BVC-EPCOT Fireworks View?

[disneystick]

Any suggestions which room have the best EPCOT fireworks view. We have a 2BDQ reserved for our June vacation.

There is currently no view that you can request for this. But if you request a non-pool view, non-BC view, you might get something close in this area. Also request higher floor.

From what I understand, there is very little chance of seeing the fireworks from the rooms at BCV.

But jeez, it's like a TWO minute walk into the park to one of favorite viewing areas! That's gotta be good news!

As you can see, I had a very nice Epcot Fireworks view from studio #422. I'd call it woods view:

I'd love to get that same studio next time I go.

We had room 253 and could see the hireup fireworks but this room was great. If you like to sit on the balcony this one is huge. If you got room 453 or 553 should see more fireworks. wut ask for a woods view and that will help. Check the boards in the search for BCV best room I had the list when we went you can ask for a room # and you might get what you want. Good luck but wee love BCV all room but first floor.

Anyone know if you can see anything from the walk-way to Epcot? Not going to go to EPCOT next trip but love Illuminations and staying at BCV.

Although I don't know about the walkway, I do know that you can see some from the beach. There were about 20 people whenever I'd go there to watch Illuminations. And you can sit in the glider or on a chaise lounge.

I always found that the best view for fireworks is on the wing facing the perimeter road. those rooms give you a great view of the fireworks (you are basically facing behind the back of soarin plus you have a great view of the ball as well)
Once when we checked in we found that the CM have a chart of the BCV and each side of the building has a specific name
For example the front entrance i believed was called Ariels, The area near the picnic tables was called the Dunes. (i do not remember all of the names but if someone can get a CM to give them a copy of the map it would be helpful to pinpoint the side of the building you want, however : i do not know if member services will use that during reservations but the Cm`s at the front desk do.)

I have been to BCV over a dozen times and probably the only side i don`t like is the main entrance side (Unless you like to watch busses and taxis pulling in the entrance)

Good luck to all on future BCV trips (i will be back in early march)

You also have a great view of the fireworks from the bridge that connects the path coming from Boardwalk where it merges with the path coming from BCV. There were tons of people standing there when I was there a few weeks ago.

We were in 173 (a 1 b/r) last year, and had a decent view of Illuminations through and over the trees. I assume that the upper floors in the wing close to the parking lot would have a decent view.

Just stayed in studio 4005 at BWV excellent fireworks view.

We were on the 4th floor right as you got off the elevators (the # escapes me now) and we had an amazing view of Illuminations. It was overlooking woods/the road.

You can definately get a nice view of the fireworks. We were in Room 472 in August, and we could see the fireworks each night.

Though as someone pointed out, you are literally three minutes away from watching in the park. One night we got home as Illuminations ended. But we actually watched them in the park 5 times in 9 nights, it was wonderful.

If you want a REAL fireworks view, forget about BVC and move to BWV, staying in a BW view upper floor. The views there blow away the BVC ones Simba posted (you can see EVERYTHING, not just the higher fireworks). Absolute best view in the house is from villas 4001 or 5001.

We just returned from a trip a little over a week ago (boo hoo!). This time, I didn't request anything and we were given room 353 -- a two-bedroom with, surprisingly, two queens in the second bedroom. I say "surprisingly," because I had forgotten to request two queens. I sure was glad to get them, though.

Our view was kind of "woodsy" during the day, with the road in the background, but with a view of Illuminations at night. Since others have mentioned it elsewhere, I have to say that the "road noise" didn't bother me at all. In fact, I can't even remember ever hearing it. The view of Illuminations was terrific. I imagine it would have been even better a floor or two up, but we loved it and would be glad to get this room, again.

We were just in 553 in December and could see the fireworks! We didn't really ask for anything view wise when we checked in. She gave us the choice of 453 or 553 and we chose the 553. Then she said. Oh you have a fireworks view! It has a long balcony and we were able to see them practicing the NYE Illuminations fireworks after midnight one night, so that was a treat!
