Join us as we dive deep into the renovations and construction updates coming soon to Disney's BoardWalk Villas! Amy also gets her favorite Disney sandwich but leaves with disappointment!
Awww - We love when people say hello. Sorry we missed you!I remember walking past you both last week while you were eating.
Was dying to say hello but you were at a table in a corner and felt bad to disturb you. Now I realise you were filming there too.
That cake shop looks like a shell but at least the Boardwalk Deli construction stopped later that week and the lobby restrooms were open again on 1st Sep.
It’s not just there though, the work in Epcot means you feel like nothing looks perfect around there, even le Cellier had scaffolding around it. Can’t wait for this period of refurb to be complete.
I completely agree with you 1,000% I was so looking forward to the BWV renovations and feel extremely disappointed with the new look Those backless, low-to-the-ground stools are absolutely ridiculous, absurd and useless No table or real chairs, no good storage, bland/boring colorless walls and no more ceiling fans The Boardwalk Inn side at least has light yellow walls, several lovely Boardwalk themed pictures, a beautiful feature of blue tiles in the tub surround, a cool hidden Mickey light, a comfortable real chair and special hanging hooks for the 3 cute vintage character pictures. The DVC side has the exact same 3 vintage character pictures but they are just thrown up on the wall!Just looked at BWV renovated studio room pics on another site and I'm terribly disappointed. I'm obviously in the minority from reading the posts but it couldn't be blah-er in my estimation. My beloved bubble mirror is gone and there's a pop up table with 2 padded stools. Stools?!! Wow. I'm in good shape but I'm old and stools are not my favorite chair to sit on and eat around a tiny pop up table. (again, this is my opinion). We stay at BWV often even though I own at BCV/Poly. I just booked 2 rooms in May and know we will go but a little bummed. Glad DH & I are at BCV in January.
In October we (adult daughter & myself - 2 rooms) stayed at BCV for 2 nights because we couldn't get all our days at BWV and the renovated BCV room we got was absolutely lovely. Peaceful and pretty and (we thought) upscale looking. My daughter (who absolutely loves BWV over any other resort) was shocked how nice looking it was. She is going to be really surprised, not in a good way, when she walks into a new BWV room. Blah.
I know others will love it so thanks for letting me vent. I feel better now.
Add me to the list of those that are disappointed. What designer thought that "plaid and drab colors" would invoke feeling of the Atlantic Boardwalk???? smh...I agree, disappointing. Hate the plaid headboard and drab colors.
