So, we are dvc lovers/snobs! We had old rci tpus to use up and needed a big space. So we booked BC but also booked a few nights in a dvc studio to use the pools and magic express (using old expiring dvc points).
Bottom line-great resort, loved it!
Pros: We booked a 2 BR at BC for annual fees of $600+ Rci trade fee. And no extra fees. We asked to not be called for marketing-no calls all week.
Loved the various pools scattered around the lake.
Major con: Very crowded on a holiday weekend, and zero pool chairs at 11 am anywhere. But I’ve been at dvc with the same. Pools were people soup. More so than I’ve ever seen anywhere. Likely due to high density towers.
Also-I observed zero rowdy people anywhere-just lots of families enjoying themselves. And we loooved the great location. So much better than any hgvc or Marriott. Multiple trips to other dvc resorts, wdw, Disney springs were all super quick.
Dvc or hgvc points still work better for us, as we can Canx and rebook without penalty. But for the price, BC was awesome!
