Great room tour! Can’t wait to book a stay there!

Great room tour! Thank you!

Great video, thanks, Beth! What fireworks are you able to see from the balcony. I'm staying at the boardwalk villas boardwalk view and I am trying to plan to see all the night shows.

I stay at the Swan/Dolphin often. Usually Dolphin just because it's usually less than Swan but either work. I'd say I stay at them at least once a year, sometimes twice. Small point, the buses to AK and MK are not Disney buses run by Disney. You will sometimes get a coach like bus that will not allow you to take your stroller on board if you have one, it will have to be stowed under neath. They also do not drop you off at the same place Disney buses do. The AK will be where the ride shares drop off (which in my opinion is actually closer than the Disney bus stops) and only have a small shelter you will have to walk out into the rain if it's raining to board the bus. At MK you are dropped off at TTC so have to take either the ferry, monorail or sometimes buses will be running to MK. That can be an issue for some people. You can walk over to YC/BC or BW to catch a Disney bus if that is a breaking point for you. I have no issues with taking the Swan/Dolphin buses. Another selling point to Dolphin is they do have room service. It's limited and you can only get it by using the Swan/Dolphin app. which I've found is hit or miss if you aren't using an Apple phone but it is available.

OMG, look who decided to pop back in. HAHAHA. I like this hotel. Used to do lot of conferences here. Also enjoy it because we can get points. HAHA. LIKE 5. 👍👍👍

Great room and resort tour! Thank you for sharing!

Note, a viewer was kind enough to let me know that the Disney Dolphin and Swan now use third party bus services. They'll still get you where you want to go, but the pick-up/drop-off locations will be different and some of the policies might be slightly different. Plus, Marriott announced an upcoming renovation to the Disney Swan Resort and its sister property the Disney Dolphin Resort right after my stay! Are you excited to check out the new rooms?

Have you stayed at Disney's Contemporary Resort? If so, what did you think? If not, is it on your bucket list?

Marriott announced a refurb of the Disney Dolphin Resort and its sister property the Disney Swan Resort right after my stay! Are you looking forward to seeing the new rooms? Let me know if you have any questions!

Which one do you prefer, this or Kidani Village?

Great room tour! Jambo House is my favorite resort!

I don’t think the intention is to recreate a hunting lodge…

Have you stayed in a savanna view studio at Animal Kingdom Lodge? If so, what did you think? If not, is it on your bucket list?

Hello, you mentioned there were 3 views - do you know what a preferred view would be considered?

OMG, Beth is back! HAHAHA. We have not seen you in a while and you seem to pop in and always surprise us. HAHA. LIKE 4. 👍👍👍

Love the Poly! Great room tour and amazing view! Thank you for sharing!

Have you stayed at Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows? If so, what did you think? Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for watching!

hey there! do you remember if you wanted to move the bed to the wall was that possible? Thanks!

Does the refrigerator have a freezer section?

I nearly fell out of my chair when you said Saratoga Springs is better than Grand Floridian or Beach Club. It’s soooo spread out that you can only walk to Springs if you book a preferred room location, it has horrible restaurant choices on site, etc. Oh, and Abracadabar isn’t a restaurant (you said it was). Sorry, this video clearly heeded more research.

You produce quality content, but please get a wireless mic so you don’t get the horrible echo constantly. It will make you sound much more professional.

There's a lot to love about Saratoga Springs. Availability is often no sweat, points charts are reasonable, and you can park right in front of your villa. Just to name a few!

I’m doing my next solo trip at Saratoga Springs. I’ve never been before, so I’m excited to see everything!

Great video! Thank you!

Note, the Saratoga Springs spa has not yet reopened, hopefully we'll hear more from Disney soon!

OMG, Beth is back, again. HAHAHA. How are you Beth? Always fun to see your reviews. LIKE 3. 👍👍👍

I am booked in a Boardwalk Deluxe Villa Boardwalk view in Dec 2024. Thank you for your content!

Excellent review video. Thank you!

I really dislike clowns. Glad to know its gone.

Question! Is the mattress on the single bed removable? We will be there next year with our (will be 2.5 y/o) and I’m curious if we can put a little bed rail on this bed. One that has bars that slips underneath the mattress?

Thank you for this! Taking my family there soon!

I’m a new BLT resale owner, and I do not have a “blue card”. I’m doing my first BLT stay on points in a few weeks. How “strict” are the CM’s enforcing access restrictions to the top of the world lounge? Do you think they’ll let us in since we are actually staying on points at BLT? Would be nice to see the lounge even if it’s during the day.

