Don't Miss: The balcony right off the lobby! We spent a couple afternoons relaxing in the rocking chairs, just watching the people go by. It was a really relaxing way to wind down after being in the parks.

Room Location Suggestion: Our room was very close to the elevator, overlooked the Luna Park Pool, and was very quiet. It was a perfect spot for us, and I would definitely request it again.

The Mouse For Less Tip: Definitely make use of the kitchen for meals to save on money. We ate breakfast in the room every day, and dinner there a few times. It was much cheaper to buy the groceries to make the dinners than to eat out.

Comments: We loved staying at the BWV, with the convenience of the Friendship boats to both MGM and EPCOT. We also liked having such a wide variety of restaurants to choose from that were so close by. The buses can be very crowded, but we found that quite often Yacht & Beach Club had their own bus so that Boardwalk only shared with the Swan & Dolphin.

Resort: BoardWalk Villas

Date Of Stay: October, 2005

Type Of Resort: Disney Vacation Club Resort

Rate Paid During Your Stay: We used our DVC points.

Room Sleeps : we were in a 1 bedroom unit, the bedroom had a huge King sized bed and the living room had a fold out couch. There was a tv in both rooms, but a VCR/DVD player only in the living room. We could have gotten by with a studio but I really like the hottub, washer and dryer, and full sized kitchen.

Comments: Being able to walk or take a short boat ride to Epcot (and MGM) was an awesome perk during the Food and Wine Fest.

Don't Miss: The street performers on the Boardwalk - they are very entertaining.

Room Location Suggestion: We had room 3052 and it was GREAT!!! It had a fantastic corner balcony that was almost as large as the bedroom. It overlooked the lawn and the bay.

The Mouse For Less Tip: Check out the takeaway breakfast cart in the portico off the lobby over on the Inn side. They have grab and go stuff. Also, you can get breakfast items in the screen door general store that you can get ahead and have in the room.

Comments: This is a magical resort - and if you get one of the rooms close to the main lobby, you can pick up the high speed wireless from inside the room.
