What just happened to BWV?

Disney Vacation Club

So, I keep checking the DVC website to monitor if there still remains 1-bedroom availability at BWV for the days of our trip ahead of the 7 month mark. It has been fairly stable each day, which gives me an inkling of hope that I’ll get something.

But anyhow, today, I noticed something weird. First, before, when I checked, the ONLY availability listed as a 1-bedroom Garden/Pool view room. But now, there is listed wide-open availability in the standard AND the PREFERRED room.

It is that second part that is confusing. BWV doesn’t have a “PREFERRED” category. They have a Standard, a Boardwalk-view, and a Garden/Pool view. Those last two categories are both preferred, but have never shown up that way when I search. They have always show up as either Boardwalk view or Garden/Pool view.

So…what happened? Why are BWVs now showing Preferred as category, but not Boardwalk-view or Garden/Pool view???

Do I chalk this up to Disney IT? Or did something actually change?

ETA: Nevermind…figured out the issue later in the thread.

What if you search for 1-bedroom? (Similarly, I’ll search for Studio and see what happens.)

oh duh details

Oh! I figured out the problem. I apparently fat-fingered (or, fat-clicked, really?). I thought I had clicked Boardwalk. But apparently not, and so it was defaulting to SSR!!!

Crisis averted.

Were you definitely on the DVC site, not the Disney one? That might explain it because I believe they don’t differentiate between some categories. And not just at BWV either.

Edit: never mind, saw your response.

Sadly, when I search for the PROPER thing now, it is no longer showing full availability for the dates I want. Bummer…but I’ll keep watching in case it changes again.
