BCV – Trip Report.

Just back from a week at the BCV! Everything was wonderful! I have always been treated great at Disney and am very happy to have become a member for two years. Stayed at the BCV and had the coveted Epcot and Fireworks view. Great view to see the ball all lit up at night. Sorry to say that it took our two year old till the last day to actually want to see them. The rest of the time we were out of the room or holding her because she was scared of the “boom-booms”. The room was in great shape being only four or five months old. In my opinion they are smaller then the BWV or WLV, most of the lost space is in closets.

I do want to warn the rest of you of what I consider a real problem with my room and ones in the same location. We stayed in room 552. It was a dedicated two bedroom unit. The problem was the trash collection at between 5am and 6:30am every morning. It took over an hour and you could hear the truck pick-up a dumpster, dump the trash, and drop the dumpster, back-up beeping, and start the process all over again. Our bedroom was on the corner it all came through loud and clear every morning. Also the traffic noise was unacceptable unless you like living on a busy roadway. Finally, there is this generator type thing below the room that started up three or four times when we noticed it and kicked blue smoke and diesel fumes up the side of the building. It usually ran for a couple of hours each time and was overly loud.

Enough of the complaining. The quiet pool was great, Storm along bay was great. The resort was great. Saw the alligator, turtles and fish under the resort. Even met Vince Neil the 80’s rocker from Motley Crew who was staying at the hotel.

Great trip and are deciding when to go again!
 
Vince is the one they call "Dr. Feelgood". Or insted of saying Welcome Home you should have sung a few bars of "Home Sweet Home"

:jester:
 
omg thank you for posting this. We will be staying in a ded. 2br w/epcot view on Sat. We have a newborn and this room could spell disaster!
 
Our two year old was up at 6 am on the first day when she normally sleeps to 9am because of the trash trucks. I am going to try and insert a picture from one of the other postings to show where our room was located.
 

Here is a map of the BCV with a blue circle around the the area of the trash pickup.

Hope this helps
 
I wonder if Vince Neil is an owner? I met him once in a Hooters in Nashville (of course, I was just walking by the Hooters). :teeth:
 
Boy Vince's days of being on the "Wild Side" ( one of Motley Crue's songs for those who don't know!) sure have mellowed if he was at BCV! I can't even picture him there! Lol~! Boy now I feel old!:(

No kidding! All these years I definitely had him pegged as a BWV guy!!! :teeth:
 
It was funny he just came walking out to the pool area with his wife, i think, and two other couples. One was his new drummer. The other looked like a body guard. They looked around and went into the bar next to the Yachtsman Steakhouse.

They stook out like sore thumbs. All in black with long black or bleached blond hair. Fake boobs. Tattoos everywhere.

Neil fit in the most with a silk white shirt, kaki shorts and white sneakers.

It was like the Sesame street game "One of these things just doesn't belong here...One of these things just isn't the same"
 
The funny thing is that I saw him once a few (more than I care to admit!) years back, before a concert where he was the opening act for Van Halen and he was wearing the exact same thing! Khaki shorts, tennis shoes and a white button up shirt!! Maybe he had just flown in from WDW! Maybe not!

Imagine my shock that you saw them going into a bar!!:p
 
We wre in Room 548, next to last room from the end, and I never heard the trash being picked up. I was on the yellow side of that wing right where the blue circle is drawn, based on the diagram above. We never heard anything, including neighbors on either side of us, if we had any.
 
I think the only rooms that will have a real big problem with trash pick up are the ones at the very end of that wing. They are X51 and X52 (replace the X with the floor number) Both are 2 bedroom dedicated units.
 
I was on the green side of the building on the end...

I asked my brother in law if he head anything in the second bedroom and he did not hear the trash pickup but heard the generator.
 
Is the sound from trash pickup backstage at epcot or from the resort?
 
I never acutally got out of bed and looked. Just buried my head under a pillow. Epcot is pretty far away and the trash removal for BC is right below the rooms. It would have to be for BC
