Can you tell me when the non-busy time is so I can go then?
It's an upside to be that close. PVB is also not bad but if you're going to spend more time at F&W then BWV is best because you can walk.
Dates have not been announced. The festival ran from 08/29-11/23 in 2019 but with this virus, it may have a shorter life or not even happen in 2020. No one knows.I haven't logged on here in a while. Can you please remind me of the exact dates for F & W for 2020? Thanks so much !
Are we talking about 2021 or 2020? There probably is limited to no availability for studios at either for F&W this fall (plus we have no idea how or when it will be if it is still on with the current state of affairs) without stalking or waitlisting. If we are talking about 2021 I’d prefer BWV personally having stayed at both during F&W. When we stayed at the Poly during F&W one day the Epcot monorail line broke down and it took over an hour to get back to the Poly from Epcot-that was not fun. I do suspect that availability will be tough for at least the next few years from the closure going on right now as well as people banking points due to fear of travel or lack of time off/money to travel once the parks do reopen so even if we are talking about 2021 or later it really might be a matter for snagging what you can at 7 months.We love both resorts but, never stayed during F&W. Is there a downside being so close to World Showcase at such a busy time? Party of 2 adults, one tween, one toddler.

We had Poly, switched to BWV then second guessed myself, so Poly is on WL. Now I'm thinking we might just do a 1 bed instead in Dec. Yes, I'm a serial changer - LOL!I just grabbed a standard studio for BWV this morning for late Aug/early Sept and dropped my Garden/Pool view BWV - which I changed to from BRV just last week. So it’s not nil or impossible, just not wide open
Thanks, we have it booked, but I'm still stalking the RAT.I would do BWV if you can get in, but the Poly is nice too!

I’m so torn, DH loves BW but, I love the Extra space & QS at Poly plus other food options are just a short walk/monorail ride away.Poly is a BIG plus, more space and better food options.

I love Crescent Lake area so much and can only imagine how convenient it is for F&W. Funny, it didn’t actually dawn on me when I moved our June reservation to November that it was during F&W. We’re typically “home” 1st part of December for Christmas. I just happened to check one morning and BW was surprisingly available. I had Poly booked but, jumped at BW since DH loves it the most. DH will open and close Epcot so BW is perfect for him. He also loves the many bar options.FWIW I don't think the Boardwalk area is really any busier during F&W than other times so I'd not worry about that. Since DVC is meant operate at full capacity year round you really don't see that many differences. I think the number of weddings and conventions at Swan/Dolphin/YC/BW affect it much more than time of year.
My other thing is with F&W we're going for F&W. Epcot is easily walkable to consider the QS options there as part of it all but for the most part we enjoy the food booths and rely very little on resort QS during F&W. The size and layout though - PVB wins but otherwise I give the nod to BWV during F&W.
