BWV refurb is in full swing.

No freezer and awkward shelving..need to be creative to fit 1/2 gallon items

Thanks for info. You are kind to take so much time from your trip to share all of this with us.

NorCalTim - THANKS!!

Yes, it’s a combo…will let my wife figure it out!

K-Duo 5100

Is that a combination coffee maker? I don't know what the official name is, but I like it. Wait, are the dining chairs still there??

Chairs are gone because the table is gone I think There are stools for the coffee table that pulls up.

Thank you so much for all of the pictures!! I am excited for all of it. Looking forward to seeing the 1 bedrooms. Very happy to see the combo pot, so I won't always have to bring my own Keurig!

It’s a Keurig Duo, single serve and carafe with filter. We have one. Excellent upgrade.

Just checked into BWV’s and got a Courtyard Studio that has been refurbished (5th Floor). Looks like the hallway is still closed to the BW View rooms however…the room’s still smell a little like fresh paint etc but are very nice. Will try sending some pics as soon as I can. Looks like the Luna Park Pool side is open too..some opened last night but think today is official first day

When you say "Courtyard", do you mean the dedicated studios that overlook Village Green? Like Rm 5057, etc ?

So disappointed that there are no comfortable chairs in the renovated studios A backless ottoman is more like a stadium bench and not my idea of comfort What kind of storage is there now The old white chest provided a lot of great drawer space!

Overall, a nice upgrade. I'm not a huge fan of the plaid headboards though. It looks rather dated.

yeah, there's an empty spot in the corner...no where to eat?

Definitely a big empty space in the corner with no table or comfortable chair. Likely just a spot to move the coffee table to when using the murphy bed. With the bland off white paint it kind of stands out pretty bad.

The coffee table does extend up and towards the couch as with other resorts but there are no drawers for storage, just the big area to possibly store the pillows from the sofa pull down bed. Overall storage seems a bit limited to the two big drawers to the left of the pull down single bed. The trade off of course is beds for 5.

Is the sofa comfortable to sit on? I always found the old ones kind of sloped down towards the front.

We just stayed in the refurbished SSR 1 bedroom, and I did notice the lack of storage. We've often used the inside of the coffee table or ottoman for that, and I wondered where people would put clothes and things, if staying in the living room. I wasn't a fan of that raised coffee table thing either, I didn't see the point, but maybe it's useful as a higher surface?

 

[Ruttangel]

great photos, I like the refurb a lot, got to wait til next summer to stay there though!

 

[Geomom]

It’s a little shallow but still a nice addition

Thanks for posting pics. Mini nightstand will work well for DH. Looks big enough to put his glasses and phone. Definitely better than nothing!

I think they knocked it out of the park on the furniture, flooring, and artwork. With that being said, I would have preferred they chose a different paint color. The off-white just seems really plain for the boardwalk given how colorful the rest of the resort is. And the bathroom, while very nice, just seems way too plain for a DVC resort. Would have liked to see some more pops/accents that scream "boardwalk" in the bathroom like they did with the boulder ridge refurb.

Overall I think they did a really nice job, and I think this style will keep people happy for the next 7 years. It's a thankless job trying to blend the classic room designs that everyone has been accustomed to for the past 14 years with newer touches/furnishings because you'll never please everyone.

Thanks so much for all the pictures, very exciting to see the changes. I'm another who can't wait to see pictures of a one-bedroom unit. We will be there the end of January and early February, we have a one-bedroom BWV reserved, I hope by that time the BWV rooms are all completed so I don't get PG room. I would have booked a standard view room, but they were all block out at the 11-month window.

Have you noticed if there is any change to The Cake Bake Shop on the BW? I was very disappointed this past February when it wasn't open and now it's looking more and more like it won't be open in February 2024.

No table with real, comfortable chairs, no good storage, bland/boring, colorless walls and no more ceiling fans I was so looking forward to the BWV renovations but now I feel disappointed seeing the pictures I have a Boardwalk view studio booked from 12/4 to 12/13 so I will try asking the front desk for a real chair because there is no way I can sit on that low, backless stool for 10 days

Hoping to see a 1 Bedroom soon!!!!!
