Actually own at BRV, but have also stayed at BCV (and have a trip scheduled there in 65 days). Regardless of refurb status, my biggest complaint about BC or YC (but mostly BC) is the mass of humanity that passes through both resorts on that side of the lake on an almost non-stop basis. Being so close to Epcot is both its blessing and its curse. It's even worse than the Monorail resort lobbies because you have the boardwalk as well. Add to that the number of private events that are held on the BC lawn and the sheer mass of people those introduce (it's a sea of people in one huge mass across the beach, the boardwalk, and the lawn), and that "remoteness" of BRV doesn't see like such a negative.
