We had the courtyard view on our trip last year (view of the courtyard between beach club and BCV). We did not care for this view very much. I think the other views seem fine and I think we will be happy with any of them on our next visit (although we did request Epcot view).

I think this is a real good example of how subjective "bad" vs. "good" views are. I had a courtyard view studio and loved it. Yet, a few months ago, I got the Epcot view (the picture posted above looks like it could have been taken from the studio I was in), and the road noise was very bothersome to me. I missed my courtyard studio where, although I couldn't see Illuminations, I could sit on my balcony and hear the music played at World Showcase-loved it! But I know I'm in the minority here-for my next trip, I requested "not Epcot view" and the CM at MS was very surprised.
ITA. After one trip staying in an Epcot view villa at BCV--that I did not request! I will now, always request a non Epcot view at BCV. Although the the fireworks from Illuminations are very close to the Epcot view villas, so is a very busy and very noisy road. The view of Illuminations fireworks last tops 15 mins--not worth it imo, for having the almost constant traffic and noise from the road. Also in all truthfulness, we find the view of Illuminations fireworks to be farther away but a better view from BWV and YC rooms then from the BCV epcot view villas. Nope, we did not like these villas at all. We thought it was the worst room view, we have ever had in any WDW resort. We love BCV but will gladly pass on Epcot view villas for our future BCV trips.Originally posted by Simba's Mom
