We (1BR, family, the "kids" share the Murphy/pull out) are starting to think about where we should book for our trip next summer. We have never stayed at RIV. I know I am asking a biased group of people this, but can someone try to sell us on staying at RIV over BWV? Now that the "kids" are a little older and more independent, we would like to do it, but we cannot mentally justify it and are looking for some help. If we enjoy walking and are "eat whatever is convenient in the moment" people (meaning, the opposite of "foodies"), are there any real advantages to staying at RIV?
Things that come to mind:
- "Newer" (is it really, though, post-refurb?)
- More floor space in a 1BR
- No shared buses (that mid-day Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk drop-off can be brutal)
- More elevators (?) (We've honestly never waited more than a couple of minutes for one at BWV...)
- ....Is that it?
Having stayed there on several trips post-pandemic, we know all too well the advantages to staying at BWV. Resist your natural urge and sell us on a different spot!
