Solid wall balconies are the absolute worst! Last year we received one for our Boardwalk View, 2 bedroom villa, even though I had specifically requested a non-walled balcony. Really a stretch to call that a Boardwalk view when you can only see if you’re standing up and peering over the balcony.

It’s almost unbelievable that someone could design a chair that is so uncomfortable. 😁 I am not terribly high maintenance about these things, but literally couldn’t sit in it. Ended up bringing extra pillows from the bedroom - one on the seat and one in back and still only able to use short...

I know, my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek. But boy I really had to beg, and it was super stressful 😬 I did feel a bit badly because maybe someone else got bumped, but that view is SO tough to get these days (been BWV members for 25 years and it has never been as competitive as the past few...

When I was there in early February, I had a split stay at VGF moving to a 2 BR, coveted Boardwalk View, for the second half. The morning of my move Boardwalk called and I answered the phone. They told me there was a maintenance issue and they were going to have to move me to a Pool/Garden view...

I can appreciate your post. I’ve been amazed at all the positive AH posts recently as we went to one in March of last year at DHS, and vowed I would never do one again. There were only a couple of snack carts which were hard to find and all with very long lines, And though we were able to do...

100% agree re Easter week. Many years ago we went April school vacation week (northeast, 3rd week in April) and it happened to fall the same week as Easter that year. It was crazy 😬

I’ve read from several sources that Mardi Gras is a heavy week at WDW due to folks in Louisiana being on break for the week. The date actually changes every year (I believe this year it was in mid-February?). One of the sites I trust said the first week of March is always one of their favorite...

OK, just curious. Would those of you who voted for the 3rd week as the best week above (March 29-April 5) would you reconsider and switch to March 22-29 given the RunDisney event April 3-6? I’m not sure Springtime Surprise is going to make a huge difference in crowds but happy to hear any...

Thanks for the heads up. For the love of God, it’s hard to find a week without something! 😁

Good luck & have fun!

Thanks, if it weren’t for the Mardi Gras holiday next year, I’d still do beginning of March as we’ve done that a couple of years, and have lucked out with perfect weather and low crowds. I think I’m going to shoot for that last week of March next year, if I can get the rooms I want. Your late...

Yes, I’ve been seeing that which is what made me nervous!

Thanks. I went first week of February this year and it was much colder than I’d like (barely reached 70 most days at the warmest point, and night times were in the high 40s). So late March/early April is my preference 😎

Hi all, Veteran DVC-er here, Boardwalk owner for 25 years. I am an uber-planner and usually spot-on with picking weeks that are somewhat reasonable in terms of crowd level. But I’m struggling with next March. I’ve checked a number of my regular sites in terms of projections and they seem to...

Interesting. We were just in the two bedroom above you (2003–2005, left Tuesday). Had the Murphy bed

Same! And yes, I also remember having to call every day at 9 AM. That was a real pain. As I recall that was for booking any type of DVC room reservation - you had to call daily to add each day. Not specifically related to walking.

25-year BWV owner and we always stay in a Boardwalk View room (usually a 2BR). Over the past few years, it’s become virtually impossible to get a boardwalk view (studio or 2 BR) for any length of time without walking. I don’t like having to do it, but am certainly not going to just give up our...

Yes it’s weird. The last time I purchased a Sorcerer AP was in November 2022. We were staying at Boardwalk and went in the international gate and did go into GS to activate them (so I don’t know if they would have worked if we hadn’t done that at that time). I believe I purchased this year’s...
