BoardWalk Villas Owners Thread

What are the best spots to watch fireworks from the Boardwalk/Beach Club area?

I've got just the blog for you!

We just bought a 150pt contract resale here. We love this area. In my opinion, it is the best area to stay around Disney--access to two parks, skyliner, walking distance. We always loved the area and wanted to buy where we love to stay. Even though the contract is only until 2042, we figured that is 16 more years of pure joy, especially as our kids get older and will start to love epcot and hollywood studios more.

Welcome Home! We have been at the Boardwalk since 1996. Going to ride it into 2042! Great location. I can hardly wait until I see what they have going on in Jelly Rolls and the Big River. Not to mention the gallery. There is life in the old place yet!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Our kids grew up on WDW there. So many happy memories.

We bought resale here as well, 3 months after buying 200 at Riviera. My only regret is buying 75 points and not 50-75 more. We love that resort so much. The ambiance, location, night vibes, you name it. Being able to boat or walk to HS is amazing. Bussing to MK and AK in the morning weren’t too terrible. I’ll be riding our contract out until 2042 as well. Heck, I may buy another 50-100 points before then 🤣

A week or so ago, I took a few pics of the construction at BWV. Things are moving swiftly over by Jellyrolls. At night when the lights are on, you can really see how gutted Jellyrolls is now. Not much is visible from Big River Grille. I'm really hoping that these are the projects that are alluded to when the Disney website says guests should expect refurbishment work through late 2026. Maybe we'll see some real progress by the end of the year!

@LDLC12 Maybe we'll hear some info on Boardwalk plans at D23 in August this year!

I would love that! I want to see the BoardWalk return to its more lively self. It was sad passing by all the vacant spaces.

Disney Vacation Club quietly introduced a new booking change for Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Grand Villas beginning with arrivals on January 5, 2027.

Instead of one shared “3 Bedroom Grand Villa” category, Members can now choose between:

✨ One Story Grand Villa
✨ Two Story Grand Villa

The point cost stays the same, but the layouts offer VERY different experiences for larger groups and families. This could be a huge improvement for Members who previously had no idea which layout they would receive at check in.

Fun fact: there are only TWO two story Grand Villas at BoardWalk Villas, and even we were surprised the first time we stayed in one during DVC Fan Summerfest! 👀

Here’s what we know:

That booking change happened back in March (I posted about it on the other place) and I'm happy to see it. I've gotten the 2 story one twice! when I wanted the one story.

I'd happily stay in either the one-story or two! Lol. Kidding aside, it's a smart change on DVC's part.

In the 2 story the laundry machines are on the second floor. I'm the one who does the laundry so that's a pain for me!

Those tiny fridges gotta go though!

solid change. A 3BR villa is a once in a lifetime booking for alot of folks- we shoukd definitely get a layout choice. Love when DVC does things for the good!

Interesting! I probably won't ever need ( or have the points for , lol) a Grand Villa but if I did, I would rather one story if given the choice.
