Just back from BCV! Our first stay in a 1BR! Had requested upper level Epcot view. I was originally assigned a pool view, but the CM looked and found room #373 for us, which I knew was on the Epcot side so I took it. We got up there and straight off the balcony was Spaceship Earth. Cool! At night we could see all the fireworks from Illuminations, the tip of the torch from the earth and hear the music.
The 1 BR was great. I see what people say about the bathroom doors being a little odd, but we figured it out and had no problem.
While our view was great, we were also right by the road/bridge over the canal. The rest of my family had no problem with it, but that first night I had a heck of time getting to sleep with the cars going over the bridge. I know it was totally me and truthfully, the rest of the nights, I had little trouble getting to sleep - so tired. But I think I may ask for a pool view next time to see what the noise difference is for me.
Loved the full kitchen! Loved the jacuzzi tub! My only comment is that I think the jacuzzi jets and the washer/dryer is loud. Now, this is totally personal. I don't have a jacuzzi tub at home, so the noise from the jets could very well be normal! Just took me by surprise. And I have all "quiet" series appliances at my home, so I never hear the washer and dryer. Also, my washer/dryer are in a separate room in my house and my house is definitely bigger than the 1 BR. So the space in which the noise can move is limited as well.
Not a complaint, just an observation on my first stay in a 1 BR.
I also am thinking we will be trying to stay in 2 BR in the future. My kids love the "secret" bed in the couch, but it was kind of a pain to drag in and out every night. Plus, then if someone gets hungry and there's still someone sleeping, in a 2 BR, waiting isn't an issue.
So hope this makes sense, I can tell I am tired. Talk at you all later!
