What are the best rooms/views to request at BCV? We've never stayed there before.....are there villas that face EPCOT? Which villas are closest to the main hotel? When I asked the CM at MS she said the only request she sees is for a "courtyard view"....but when I look at a resort map, I don't see where that would be.

Thanks for any help!

We wanted to be close to the DSA for DW so we just asked for that. Had a great view 1st floor walked across to the pool area DSA. Easy walk to the Bus ,parking lot and rest of the resort.

I think most Epcot views are on the woods side of the building . I would just request that go for Floor, then close to MainBuilding ,Epcot view . The planners will know what your asking for and try teir best.

I have no Idea of a Courtyard view maybe thats the area between the 2 villas and the main building on the Front entrance side, as thats the only Courtyard it has the Ariel statue at the doorway.The only view you would have there is the Car droppoff area .

The "views" aren't a big issue at BCV. Some might be marginally better than another, but the big selling point for this resort is its location. I'd just ask for an upper floor (less chance of noisy people overhead).

Yes, the courtyard view is overlooking Ariel's statue. Here's a typical "courtyard view" studio-

Yes, upper level is probably a good idea. If you want to be close to the main hotel, you want to be close to the main elevator. I always ask for "quiet area" and get very far from the elevator (OK with me) but for you, not so good. I know there's a website with lots of BCV view pictures, I don't remember the link, but hopefully someone else will.

Bear with me, what does "DSA" stand for?

Thanks for the replies, everyone....I'll make sure to request an upper floor, near the main elevator, on the woods side of the resort. In the end, we'll probably love anything at BCV!

Sorry... I'm confused about your picture D&R love Disney. You said that that's room 541 but according to the map from Patricia721 room 541 is a woods view. I would love to have that view if i could get it. Can you ask for a specific room and how far out can you make that request. Before we were members i would call 24 hours before and make a request and i have always received what i asked for.

Thanks

My room # was 555 (studio). I had a very nice view of Spaceship Earth, some of the World Showcase and the higher Illuminations fireworks. While this room faced the road, I was not bothered by the road noise when I was on the balcony & couldn't hear it at all when the balcony door was closed. I really loved that view!:cool1:

Sounds perfect... Did you request your room or were you just lucky?

I'm on the waitlist for the end of March for BCV. If i don't get in i'm going to try for June.
