Stayed at BCV, my home resort, from March 13 through March 20. I had bought the DVC points sight unseen last year, so I was curious to find out what it was really like. My general first impressions, just looking at the resort were very good. The trip was made the first day when, after an all night drive from Toronto, I was checked in to room 254 (2 bedroom) at 10:45 in the morning. After reading these boards, was definitely not expecting the early check-in; was just looking to check in the bags and swim. Our room was very nice and spacious, although definitely looked lived in. Found the front desk staff pleasant, but not particularly helpful. I had problems setting up my high speed internet connection, but they were no help. I was also a bit dissapointed that there was no "what's on" sheet for the Beach Club for the week. I was aware that BCV was not as activity focussed as the other DCV resorts, but was not expecting zero.
Loved the area, my room location (overlooking the Dune's Cove pool), and being at Disney. Was never bored looking up from the pool and looking at the buildings. The easy access to Epcot was also a plus.
One question: Is there an "official" location for watching the Epcot fireworks from the roof at BCV? We made our way to the roof one night, but we were dodging rooftop equipment when we were up there.
