Beach Club 1-BR Villa Room Request Tips?

[gvel]

I’ll be staying at Disney’s Beach Club Villas in a 1 Bedroom Villa for 6 nights in late September and I’d love some advice from the experts here on where to request.

My priorities are:

Full balcony (I just learned that not all rooms have them at BCV)

Proximity to Epcot walkway for Food & Wine Festival evenings

Ideally quiet location away from heavy foot traffic, but still relatively convenient to lobby.

For those who have stayed in a BCV 1-BR recently, are there particular room numbers, floors, or view types you’d recommend requesting that check all or most of these boxes?

Thanks in advance!

If you want a full balcony, you definitely don't want Rm.347 That balcony was smaller than any studio we'd ever had! There were 2 balconies, good because neither balcony held more than one person and there were 2 of us.
But I can't say that all third floor 1 BRs have small balconies. 329 was the other one we had with a much nicer balcony and close to the elevator.

Thanks! It seems that most 3rd floor units are a bit of a gamble.
