BWV vs BCV/YCV

[rick_ivnik]

I've notice that the BWV Boardwalk view requires the same number of points as the BCV or YCV (for our stay in Nov at least). Which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance.

BWV has alot going on, where the BC/YC are more quiet. We prefer the atmosphere at BWV. We are a night time family and enjoy the evening activities at the Boardwalk.

There are no YCV. Only BCV and BWV at the Epcot resorts.

While there is no difference in the number of points needed for the preferred view at BWV and BCV, the number of Boardwalk view villas is only about 20% of the entire resort. You need to have BWV points and reserve these now if you are going in Nov. You may already be too late to get the BW view. The BW view and the BWV Standard view go first and comprise about 40% of the total rooms at BWV. The non-BW view Preferred view villas are about 60% of the villas and have a view of the pools or gardens.

Actually we already have a reservation for the BWV with a Boardwalk view. We were thinking about switching it to BCV, the main reason for this was access to Stormalong Bay. But we have never been to either resort so I wasn't sure if Stormalong bay was worth switching a reservation over or if the benefits of being on the boardwalk along with Luna pool made BWV more attractive.
