DOES ANYONE KNOW DO THEY EVER PUT THE BCV 1 BEDROOM
VILLAS ON DISCOUNT FOR ANNUAL PASS??
WE ARE GOING THANKSGIVING WEEK BEFORE OUR CRUISE
A DEEP DISCOUNT WOULD BE SO WONDERFUL.

Odds are that you will not be able to get a discount at BCV. Disney only retains 3% of the rooms to use for their own use, with the rest being given to DVC members. Your best bet would be to try 60 days or less from your last day. That's when any unreserved rooms by DVC members is released for cash reservations. That doesn't mean a discount will be available, just that would be your best bet to find availability. Also, after Thanksgiving through the 2nd week of December is the most popular time for DVC resorts. It is the "cheapest" time for members to go and with all the holiday decorations, the DVC resorts are always full with members. It is difficult for members to get reservations without MUCH advance notice, so if you can get a room, and this is where you want to stay, book it at rack rate. Your other option would be to go to the ren/trade board here on the DIS and see if you can rent points. That usually works out to be cheaper than rack rates, and usually in-line with AP rates. It would guarantee you what you're looking for.

When we stayed during Christmas and New Year's (one of the very busiest times) there were AP rates available for all the DVC resorts. We ended up staying at OKW, but we had our pick of any DVC resort we wanted.

If it were me, I'd book now and watch like a hawk for the AP rates to be released. Availability with discounts is limited at all resorts, so it's important to get the discount as soon as they come out.
