BC Villas vs. YC/BC Concierge

[onthego103]

Our family of five is trying to determine where to stay for a week through the FT package. In the past, we have split our stays between two resorts and have always enjoyed doing this. Does anyone know if BC Villas are available through the FT package?
When staying in the villas, do you receive housekeeping services daily? For anyone who has stayed in both, which do you recommend? We love the pampering of Concierge, but the extra space would also be nice.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I already HAD reservations at BCV for our trip; I was able to switch all but the 2-bedroom over to the FT package. Then when WDW put the package on their website, I looked and the 1-bedroom wasn't showing as available for our trip timing. I was very glad I already had the reservations.

We've never tried concierge at WDW, so I can't do any comparison for you, sorry.

While I do not have experience with either accomadation you are looking at I can answer your BCV housekeeping question. If you reserve your room through Disney (CRO or WDTC) you will receive daily housekeeping. If you rent points from a DVC member you will NOT receive daily housekeeping.

With 5 people you will need a two bedroom unless one of the five is under the age of 3.

I knew we would need a 2-bedroom, and I checked today and none are available. I guess that simplifies our dilemma about where to stay somewhat!

Pamlur -

I was able to switch my 2 BR BCV to the FTP.

Barbara, what are your dates, if you don't mind my asking? I have no problem calling them again....and again.... and again..

July 16 through July 23. I couldn't add on the 7th night because they were booked already for the 15th and for the 24th.

Screwed up my dates there - we will be at BCV on July 18th through July 23. (6 nights) I wanted to add the extra night but they didn't have available on the 17th or the 24th.
