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

[Judique]

LOL, watching TV and posting on DISboards simultaneously isn’t optimal for me! But I hope that when 2042 rolls around, DVD will make the kind of structural changes that are needed to create dedicated 2BR at BWV when they’re building out BWV v.2 to 2040s standards.

That's me, watching tv, reading and posting. Retired life is great!

It’s why one my DVC rules is to never buy in with the expectation that you will be able to book the limited number of low cost view rooms at a particular resort. Always assume one level higher.

Guess I'm more of a gambler! (Well, it was much different when I bought!) But I'm not put off by a little competition for my nights (yet) and will work to get what I want.

Some of the problem is ourselves - telling everybody what a great deal it is, how convenient it is and that they should try it.

From now on I'm telling people steer clear! There are geckos on the curtains (Had one in a room one time.)

Snakes and alligators may crawl out of the Lake (Disney has the signs up.)

Ducks will wander into your room if you leave the patio door open. (Oh wait that was at Polynesian!)

Epcot and DHS fireworks will keep you awake in the cheap rooms. (I was in a BW view when they tested the newest Epcot show right before it went live - for about an hour at 1am.) I stood on my balcony and took great pictures.

You'll pick a great location, get there and a tree grew covering the entire view.

Feel free to add your negative experiences and spread them around.

The artwork in the rooms is terrible too! Ive heard the chairs are lovely though. Both in the lobby and the balcony. Not spooky or uncomfy.

eah that was the upside to buying BC instead but I wanted BW, BC wasn’t worth the 2042 expiry to me.

I use my BCV to beef up my BW stays.

As of now there is no hope for him with AKV even when he saw the fabulous refurb pics.

I haven't seen the refurb yet and I loved AKL when first built.

However the rooms themselves lost appeal to me, both regular rooms and DVC villas, so I hope the refurb brightens it up just a touch.

It didn't stop me from staying there and I especially like to snag the odd CL room. The best deal was when it first opened and you could add CL to a regular room sometimes as low as $129 plus $50 for the lounge access. I was already assigned on the 5th floor a few times and they just moved me closer to the lobby with a savannah view to go with it. We would come up through the gate on the back side.

“Paul” is my ‘spirit chair’… Be sure to say hello to Paul. (Give a peek to their back side).

Just a hair over 30 days and I can say hello to Paul, may even take a photo for you.
