took the photo that has Leaping Libations in the background? I am drawing a blank...

 

[bobbiwoz]

Great Great Great photos!!! Thank you...I am so psyched about this upcoming BWV vacation!

PS. I saw those wonderful themed light fixtures for the first time last month, but didn't have my camera...thank you especially for that picture...up until I sae them, I thought that only VWL had light fixtures of note!

I was in the first floor hallway, near the elevators and across from Muscles and Bustles. We often went down that way to enjoy the pool area and get through to the Boardwalk.

I'm betting that getting there will be just what the doctor ordered. Have a wonderful time!
