Hi, BCV has a "ROOM READY" policy. So they will offer you what is ready at the time you check-in. You can also ask what will be available later in the day,if you are checking in before 4pm. We stay at the BCV(it is our HOME resort) about 3x each year and have gotten the LARGE balcony a few times but never specifically asked for it.We prefer a woods view,so that is what I always request and end up waiting for,if it will become available. A pool view room is what seems to be READY every time we check-in! And a few times I have gone ahead and taken the pool view because it has been on an upper floor,which I also request! Joan
