Am I crazy?
For an early December stay, we had AK king bed std view, because it was available with the AP discount for not much more than the rack rate FQ king room we had booked. YC/BC were unavailable with the discount and/or insanely expensive at that point. Then, a BC CL water view room popped up with the discount. DH said go for it, since well, BC. Duh.
Then I started doing the math. And got thinking about the smaller numbers of balconies and king beds at BC. So when a BWV 1 bdrm showed up for $150 less a night than the BC room, I swapped. I’m worried I’m going to miss YC/BC, but you can buy a lot of snacks to stock the room with, and it guarantees us a king bed, balcony/patio, full kitchen and much more space. No SAB, but the creepy clown is gone and who knows how many swimming weather days we’ll get in December anyway. We aren’t crazy about BW, the layout is screwy and awkward to get around, but it’s cheaper and more practical.
It’s the sensible decision, right? YC/BC Addicts, please reassure me that I’m not going to spend the whole trip looking longingly across the lake. It’s the whole king bed issue that’s our dealbreaker, we just can’t do a queen bed for more than one night and stay happily married.
I'm DVC. My preference is BCV or BWV over anywhere else. So Beach Club or BoardWalk over Animal Kingdom Lodge.
I would choose a 1-bedroom at either resort over a regular room at any resort. Have you ever stayed in a 1-bedroom? They're so nice. So 1-bedroom BWV over regular room at BC.
When I'm staying at BWV, I always end up wandering over to BC to look in the gift shop. And when I'm staying at BCV, I always end up wandering over to the BoardWalk to look in the gift shop. When I'm at one, I'm never unhappy and wish I were at the other one.
The only thing you're not factoring in is that they're supposed to be doing refurbishing work at BoardWalk. I haven't paid attention to the dates. You can get info about that over on the BoardWalk thread.
