And yes, they sell eggs and various groceries at the screendoorm
!

Thank you!! And word on the new free wifi? Do they have that at the Villa side now?

I stopped by the Concierge desk at BWI/BWV this afternoon to ask about this. I was told there are two notaries at the Boardwalk. Just ask at the front desk or at the Concierge desk when you get here so you can arrange to meet with one of them during your stay.

I asked yesterday also - they were probably wondering why so many guests were requiring notaries on the same day

They said swolphin has a 24 hour business center with a notary also

This was our 1st stay at BWV and boy are we hooked! BWV is such a prime location! The only negative was the bus service. We used the bus once and after picking up at BWV, it stopped at Swan & Dolphin. On the return trip to the resort, it dropped off at Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club, Beach Club & then BW. So we were first on & last off. Other than that, we really loved everything about the resort

As of a few weeks ago, the villas had wifi

We get off at the Swan and walk back to the BWV from there. It's a short walk and will get you home faster than staying on the bus!

I told DH we should do that because it would be quicker, (thanks to reading that tip here on the DIS), but he didn't believe me. Once we finally arrived at BW, he looked at me and said, "We definitely should have gotten off the bus at the Swan."

I remember from staying at the Inn side last year that the buses did just as you said. We'll have to try getting off at the Swan this time. Heading down tomorrow for our first DVC stay at the BWV!!

So we're here at the BWV now in a 1BR Boardwalk view. The room is really nice, in good shape with maybe the exception of the coffee table in the living room, which is really scratched up (don't care.). The view is incredible. The Wifi didn't work when we first got to the room, our i-devices wouldn't connect, but we called the Internet support from the room (the number was on a flier) and they reset the router we were connecting to, and it worked perfectly after a few minutes.
Our only real complaint though is that we're all the way at the end of the hallway literally up against Jellyrolls. You can definitely hear the music either from JR or Atlantic Dance at night. If we had someone sleeping in the living room (we don't), they wouldn't be able to sleep at all. For us we had to put the bathroom light/fan on for background noise to lessen out the music. Very annoying. We might complain, but we're too settled in to move if they give that option.
Having said that, we definitely won't hesitate to book here again for next November.

One consolation is that you will have a great view of Illuminations from that room, especially if you are on a higher floor.

Have a great time!!

We had the end 1BR 2nd floor room last year. One morning one of our girls said she thought she heard music playing when she went to bed. We must have been too tired each night because once our heads hit the pillow it was lights out.

Thanks! You're right, though, we have a great view of Illuminations from the room. It's nice to see fireworks every night.

It has been a while since my favorite resort's thread has been commented on.

We will be going this year for the week of Independence Day and have requested a firsr floor quiet pool view. We are usually standard view people and have been for 10 years so this will be different.

Have a happy 4th, HBC. And I hope that your room is exactly what you requested!

Thank JJ. We know the odds are against it. We were just happy that rooms were still available when we made the reservation a month ago. Standard rooms actually opened up but since we used borrowed points it didn't make sense to switch to what we are used to.

At that time of year being able to walk right out to the quiet pool would be grand. Here's some pixie dust.

Awesome, I think you'll love it!

In general most of the activity from this thread moved over to the combined BWI/BWV thread in the main resort board.
