We are owners at BW & OKW, but for four nights we stayed at Coronado (pretty nice, but the lake area was SO quiet)...
Anyways take our opinions with a grain of salt, they are only our opinion.... We love Boardwalk & like OKW, but we took the opportunity to go over to VWL... walking down the hall our son said the place was Creepy... I tended to agree with him, it was very dark & somewhat drab... I guess I don't like the very dark wood they used...
They did something screwy to the bathroom as well... in the bathroom there is now a wall between the shower & toilet, but they still use the same entrance door... I can't figure that out... why they did it... it makes the bathroom feel SO much smaller!!! The dark wood throughout & the odd color schemes didn't appeal to me, and now I have a 12 night stay planned for December & I want to reserve back at the Boardwalk... unfortunately that probably won't happen.... I'll make the best of our December reservation, but we probably won't stay there after that....
I'm really disappointed I feel this way, because I love the Wilderness Lodge itself!! I was hoping I'd love the Villa's, and I guess I just don't.... Darn!!!
About the Beach Club, we drove over since we were having lunch at Beaches & Cream... The place looks HUGE! I was really surprised at it's length!! I definitely didn't expect such a large building since it's a small DVC resort! But it is big & coming along! The one thing that bothered us about BC, is that NONE of the rooms have any sort of good view... The front of the building looks out over the parking lot, and the back of the villa's looks directly over the road, although if you look up, you can see the Epcot ball.... I don't know how they are going to charge Preferred view rates for this resort! Location is wonderful... but the views :-(
