Anyone able to sneak a peak at BCV’s?

[SleeplessInTO]

I just walked through the third floor. No signs of refurb. Only work right now is in the villas lobby area leading to the quiet pool. They’ve finished the right side and are now working (painting?) on the left.



I’m currently on the fourth floor in a refurbished room. I requested “a refurbished room” via chat about a month ago.

Wonder the reason for the new finish date? What is up with that?

Any pictures of the room you would share?

Sure - I can take some pics and post them along with room number tomorrow when I check out. Right now my stuff is everywhere. It’s a one bedroom (pretty sure it’s part of a lock off).

We are in 566 and it has a very large balcony. But the elevator noise is too much for us so we are switching rooms. Balconies on floor 4 & 5 are generally small. Whereas second floor studio balconies are generally large.

I've yet to figure out any pattern to balcony size at BCV. In 25+ stays (It's my favorite resort), I've had tiny balconies on some rooms on the fourth floor, and other times I've had huge balconies on the same floor. About 2 months ago, I stayed in a second floor room where I couldn't get onto my balcony well, yet a few years ago, I had a balcony that was good for a party of about 30!

Work on the villas lobby area (there’s a new table in the centre) & walkway to the quiet pool appears to be complete. Sad to be checking out today.

Hi! This is room 448. It’s a one bedroom that is part of a lock off based on the connecting door I see. There’s two balconies which aren’t connected leading from the bedroom and the living room, we could see some of the Epcot ball and fireworks over the trees as well as the road. My pictures aren’t very polished but happy to answer any questions you (or others) may have. Excuse the towels and mess please.

View from bedroom balcony, fits two chairs and a table, and the living room balcony is the same.


The bedroom has USB outlets on the bedside tables and the dresser. There’s no door to separate the bedroom from the bathroom area but there is separation of the toilet (in it’s own little room) and the living area. There’s actually a lot of doors that lead to the shower… sometimes I got confused and the space felt a little tight when all the doors were pointed inwards!



To be continued - have run out of room for pictures (I guess there’s a 10 pic limit).

Room 448 continued
The kitchen area has a table with bench to eat at, as well as a little bar area with two chairs. Real plates / cutlery / glassware. No frying pan but we didn’t need it. Has a toaster, full fridge, freezer, and I took a pic of the coffee/tea set up.

Room 448 continued
A handy little table with mirror. But no hooks nearby.

No clothesline in the shower / bathroom.

Frying pan wasn't in the drawer under the oven? Had you needed it a request to housekeeping would have taken care of it.

We did not find it. But didn’t need it so did not ask housekeeping.

Thanks for all the pictures, greatly appreciated.

I just wonder what the hold up is until Fall now?

Disney doesn’t like making promises. They’d rather over deliver on low expectations

We just returned last night in 1 bedroom #358 and our room looked just like yours minus the murphy bed. Pullout couch (didn't use it) looked really bad with stains, etc. 1st time staying on the DVC side at BC.

Yes, it's a soft goods refurb so while they should be painting and changing any carpet/curtains etc you won't notice that much. The obvious biggest difference is adding the murphy beds.

I’m actually surprised that Murphy beds are part of soft refurbs in WDW. I ain’t complaining. It’s just they didn’t do it for Aulani in 2021.

I made a room request via chat for a 4th or 5th-floor studio for our upcoming stay. We arrive this Saturday 4/1. Will update you all on our results!

Our room definitely needs painting. Also noticed elevators look really bad

Regardless of what room I get, I guess I still need to pack this. Funny, not funny…