We are considering the Saratoga Springs preferred studio as well. We have planned our vacation around Disney Springs. Hoping to get building group 16 for easy access.

I'm considering BL for our next contract. How difficult is it to book @ 11 mo during busy times of year?

Great video. Just booked our studio standard view for next year

Very thorough review. Thanks!

I love this! A beautifully appointed room that follows the lines of Riviera (I believe it was renovated right after Riviera opened.) Beautiful colors and that gorgeous headboard! Do those draperies have a purplish cast? So pretty with the pistachio green walls! I just bought a small add on contract at SSR and I can't wait to stay here for the first time. SSR is not glamorous like Riviera or Grand Floridian, but it's very tailored and spiffy. A very decent option. One thing--I believe the spa has not reopened and will not reopen as Senses. Perhaps as something else, though.

Not for me. Boardwalk is one of my least favorite DVC resorts, and this is from a Jersey boy who's old enough to remember pre-casino Atlantic City. I like the artwork, but the color palette is bland and, yeah, five people who are encourared to re-use towels and only one towel hook? One gripe from me that is relevant to all DVC resorts is the all white bed. The lack of color, pattern and embellishment is very obvious to me. I've heard they took away the bed runners and throw pillows because of sanitary concerns, but I don't think this is the case on the hotel side and have you seen the renovated rooms at the Disneyland Paris Hotel? Unacceptable that they've taken this touch away from DVC. They can launder thenm for what we pay. Thanks for the tour, Beth!

Are the one bedrooms refurbished as well?

I love the newly renovated Disney's Boardwalk DVC rooms! I enjoy the subtle Disney theming. The Disney detail on the drapes is adorable. I really appreciate the tasteful Fab 5 touches in the deluxe resorts, I think it is just perfect. If I want over-the-top theming, I stay at the Art of Animation or Pop Century resorts -- both fun! If I want more understated Disney decor, then I appreciate the theming USUALLY found at the Deluxe Disney Resorts. While I am not a fan of the "stencil" decor at the Contemporary, I am hoping that the Bay Lake Tower renovation is a more tastefully done. Like you, I am so happy to see the wall beds at the Disney resort hotels! Oh, and my friend & I laughed when you said "the entrance to Epcot is literally outside your door." 😉 While the entrance to Epcot is nearby, a short 10-15 minute walk, it isn't LITERALLY outside one's door at the Boardwalk. 😂 Thank you for another excellent tour, Beth. Always appreciate your insight, tips, and beautiful tours. 💙🙏

Hey, look who is back. HAHA. You always come back. You cannot stay away from Disney. HAHAHA. LIKE 5👍👍👍

Great video! Love the refurbed room!

What do you think of the refurbished rooms at Boardwalk Villas? Do you prefer the old rooms? Let me know if you any questions and thank you for watching! 😎

Great review! Stayed here in July 2022. The hotel was very quiet … almost deserted. Had breakfast in the restaurant and it was ok; nothing to write home about though. The staff was kind and the room was nice. Parking was a bit difficult (lots of circling to find a spot) so keep that in mind if you have a rental. The pier over the lake was very tranquil and a good place to retreat to read a book or just watch the flora and fauna. I recommend it if you are a business traveler or just looking to stay away from all of the amusement park crowds.

Just subscribed because of this video! I love how thorough you are and how you record/present everything.

I did stay at Saratoga Springs in a Preferred Studio in 2021. I liked I had a 1st floor room the and was within walking distance of Disney Springs.❤ I was there a few days and then one of my nieces joined me. I thought it was a great place for a Solo 62 yr old to stay. I watched your video on the Tower Studio at The Riviera and for my next trip I was thinking of trying it. Which Studio do you think would be best for a senior woman staying for a week? The Tower Studio, or one of the Standard or Preferred Studios at either the Riviera or Saratoga Springs? I would be renting my points from one of the DVC companies and would not be going until 2025. Thanks for your insight.

We 💙 Disney's Saratoga Springs. Stayed there many times. We will be returning to WDW this year & stay in the SSR Treehouse Villas. So excited. 😊

OMG, look who is back. HAHAHA. You come back once a few months or so. How are you Beth? Happy New Year 2024 my friend. LIKE 4. 👍👍👍

Great room tour! Lots of storage!😊
