We just returned from a week in BWV. We had a one bedroom pool/garden view. I'll post some observations/thoughts that may be helpful for those with trips upcoming. We were in room 5024. Fifth floor overlooking the "big pool" with the slide. We are normally overlooking the "quiet" pool but that wing is closed still. We were a bit bummed out to not be in our "normal" wing, but we were pleased to have a renovated room.
Someone asked about scaffolding. There was none to be seen around either pool areas. There is still significant work being done around the "quiet" pool with lifts and lots of power tools. During the weekends, there is no work going on and the "quiet" pool was quite nice. There were literally 6 other people there the whole time we were there. Yes, there is still equipment there, but if you face the pool/river, you don't see it. One other note, the shrubbery along the building has been removed and not yet replaced around either pool.
One definite positive, there are significantly fewer guests at the Boardwalk. It was not really that crowded and pretty easy to get reservations for dining or walk up. The entertainers on the Boardwalk were still there on the weekend nights. The family activities, s'mores, movies, kids pool activities still took place.
The Cake Bake Shop does not look close to being ready to open, sadly. The inside only has structural supports, no finish work has begun. The outside needs siding and finish work as well. There appeared to be only a few guys working the times that I walked past. I'd be very surprised if it was open before June (I am not a construction expert).
Nothing seemed to be happening with the Corn Dog kiosk. It looked the same as the picture someone posted here not that long ago.
The food truck is available for lunch and late afternoon but leaves before dinner time. We saw a Spanish food truck for a couple days, but there was a different one later in the week. Sorry, we didn't walk over to see what they were serving.
The renovation is pretty decent. I echo the sentiment about the patio chairs, they could definitely use a cushion. We had a Murphy Bed. I think it would sleep two smallish adults. It opens onto the couch so the couch is no longer usable. It appeared as though we were missing a chair or something in the living room. There was a pretty large open space in the corner that seemed like something should be there. The kitchen seems to have all new appliances and bar seating. There was a larger oval table and banquette as well.
New bathroom fixtures, dual shower heads, a bigger vanity and a deep soaking tub replaced the triangular tub that was there. They also closed in the opening between the bedroom and tub area.
All in all, we would definitely go right back and stay there again.
If anyone has any specific questions that I may be able to answer, don't hesitate to ask them. I'll check back from time to time.
They look like there should be seat and back cushions on them
