We are doing a split stay this Aug and the second half looking to stay at BWV 1 Bedroom. Is it worth the extra point's to stat in Boardwalk view?
Thanks

We stayed in a 1 bdr BWV there for the first time during Food and Wine last fall and loved it! We only needed a standard view studio but couldn't get that at 7 months out so were forced to use a few extra points. I expected to be disappointed but it was great - enjoyed the view and the great light. We didn't have any noise issues, which I was expecting. That said, we were there just 3 nights, so it wasn't a big point drain either. If you're staying a much longer time and since you're doing a split stay (where else?), it might not be worth it to you, especially if you won't be in the room much.
Boardwalk view is the same number of points as the preferred view.

So BLT for 9 nights and BWV for 9 nights? BLT is our home, and if you haven't stayed there, beware that a standard view studio there COULD have a lousy view and feels pretty cramped, so IMO after 9 days you may be very glad for the 1 bedroom and the nicer BW view. But IMO 63 points is a big chunk and only worth it to me then if you'll be in the room quite a bit. I suppose it comes down to how many points you have though. For me, I wouldn't do it but we don't have a huge contract.Bill, My other option would be standard 1 bedroom which is a 7 point difference. 28 compared to 35 points a night.

If you're taking a leisurely approach to your visit, then definitely spend the extra points to get that BW view! I've stayed in std. view at BWV several times to save points and TBH, the views are nothing to write home about BUT... that BW view of the lake, the lights, YC/BC and possibly EPCOT is phenomenal. The only problem is that once you have experienced it, you will not want to settle for a std. view anywhere else.The first half would be 9 nights at a studio in BLT with a standard view. We have AP's so we don't have to hit the parks hard we can go more leisurely.
Boardwalk view is the best view on site; we almost always get it rather than standard despite that standard is the best bargain on site. You should look at it this way: BWV boardwalk view 1BRs cost about the same as BLT standard view, BCV, BRV, and CCV, cost a lot less than VGF or BLT lake or theme park view, and boardwalk view beats the view of all of those. In other words, the question you should be asking is not whether boardwalk view "is worth the extra points," but instead, "how did it ever get to be so cheap."
