It's Almost 2026, Would You Buy a 2042 Resort?

[VGCgroupie]

I'll be on the lookout for BWV but I saw a good price on a BCV contract recently. I'm hesitant though since I haven't stayed there although I want to say its similar to BWV but with a better pool.

I heard stormalong bay is great for kids but not so much for toddlers or little kids. I have BCV on my list of resorts to visit but it's not for quite some time.

I fell in love with boardwalk due to the theming inside the rooms. The artwork is amazing. Also being on the Boardwalk with the performers is great.

Also the friendship boats and proximity to Epcot.

Similar that they are both crescent lake EPCOT & HS convenient.

Pool just a tick upside at BCV. There are more dedicated rooms at BCV. There are no grand villas at BCV. There is only one basic view at BCV. Bought BCV, (during scary clown era..was creeped out buying BWV), but still like BCV better today. BCV has a detached building with a different color, making the DVC portion stand out yet still feel part of the main resort.

It’s technically garden/pool view or now called preferred, so cost the same as Boardwalk view, not standard or resort.

Ahh, okay! Trying to keep up with the the room view rebranding. Both great views so that makes sense.

Interesting, I thought BCV was all one color. It's a smaller resort and knowing I want to visit during a popular time also makes me nervous to buy there.

BCV is a teal, BC Resort is a blue. Should stay there & try the place.

Or anyone thinking of BCV, walk over there & go inside the DVC building. See for yourself the layout. How it’s close to the resort entrance area and for the bus stop access paths. Its pool is right outside it’s own sitting room doors, with a bbq area. The building goes over the waterway. Plenty of turtles to see.

I dont think the two hotels are similar at all. Maybe the room layout, but very different vibe

If you own there it's easier to book than Boardwalk, for two reasons:
1. No views.
2. There are dedicated 2 bedrooms.

It's very easy to get what you want at 11 months at BCV. Boardwalk has some better deals on value room views but BCV is easy to own at.

We already own one 2042 resort (OKW). If we were maybe 10 years younger , we would strongly consider BRV as we really enjoy the resort. And perhaps BCV because it’s so convenient to Epcot. But we’ve recently retired and don’t believe it would be in our best interests to do so now. And now that we have a lot more time for travel, we plan to make the most of it - Europe especially - (although WDW will always be in the mix).

The vibe is different but the color scheme in the 1 BR at boardwalk had a lot of pink and blue and it reminded me of the BCV lobby lol.

Have you booked there during December?

Yours was an amazing view! I would have guessed yours was Boardwalk view too. Great to know that view there could be had with a Resort/Courtyard view!

I've been really impressed with our first stay here so far. Beautiful place.

As others have said, that was Preferred View booking category. The location request would be “View of Village Green.” There are 28 dedicated studios but only 4 dedicated 1BR and no 2BR with that view, and many people request it, so it can be tough to get, especially if you book a 1BR.
