I stayed in a standard view 1 bedrrom suite at BWV May 8-10. The room wasn't ready until 4:00 pm - and them only when we pressed them for a room so we could change clothes before dinner. Apparently they had an event going on at the resort and the housekeepers were busy with that so they were running late getting the rooms done. We had asked for a room close to the elevators since I had a friend staying with me who has some mobility issues. Again they weren't able to accomodate us.
After that rough start the rest of the stay was great. The room was clean (although there was a wet spot in the carpeting that took 2 days to dry out - I assume they had to scrub it after the previous guest) and well maintained. We were on the 4th floor looking over the driveway, but we did have a nice view of Illuminations from our balcony. The 1 bedrooms have so much more room than the studios and I really like the decor at BWV. The rooms are very comfortable - great to come back to at the end of a long day. I also enjoyed having a washer/dryer to use. They were bigger than some I've had at other (non Disney) timeshares.
I never had the time to enjoy the pools, but I
the boardwalk area. Walking along it at night and watching the people and the performers is a real treat. I think the reataurants at the Boardwalk are some of my favorites - Flying Fish Cafe is devine! I enjoy sitting at the Chef's counter watching them prepare the food, talking to them and sometimes gettting a sample sent out.
Spoodles is another favorite. I ate there for both breakfast and dinner on this trip and recommend it for either. The food at the Boardwalk Bakery is very good, but they really need to expand it or figure out a way to make it more efficient. The lines there are long and it is very crowded inside. Not a good design.
They also need to add an area to their store similar to the deli at Beach Club Marketplace. This is one resort where I hardly ever use my refillable mug. It is really inconvenient to get a refill.
You can't beat the location. I walked to Epcot and DHS several times. Both are relaxing strolls (especially after eating to much at FFC
). I'll definitely be staying here again.
