Welcome back, SQ! That's great that you were able to book again for February. If you have any requests other than the exact room you had last time, you'll want to add those requests in case that same room isn't available. Happy planning!OK, so the last time I posted here was February 10 of this year. I was still chatting about the wonderful trip my husband and I took for our 25th wedding anniversary - our first without the kids and our first staying at a deluxe hotel (the magnificent Boardwalk Inn!!!)
I haven't gone back to ready my entire trip report, but from here looking back, every moment of it was fantastic. So, to cut to the chase, we've decided to go back again in February of 2015. And of course, we'll be staying at the Boardwalk Inn again. I simply cannot wait!!!!
I'm going to try to request the same room - not sure how that will turn out. It would definitely be sweet if we could get it though.
I guess I just want to say I'm happy to be back and am looking forward to obsessing over these boards. So much great information. I'm hoping to get it all booked within the next few days.
Anything major I should know about that's happened since February 2014? HAHAHA - Just kidding. I'll be reading up to get the scoop!!

Thank you for posting about your BWV stay. There's nothing worse than being sick on vacation AND losing your credit card so thank goodness it was your last day and not your first. Hope you got everything quickly canceled and straightened out.We just got back from a 5 night stay at BWV in a studio room. What a beautiful resort! The studio was bigger than I anticipated, really almost like two separate areas. DD21 slept on the sofa bed and said it was OK, except it sloped down in the middle. We flipped the mattress and I put the egg crate foam we schlepped with us (in a vacuum shrink-bag) under the mattress pad and she was totally comfortable.
We were in room 4050 and the view was very nice. We were over the Clown Pool but couldn't see the clown's face, which was fine with us as DD has never been fond of clowns (disappointed that we never had time to check out the pool or slide, though). The view "straight ahead" off our balcony was of Tower of Terror, the Ear-full Tower, and the Sound Studio at DHS, with the Swan off to the right. Everything about the room was great and worked well- fridge, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, hair dryer, iron, vacuum cleaner. Housekeeping was in on day 4 but only left clean towels and a bar of soap; I had thought they'd vacuum and make beds, too, but that was my misconception.
We LOVED being on the Boardwalk! We ended up coming home a several evenings so we could sit out on the Boardwalk with a margarita or beer and just unwind in the coolness of the evening. It was a perfect location for us, and we had a wonderful time (if you discount me losing my credit card and getting the stomach flu and so spent our last park day in bed )!
Thank you for posting about the room construction. I have no idea what is going on since all of the rooms were supposed to be completed the first week of September. Great advice about requesting a rehabbed room. Hope you're having a great vacation and just make sure that everything is linked properly in your MDX with the actual MB you're having trouble with.Checked into BWI on Thursday room 2282. Awesome Location and is was refurbished. Only about 2/3 of the rooms have been refurbished yet. You can still see a lot of Old carpet in the Hallway in floor 1, 2 and 3. so make sure you request an New room. Love the resort but having lots of Magic Band Troubles.
Welcome and I'll add your BWI dates to the Boardwalk Bulletin. Did you make any room view requests?Our dates are nov 11-16, 3 rooms, standard view. Celebrating Granddaughter's 3rd bday.
Thank you for the update. I wonder what's prolonged the rehab so much?We are here now on the third floor. Coming off the elevator to the left the rooms are being worked on. There is a temporary construction door set up blocking off that section. But going to the right off the elevator the rooms seem to be all clear. Saw lots of workers going in and out of the blocked section the couple times we were down that way. HTH
Hope you're enjoying the Innkeeper's Club and WDW. Are you in a suite again?Thanks for the info; we arrive in about 90 minutes.
All the best.
Of course I'll add you and welcome to the thread!Hi! Myself, DH and our 3 children will be traveling to WDW and staying at BWI Club level 11/14-11/20. Will you please add me to the list? Thanks!
Welcome! I hope you have a magical vacation.Subscribing to the thread. Staying at the BW for the first time in 18 days!
Thank you for the update.Nobody really knows. Before I arrived last week i had called and they told me no refurbishments would be going on during my stay. Yesterday I had a note in my room about construction noise during 9am until 5pm.
