Just back from a week at BCV

[scubamouse]

And we LOVED it!!! We were in room 536 of the BCV overlooking the villas pool. The room was fantastic and mousekeeping was outstanding. The theming was nice and airy. We used SAB almost every day we were there and kept finding new cool things about it during our whole trip. We never had a problem finding a place to sit around the pool but we only needed a chaisse or two for our 4 some.

The Marketplace was just fine. Are all refillable mugs the same now? We got a cool 2007 one to add to the collection. We were able to get sandwiches and use snack credits with ease.

We loved walking to Epcot but on our second rope drop morning, we drove. It really is a hike from Int'l Gateway to Soarin and we were doing our full-on NYC walking!

Any questions, fire away!

I leaving for BCV on Sept 8th. We will be using ME and will not have a rental car. Would you recommend we take a taxi to the front of EPCOTfor rope drop vs walking from the international gateway ?

How was overall bus service to other locations ? How was boat service to MGM ?

Some FP questions - was FP available for Lights Motor Action ? Which MK attractions had FP avialable ?

Thanks for anyinfo !

The boat to MGM was quick and easy.

Taxi to the front of Epcot depends on how many times you want to do Soarin and Test Track. We could do Soarin 2x and TT 1x based on our experience using Int'l Gateway. It took us 12 minutes to walk from IG to Soarin and we were bookin' - definitely the first of our rope drop group into the parks and we had a 20 min wait for Soarin.

Light Camera Action was no fast pass but didn't really need it. In MK there were FP for Splash, Space, Buzz, BTRR, Jungle, PP, Pooh. Maybe others that I'm forgetting/didn't use.
