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

[WAHkoMom]

We stayed in a Grand Villa in January. I did a trip report and the link below shows some pics of the room. You have to scroll down a bit. It was an unbelievable room.

Great pictures! I was always curious about the rooms behind those double doors.

Thanks for posting!

Will be staying at BWV for first time in Dec. Does anyone know where if any would be a good room location for Illuminations. I know there is no clear view.

Generally speaking: the farther the walk, the better the view. Request an upper floor.

Enjoy!!

jimmytammy- you can go to DisneyResortCollection.com it sells for $100.00 and its the docking larm clock radio for ipod. they also have space saver ipod alarm clock and its $50.00 .hope this helps.

Thanks korzmom!

We checked out that site before and kept coming up empty. Just tried again and still nothing. The one for 100.00 is the one we were hoping for. I did some checking and found that were made exclusively for WDW resorts, but you would think since they advertised for them in the catalog in the room, they would be available

 

[korzmom]

that is so weird. why do they even have a catalog then? i dont know . i just got a bedspread from the boardwalk - i bought it through the site ownthemagic.com maybe you can find it there,i didnt look at all the items for sale just wanted that bedspread! maybe do a google search on it. good luck.

We went to WDW for the Summer Nightastic fun and stayed a BWV. DH shot some great video and we wanted to share it here.

Thanks for sharing this website! I didn't even know you could purchase Disney resort and park items (used but still...). I have to order a Boardwalk bedspread. I also like the Animal Kingdom Lodge one too.

please PLEASE never take that down.......
that's the view i go to sleep dreaming of every night, the total silence broken only by the birds and thumping joggers, then the voices of families on their way to the bakery, the scent of freshbaked goodies, and the view of spaceship earth in our own "backyard".....life doesn't get any better than that

Enjoy your stay!!

Thank you, Will do, making my shirt today and then packing.
Can't wait.

No plans to ever take any of my videos off YouTube. Unless they do. I hope not. They are on my channel at www.youtube.com/bonrea2000

We like the BWV but the distance to anything is a bit overwhelming and no easy access counter service. The Flying Fish was FANTASTIC. Check the Trip Reports on my Website.

Just read through this thread. Trying to figure out where we want to buy. Right now I'm really loving BWV!

This thread hasn't been touched in almost 5 months. Is BWV losing it's appeal? I know their prices have been down over the last 6 months so I'm just wondering.

We stayed at BWV for 12 nights in Nov/Dec, and it was wonderful... Except that we were all sick at various times (colds of various sorts, the miserable kind that you dont want to get out of bed with).

It was the perfect place for us though. We had our son's service dog (in training) with us, and they put us in a room on the ground floor so we could walk out on our patio and potty him right on the grass... and we had a marvelous view of Epcot fireworks every night! Got to work with the dog so he became less upset with the fireworks each night, so by the end of our stay he was not upset at all and didn't even flinch once.

We were just a short distance from where you borrow/rent the DVD's and games so when we didn't feel like doing anything, we had plenty of easy entertainment, the food was easy to get to on the boardwalk when we were hungry (and with a kitchen I did some easy cooking too a few times).

I would not trade Boardwalk for any other location. We took some time a couple of days and checked out the decor at the other hotels... nice for Christmas, lovely in fact. But... none can beat this location, not in my book! The boats or a walk to Epcot, the bikes, an easy walk around the lake when the weather is nice (it was COLD when we were there!), and entertainment along the boardwalk. Perfect for our family with 2 teenage boys including one special needs and our special friend Stirling!

We love BWV so much, that even though we also own at BLT, we've booked our next trip all at BWV -
9 days, our longest trip yet.

I don't think it's losing it's appeal! Decorations at Christmas time are out of this world, beautiful. We stayed there over NYE, and I can't tell you how many times I saw people who were just entering the lobby with "wow" in their expressions and smiles on their faces!

I wouldn't give up our BWV points for anything!
