My Mom and I checked into BWV last Saturday around 1:30pm. I had a standard view 1 bedroom reserved and requested top floor, across from the bus stop. I was hoping to get a room close to last year's - 4103, which had a great view of Illuminations. When we checked in, the cm said our room was not ready. I asked if it met our requests. She seemed kind of new, she looked in a book and said it really wasn't close to the bus stop, it was more towards the end of the hall. I thought great, we willn't even be able to see Illuminations plus it will be a long walk. She called another cm over and the cm said "that's a very nice room". I thought she was just saying that. She said they were sold out and all rooms are already blocked (so much for room ready). If we didn't like it, I could ask for a change the next day. She walked away and then the first cm showed me the book and said it's right here. Hmm...looks like that special corner room! I said OK. We went to ESPN for lunch and came back about 3:00, I used the house phone and they said it was ready. 3123! I knew that was the corner room because we had been in 3121 2 years ago and it was right next to it. So we went up and sure enough, it was! I couldn't believe it, this room is huge! The kitchen is like OKW and the living room area is much larger than other BW rooms. The bedroom & jacuzzi area was pretty much the same as the other BW rooms. The bathroom was a little smaller, the shower wasn't as big. It didn't have a counter, it had a large round table with 4 chairs. It was a long walk from the elevators but there were stairs across the hall that led down to the walkway to the bus stop and parking lot. Here are some pictures I took:

It has 3 doors off the main room: one next to the kitchen, one behind the couch and one next to the end table (all in yellow area). Then a separate balcony off the bedroom (in red area). We stayed in on Wednesday night because it was raining off and on and windy, I watched both Fantasmic and Illuiminations from the balconies. What a great room for standard view points!
No major problems, a few wear & tear marks. When I was dumping juice & milk this morning into the sink when we were cleaning out the fridge, the sprayer handle was broke, I left a note. My Mom left some crackers open on the counter one night and in the morning we had a few ants. We took the food off the counter and wiped it down, we didn't see ants after that.
So back to reality and cold PA!
