How close are the BCV to Epcot?

[Pollito916]

Where are they at the BC? Is it possible to stay in a studio at the BCV and have a view of Epcot?

Thanks.

Distance-wise, BCV is the closest Epcot resort except for parts of the BC.

They used to allow reservations with Epcot view, but I have heard that they don't take it anymore. Take the woods view, higher floor and you might be able to see Illuminations. There is construction from Soarin' that might block some of the view or make it a less than pretty view.

When you drive up to the BC, the BCV are on your left next to the roadway that continues on under the waterway to Epcot going to the Boardwalk. They are not directly on the water that fronts the BC/YC and BW.

I wonder if SOARIN's construction / structure is the reson EPCOT view requests were stopped?

I think they just got tired of people complaining when they didn't get their requests met. Bow that they don't take requests, you get what you get and get over it.

Very right.
Besides that, the rooms that view Epcot also have view of an access road (along with a wall hiding the access wall from the lower floor rooms on that side of the building). We stayed at BCV and ended up with a 3rd floor Epcot view. We had not requested any specific view, but were happy with what we ended up with. I have seen posts though where people got the same view we did and complained about seeing the access road.
So, I think that is one of the other reasons they got rid of Epcot view requests - it comes with an access road view that people complained about.
