What views are available at BCV?

[StevenTheGeek]

Looking into making ressies for March 2004 at BCV. So far, I would like the following:

BCV
2BR / 2 Queen Bed dedicated room
5th Floor (or highest available)
Non-Handicap (I heard you may have to specify this request)
Near Elevators
Near 'niceities' (i.e. Ice machine, snacks, soda, etc)

But I'm unsure what view are available. Please advise and thanks.

First off, you need to prioritize any requests in order of importance. For example, I do not see a smoking or nonsmoking preference listed here. You may find that to be a top concern.

I have never listed "non handicapped" and have never been placed in a handicapped room at the DVC resorts. I would think that you could double check when you are checking into the resort, but most likely you will not be placed into a handicapped accessible room unless you ask. Yes, it has happened but the odds truly are against it.

I am not aware that BCV offers snack machines, although there may be soda machines. With the DVC Resorts having small grocery shops available, I would not be too concerned with requesting a room located near such machines.

Pool view and Epcot view are both mentioned as requests by folks at the BCV. I have not stayed there yet, so I cannot speak from my own experience. However, I have also heard that an Epcot/Illuminations view may also offer you a view of the service road which may have a bit of noise at times. I will be staying there next month and I am eager to see where I end up myself, LOL!

Good luck!

Views at BCV are basically:

Garden/Epcot View- this view will give you a view of Illuminations from the higher floors and spaceship earth, but there is also a view of Epcot Resorts Boulevard. These rooms are the farthest from the main elevators, but close to the 2nd elevator and the parking lot.

Wood/Wetlands View - About half of the rooms on the higher floors also have a view of illuminations. All rooms have a peaceful woods view. Most of these rooms are close to the main elevators.

Courtyard View - These rooms have a view of the courtyard between the Beach Club and Beach Club Villas.

Pool View - These rooms naturally view the "quiet pool" at the BCV. They spread out throughout the entire resort so you could get one close the to main elevators or furthest away from it.

Doc has a really nice post about views, hopefully he or someone else will give you a link to it.
