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

[JennisDisneyMom]

DH and I leave tomorrow for our first BWV stay!

Although I've been to Disney many times, I've not ever been "rained in". But looking at the weather forecast, this may be the case. Is there anything in particular at BWV that you would recommend for us in case we get more rain than sun???

Thanks!

Make sure to get a room right above the brewery...then take the sheets off of the bed and shimmy down the balcony and have a few beers!!

I'm so jealous!! I LOVE the BWV resort - you will fall in love for sure! Now as far as entertainment if you get rained out, I love sitting on the balcony (as long as it's covered ) and people watching but guess that's really only good if you have a boardwalk view. Do you know what view you have?

Altho I like JennisDisneyMom's idea You can always go to ESPN if you're a sports enthusiest or Jellyrolls is always fun in the evening. Otherwise I say be sure to take a couple ponchos and head over to Epcot and windowshop or sit in a covered area sipping a nice drink and people watch (can you tell I like to be lazy and people watch? )

In any event, HAVE FUN!!!! Hope you are planning on taking lots of pics as I can't wait to see how the rooms look now that most have been renovated.

Thanks so much! And JDM-- I'm way ahead of you on that brewery thing! Great idea about hanging out at World Showcase. We tend to short-change that since it's not as exciting to our kids as Test Track! Our view is a garden/pool view and I've requested a room close to transportation. So we'll see. I can't wait!!

In less than 12 hours DH and I will be hitting the road for our first ever adult only trip to The World! We're staying at BWV for the first time and can't wait.

Could someone tell me how long of a walk it is to Epcot from BWVs? And is the path/route clearly marked?? Thanks!

7 minute walk. Just follow the BW past ESPN, over the bridge and to the right. You won't miss it! Have a great time!

The boat ride to Disney Stuidos or EPCOT is a great perk to staying that the Boardwalk...the ride is always very relaxing. But, walking to either park has always been faster than the boat ride for us.

We just got back from a wonderful stay at BWV! I love this place we plan on going back to the world soon and looking to be able to stay there again.

For all that raved about the BWV you were all right!!

I'm so excited. I just got off the phone with MS!! I booked a 2bd and a studio for the end of January!! This is the first time I've ever traveled with the in-laws and it's their first time to WDW. Now the fun starts...planning!!

 

[heaven2dc]

I just booked a BWV Standard Studio for May 2010. I'm sooo excited to finally stay there. I didn't think it would be my cup of tea until I stayed at the BCV last year (during the only week in a 5 month period where it absolutely downpoured for the 7 straight days we were there) and realized that there was alot more action at the Boardwalk and it was nice to see the live performers there at night.

I can't wait!!!

You will love the BWV! Here's some pixie dust that maybe they will upgrade you to a preferred room (altho any room at BWV is great!)

This should be a fun trip with the in-laws (and possibly interesting as well )! Hope you have a great time! Have you ever stayed at BWV before? And did you book standard or preferred rooms? or even better yet, boardwalk views? We stayed in a boardwalk view this past December and loved it! Watching Illuminations and Wishes from your balcony at night was awesome - we are also renting points again from a DVC owner for Nov 28-Dec 4, 2010 for a 2 bedroom & 2 studios so am anxious to hear how you liked your rooms.

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Yes, we stayed at the BWV's for our first DVC stay several years ago. We have a preferred water view booked because it was the only thing left. Some day I would like to try a BW view, especially seeing so many webcam streams from there!
I'm cautiously optimistic about taking the in-laws. We've never traveled with friends or family before and they've been bugging to go with us for some time. (They live in FL but they didn't want to go by themselves!) We booked BWV's so we could walk, take the boats to EPCOT and HS and we're still close enough that if they need to take a break they can head back to the room. This is a one time only trip taking them, not the start of shared vacations, so I'm making the best of it--hey we're going back to WDW!
Now I'm just hoping for good weather here in the northeast so we have no delays and smooth flights.
I'll give you a report when we get back!

Booked a 1br BV in March, first time at BWV. Can't wait!

 

[korzmom]

I just wanted to tell everyone that I was reading a Diser's live TR this morning and she posted pics of the scaffolding on the rooms overlooking the Boardwalk She did post some pics of the updated rooms and they are awesome! Flat screen tv's, no more amoires (sp) and I think the sofas look new (this was in a one bedroom villa w/preferred view overlooking the canal). I love the new color scheme and lamp in the living room is so cute - can't wait until 2010!! (here's a link to her thread if interested http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2295437&page=2 - hope you don't mind MissMet!)

I can't be the only BWV (and Clown Pool) fan left, am I?!! I'm bumping this in hopes of some more new pics (we got our boardwalk view rooms reserved yesterday and am sooo excited).

 

[Mickey'sApprentice]

We love everything about the Boardwalk!

We own there and have stayed there on all three trips since joining.

We are going with friends (January) and family (July), and decided to stay elsewhere for these trip. Animal Kingdom and Beach Club Villas respectively.

It will be interesting to see how different resorts stack up to the Boardwalk.

Dh is already itching to stay in a renovated room!

 

[Disney Princess]

We check in on Sunday for the first time together! My husband has never stayed on property and he is sooooooooo excited! We can't wait!!

 

[Melani]

Well you may not see much of the renovations in this photo except for the curtains, you can see the fireworks from bed in SV studio #4097.

1 bedroom, room 4041:

Sorry it's blurry, I got a new camera from QVC that turned out to be crap.

 

[cdhheidi]

No pics here, but I just booked our stay in a one bedroom standard (12 glorious nights!) next November/December. It will be our first stay since becoming DVC members, and I am having a BALL already planning for our stay! We fell in love with BWV when we stayed there after a disasterous several days at AKL a few years ago. And now we are going HOME! (am I happy? LOL!)

Boys will be 13 and 16, and the youngest will have his service dog with us for the first time as well.
