First time poster, long time lurker. First, I want to thank all the active posters on this thread and on these boards. You all are so informative and helpful that reading these posts is as important as buying tickets and making reservations. We are staying at the Villas after the new year and are bringing our infant son for his first visit. Obviously, we will be spending a good bit of time at the resort (which is why we chose the BCV) and in the room; naps, feedings, etc. We will also be using the balcony quite a bit. We each will alternating between caring for the baby and entertaining our daughter. So, I need some advice on articulating a room request that will increase the probability of getting a quiet room location. I understand that one side of the resort is adjacent to a road and another overlooks the "quiet" pool. I'm unclear what boarders the "third" side. Visual aesthetics aren't as important as relative peacefulness for both us and our son. Any help Teena, BCV23, or any other expert can give would be greatly appreciated. Regardless, thanks for all the information on this board.
Welcome to the DIS!

I'm not an expert but I'll try to help. I think I would request a quiet villa and trust the room assignors. We've never had a noisy villa but I think I'd avoid most of the first floor as there is more foot traffic there. The road noise has never been a problem for us. You can hear it if you're on the balcony but not from the room. The bigger issue on that side might be the booms from Illuminations....that would depend on your baby of course. We've never heard noise from the pool either although a few people have noted it. Perhaps it is worse in summer. We rarely go to WDW in that season and have not had a pool view when we have.
I'll attach a photo of the Epcot area that a DISer posted. It may help you to understand the different sides but I think the assignors do a great job so I would trust them.

I hope you enjoy BCV. We're headed there after the New Year as well.
