I found some pics on http://www.ourlaughingplace.com/asp/pix.asp?resort if anyone is interested. There doesnt seem to be much privacy on the patios, but it does mean that the kids can play outside the room. I dont know what I would prefer - a second floor balcony (for the view and privacy) or a patio so the kids can play. Which is best ????
I never stayed at the BC, but the BCV. There is a walkway that runs right next to the patios of the first floor rooms of BC that face Epcot. You can see the map at this web site:
On the map it look like there is some distance between the path and the rooms. This is not really the case, especially the last section of the building closest to the lake. I didn't like walking on it because it was so close to the rooms in that section. The other sections toward Epcot were slightly better but not great.
I have young children so I appreciate the patio idea. Especially to escape the room during naps!!!
