Y'all - I'm SO excited! My MagicBands have shipped and I'm less than 30 days from my first-ever long stay at a resort! (My parents still live in Orlando, so I usually stay with them except for the occasional one-off night).
I've got one night at BC (Jan. 5) and then four nights at BCV! (Jan. 6-10) - super excited.
There's a large group of us running the events over Marathon Weekend - since I'm local, I'll be bringing cases of bottled water with me for our rooms ... and there's always some left over that I don't feel like carting back. Let me know if you're checking in on the 10th and I'll leave the remainder at Bell Services for you!
We just returned from a split stay at YC and AKL and we did not receive a bounce back offer at either of these resorts.I've heard a lot recently that there has beeen no BB offers in the rooms....at multiple resorts.....
Thank you for sharing! As a teacher, I have to vacation during school breaks, so I don't get to see the Christmas decorations unless I travel between Christmas and New Years. I appreciate seeing them through your photos.
There are no terrific room views at the BCV like at some other resorts - Boardwalk View at BWV, Savannah view at AKV etc.
The Villas building was added in the prior cast parking lot and it is behind the main BC. No lagoon view or anything special. We just think about what we like and request that - for example first floor, near elevator. Or higher floor Woods view etc.
That said, the BCV run close to capacity at all times. A room that meets your requests would have to be open for the length of your stay the morning you checkin for it to be assigned to you. I have never received my BCV Villa requests. But I have never been disappointed in my view either.
Good Luck
Thanks for posting the pictures of the BC carousel. I can see some hidden Mickeys in the pictures.Here are some pictures of the Gingerbread Carousel at the Beach Club This is so amazing, the details are incredible

I knew I should have posted our new trip dates yesterday. We booked a bounce back for a BC - GV room, May 19-24, 2017 for our anniversary. There wasn't any information about a bounce back offer in our room at the GF. You would have to know the bounce back extension number, which is 8844, or the phone number, in order to book a BB before checking out. I don't know if Disney plans to publish the dates or just leave it a great big secret.

Anyone know how long they leave holiday decorations up? Arriving on Jan. 1st.

I received this email while we were at BC in November. I didn't notice if anything was still in the rooms at the time because we're DVC so we don't book bounce back.
Hi all!!! We just returned from a very magical and wonderful stay: 7 nights at YC and the remaining 3 nights at AKL!
My hubby did a trip report in the trip reports forum. You can read it here: http://disboards.com/threads/our-ma...nov-29th-dec-6th-and-akl-dec-6th-9th.3565048/

Thank you for this. My pre-trip request was away from the pool and elevators. I wanted something quiet. We ended up with a suit on the 4th floor. The view was of the back road, which I couldn't hear at all. It worked out great.
I had a great time and the room was perfect. The updated rooms look fantastic. I'm going back in Jan for a solo trip. I'll be in the Studio BCV.
THANK YOU
Yes it does! It is just beautiful and smells heavenly.LOVE the pictures! I definitely want to do a trip one year to see the resort Christmas decorations. Just a curiosity question- does the carousel turn?
