I would allow 5 minutes for the walk...not the check in time at either the sandcastle or boat...r u sharing the boaT? They hold ten persons.

Look at the map below to guide you. Toward the center of Crescent Lake, you'll see the Lighthouse. Left of that on map, marina/boat rental.

Stayed for a week at BC in Jun 2009....BEST stay ever!!!! Teena sprinkled us with *pixiedust* and the kids still talk about it . Fast fwd to now, I am a new DVC member and looking at booking a studio at HHI mid-end of July, then driving to BCV and staying at either a studio or 1BR from Sat - Wed, +/- a day.

Soooo excited!!!! How small is the studio and what amenities are there in the kitchenettes? I don't plan on cooking, but want a fridge for drinks, juice, milk, etc. Figure we will eat breakfast in the room.

From what I read, I am thinking I should request large balcony, upper level floor (3rd or higher)? Are pool views noisy? And not a good thing to ask for "view of fireworks"?

Here's to hoping there is availability when my 7 mo window opens around Christmas!!!! Think it will happen?!

Yep we're sharing with other DISsers ... I later realized it would have been the same price to take the kids than leave them at the Club, but we had already filled our boat by then so c'est la vie.
Thanks for letting me know how long the walk is. Check in at the boat is for half an hour before the cruise, so we should be okay. How long does it take to check in children to the kids club?

Thanks so much for the map!

Hello BCV lovers and owners! I was just able to move my AKV reservation over to the BCV for a June trip. I wasn't holding my breath since BCV is so popular and was happy to stay at AKV, my home resort which I love, but am now really excited that it's a 'go'. Will now go back and read everything. I'll be doing 6 nights in a studio 6/6-6/11.

Very small.....not too much bigger than a hotel room. The kitchenette has a dorm style fridge, coffee pot, microwave, toaster and they give you paper goods for 4 people for one use. There is a small table that you can sit at and eat.

have fun

Keep your fingers crossed. Christmas is a busy time. Studios are small but you can make and eat breakfast there for sure. With a toaster, microwave, and fridge you can put something together for sure. Cereal, bagels, waffles muffins.

Leaving Thursday morning for my first visit to BCV So excited!!! It's just going to be me and DGD Lilly who is 5. We only have a studio since it's just the 2 of us. I have looked at the map on here (thank you) my question is....I don't see a laundry room in the Villa area. Is that true?

Thanks in advance

We want to get 2 standard studios at BCV (first choice) or BWV (second choice) by renting points. What are the odds that both would be booked at the 11 month mark for Nov 9-17. That first weekend would be veterans day weekend and the last weekend of F&W.

You should be able to get 2 studios at 11months at BCV but it may be difficult to get them side by side

 

[sazzifrazz]

Its OK if they are not side by side. Might be better to have a little distance between us and my parents lol

 

[Pirate Granny]

Standard are at BWV and none at BCV...you should book 11 months out.

Is there any way to ship a case of water to your villa at BCV without incurring the convention center charge?

So, we go to WDW and BCV on 1/25. I am a very light sleeper and was looking at the map and had asked in another thread about what to request. We will have a 2BR with 2 queens. It was suggested that woods view is quiet, but then I read a review somewhere that said the service road below was noisy and where the building arms out (dividing woods view from Epcot view) there is a trash or some sort of work area below that is noisy. So, I was thinking of requesting courtyard or pool view (can I say both in the request). I was wanting to request top floor (so there won't be anyone stomping/running around above us), but there are only 2 possible villas for us to get and they are both next to the ice machine and trash room...is that noisy to be next to? What will the request choices be when I do online check in? I am thinking rooms 302, 307, 323 and 324 are what I'll request. They aren't near service road or next to ice machine, trash room, elevator, foyer area but they are next to stairs (though I don't think that will bother us so much) and have rooms above them.
