At BCV from 11/11 for 3 nights. We did the W & F Festival at Epcot for 2 1/2 days. Parked our car and didn't get back in it until we were ready to leave.
Check in at 12:30 PM. Went kind of slow due to a new CM. She finally had to call for help. Room not ready but we slipped into Epcot for a couple hours. Room ready about 3 PM. 1st floor HC 1 BR. We asked for higher floors but none available. Pool view. Of course the BCV is very much like the BWV in size and layout. Having to use an ECV I found BCV to be a little tighter than BWV due to the bench seat dining protruding into the doorway to the BR. The room was very nice. We looked at the model 1 BR and if you don't have to have a HC villa you sure don't want one. The kitchen, dining and living is tighter than the regular villa. Like the BW there is no dining counter at the divider between the kitchen and TV area. The regular villa model is much nicer, space wise. The kitchen is all laid out for a WC. Lower counters. Micro on the counter. Smaller stove, dishwasher. We only had one ice tray and I called and asked for another, When we returned that evening we still had one ice tray but we now had two Ash trays. In a NS villa for gosh sakes. I guess my Ky accent wasn't to clear to the Hispanic keeper who answered my request. Another call got it right.
One of biggest surprises was there were only two HC parking spaces at BCV. That was strange. They were occupied the whole time we were there.
We have stayed in a 1 BR at BWV and I probably would opp for that over the BCV. SAB is not of interest to us. And the walk to Epcot from BWV is not much longer than from BCV.
AS an OKW owner our villas and parking suits us perfectly. But we really liked the BCV and all you new owners who haven't been there yet will really enjoy it. A great location to do the W and F Festival. We will try to return to do the W & F if we can get in with the 7 month window.
